Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown (kidney) was cleared two weeks ago to beginning working out this offseason after he missed the end of the 2024 campaign due to a kidney laceration that he suffered in early December in Week 12. Brown had a strong first season in Washington in 11 games (nine starts), catching 35 of his 56 targets for 453 yards, with his only touchdown coming on a dramatic and successful Hail Mary to help beat the Chicago Bears. "I feel like I'm built for this, and I'll come back stronger," Brown said. The 29-year-old was re-signed to a one-year deal to return to D.C. for the 2025 season, but it will be harder for him to make an impact in fantasy after Washington traded for Pro Bowl pass-catcher Deebo Samuel Sr. Brown should still have a role in the Commanders' offense, but as things currently stand, he's looking like more of a WR5/6 in deeper fantasy leagues.

Dynasty | The Washington Commanders have re-signed wide receiver Noah Brown. Dynasty Analysis: The long-time Cowboy looked like a potential breakout player in Houston when he posted a total of 325 receiving yards in just two games in the middle of the 2023 season. Unbelievably, he has just 1,675 receiving yards in the other 85 games he's played in his career. He had just 35 catches for 453 yards last year with one single touchdown - the Hail Mary that beat the Bears and ignited the playoff run for the Commanders. Simply put, Brown has had a very interesting career. Unfortunately, it seems he's really more of a luxury than anything else and it's hard to see him carving out any kind of dynasty value. He should really be on waiver wires at this point, especially with both Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel soaking up targets in Washington.

Free-agent WR Noah Brown (Commanders) signed a one-year contract worth up to $4.5 million to return to the Washington Commanders on Thursday, March 13.

From TheHuddle

Free-agent wide receiver Noah Brown (kidney) is re-signing with the Washington Commanders on Thursday on a one-year deal worth up to $4.5 million, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter. Brown, who caught the Hail Mary touchdown pass in the wild win over the Chicago Bears during the 2024 regular season, caught 35 of his 56 targets for 453 yards and one touchdown in 11 regular-season games (nine starts) in his first year in D.C. Unfortunately, the 29-year-old suffered a kidney laceration late in the year and finished the season on Injured Reserve. He should be all healed up for the start of the 2025 season this fall, though, and will give the Commanders additional receiving depth behind top wideouts Terry McLaurin and newcomer Deebo Samuel Sr. While Brown did have a bigger role on offense right before his injury, he'll have a limited fantasy ceiling as the No. 3 as long as both McLaurin and Samuel stay healthy.

The Washington Commanders have placed wide receiver Noah Brown (internal injuries) on the injured reserve and have activated wide receiver Jamison Crowder from the reserve/injured list. Brown had 35 catches for 453 yards and a receiving touchdown this season. Crowder will now provide some depth at the wide receiver position for Washington behind Terry McLaurin, Dyami Brown, and Luke McCaffrey in Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints.

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (kidney) was placed on injured reserve on Saturday, Dec. 14. Also, WR Jamison Crowder (calf) was activated from injured reserve and was removed from the Week 15 injury report and DT Carl Davis and PK Greg Joseph were elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's game.

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (kidney) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 13, and has been ruled out for Week 15.

Fantasy Spin: Brown is expected to miss the rest of the season because of the injury, so fantasy players will need to look for other options. Dyami Brown may see a few more targets for the time being and could be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues.

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (kidney) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 12. DE Clelin Ferrell (knee) and S Quan Martin (shoulder) were limited during practice. WR Jamison Crowder (calf), LB Dante Fowler (groin), PK Zane Gonzalez (foot), CB Noah Igbinoghene (thumb), CB Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) and LB Jordan Magee (elbow) fully participated in practice.

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that wide receiver Noah Brown (ribs) will miss several weeks and potentially the rest of the season after sustaining an internal injury in the Week 13 win over the Tennessee Titans. The Commanders had a bye in Week 14, but Brown's injury is serious enough that he won't be ready to go for the Week 15 contest this Sunday in New Orleans against the Saints. With Brown hurt, the Commanders claimed receiver K.J. Osborn off waivers from the New England Patriots earlier this week. Osborn will give Washington more depth at the position, but Dyami Brown, Olamide Zaccheaus and rookie Luke McCaffrey will get be the ones that will battle for WR2 duties with Brown injured behind Terry McLaurin. Tight end Zach Ertz might actually benefit the most from a target perspective in fantasy.

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (kidney) and DE Clelin Ferrell (knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 11. PK Zane Gonzalez (foot) and S Quan Martin (shoulder) were limited during practice.

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (undisclosed) will likely miss the rest of the regular season after suffering an unspecified internal injury, head coach Dan Quinn said on Wednesday, Dec. 11.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that wide receiver Noah Brown (ribs) is "going to be out for a while." Brown injured his ribs in the Week 13 win over the Tennessee Titans, but apparently the team's Week 14 bye wasn't enough time for him to heal up. The 28-year-old will miss practice on Wednesday and will most likely be ruled out later this week to play this Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. For however long Brown is sidelined, the Commanders will be hoping one of Olamide Zaccheaus, Dyami Brown and rookie Luke McCaffrey will be able to step up behind WR1 Terry McLaurin. None of the three really stand out as a waiver-wire pickup with Brown injured. Tight end Zach Ertz is most likely to be the biggest beneficiary in terms of targets and production with Brown set to miss time. In his first year in D.C., Brown has brought in 35 of his 56 targets for 453 yards and one touchdown in 11 games.

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown ended up with three receptions for 27 yards on four targets in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown (ribs) caught three of his four targets for an underwhelming 27 yards during their Week 13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Brown exited the game in the third quarter with a rib injury and did not return. However, with the Commanders holding a comfortable lead the entire game, Brown did not need to get overly involved in the gameplan. Since Week 8, Brown has only seen four or fewer targets his way in two games and only tallied less than 27 yards on two other occasions. Despite the poor showing, fantasy managers in deeper 3WR formats should continue to hold onto Brown during their Week 14 bye, as he will still operate as the clear No.2 wideout in this high-octane offense. Brown will look to have a bounce-back showing in Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown (rib) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 13 contest against the Tennessee Titans. He has since been taken to the locker room and is officially questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had caught three of four targets for 27 yards through the air. Brown has been the Commanders' de facto No. 2 wide receiver this season, and his absence will lead to additional opportunities for Olamide Zaccheaus, Dyami Brown, and Luke McCaffrey.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (rib) suffered a rib injury during the Week 13 game and is considered questionable to return.

Fantasy Spin: Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation to see if Brown will miss any additional time because of the injury. He sees a handful of targets each game and can be a possible flex option in fantasy leagues when he returns.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown continues to see a consistent target share weekly and could be a viable flex option in 3WR formats this weekend when he faces the Tennessee Titans. Last weekend, Brown brought in six of his ten targets for 71 yards. Since Week 8, Brown has averaged 6.6 targets per game but has struggled with his output, as he has only averaged 3.8 receptions per game. During this span, Brown has also tallied 48.2 yards per game. Brown popped up on the injury report on Thursday with a knee injury but was able to log a full practice and does not carry a designation. Despite facing a tough Titans defense that has allowed the third-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts, fantasy managers should expect Brown to continue to see a similar target share, making him a viable flex option in deeper formats.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 29, and is not on the injury report for Week 13.

Fantasy Spin: Brown has been targeted at least six times in four of the last five games and is coming off a 71-yard performance last week. He can be a possible flex option in most fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 28.

Fantasy Spin: Brown may have suffered the injury during practice, so fantasy players should look for an update in the next day or two. He has posted at least 60 yards in three of his last five games and could be a possible flex option in deeper leagues if he is able to play.
