Dyami Brown Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth WR for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR111 last season at 3.5 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's WR127 at 1.4 PPR points per game, against 3.5 over 14 games last season (WR111). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 92nd of 142 in target volume (6.8% target share), 79th of 142 in downfield role (10.6% air-yards share) and 93rd of 142 in efficiency (1.19 yards per route run). Efficiency is the soft spot. Jayden Daniels is his quarterback.
The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Treylon Burks next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.
The next favorable matchups are the Colts in Week 4 (9th against WRs) and the Giants in Week 5 (8th against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Brown's profile keeps screaming complementary deep threat without the volume to matter. His 2025 stint in Jacksonville produced just 37 targets across 11 games (6.8% target share), and the efficiency cratered: a minus-0.056 EPA per play, a 40.5% success rate, and five drops on only 25 catchable balls (a 13.5% drop rate). The 14.0 air yards per target confirm the vertical usage, but he turned that into 20 grabs for 227 yards and one score, finishing as the WR108.
Now back in Washington for a second tour on a one-year, $3 million deal, he projects as a depth piece behind an established receiver room. Even the rosier outside projection (roughly 30-394-3) caps him near 55 fantasy points, and his expert rank sits around WR141 with an ADP outside pick 350. Until an injury opens snaps, there's nothing here to draft. Watch the role, not the talent.
