Commanders' Noah Brown: Solid performance against Giants
Noah Brown recorded five receptions on six targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Giants.Brown maintained a significant role in the Washington Commanders' offense and has now earned at least six targets in three of his last four games. While he didn't replicate his heroics from Week 8, Brown did manage lengthy receptions of 31 and 16 yards to account for the majority of his production. Notably, he appears to be preferred as the second receiver option behind Terry McLaurin, surpassing Olamide Zaccheaus for the time being.

Commanders' Noah Brown: Catches Hail Mary
Noah Brown caught three of six targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in an 18-15 win over the Bears on Sunday.Brown had a quiet afternoon until he caught a tipped pass for a 52-yard, game-winning TD on the final snap of the game, but there were some positive signs even before the miraculous play, namely season highs for snap share (82 percent) and route share (85 percent). He's been targeted on 21 percent of his routes this season while typically operating as Washington's No. 2 receiver, only with Olamide Zaccheaus and/or Dyami Brown poaching a bunch of routes and snaps each week. If the added playing time wasn't just a one-week blip, Brown could emerge as a low-end fantasy starter in the second half of the season, starting with a Week 9 road game against the Giants.

Commanders' Noah Brown: Targeted once in win
Noah Brown caught his only target for 16 yards in Sunday's 40-7 win over the Panthers.Brown's one target and one catch in Week 7 were both season lows in the five games he's played so far in 2024. The 28-year-old wideout played the second-most snaps (42) in the contest among Washington Commanders receivers, just behind Terry McLaurin (49). Brown has continued to see his role grow throughout the early part of the season, and it's possible that he could gain some fantasy appeal if he can make the most of his opportunities in Washington's passing attack. Brown might have difficulty taking a meaningful step forward in Week 8, however, as the Commanders could be without rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels (ribs) when they square off against the Bears.

Commanders' Noah Brown: Upgrades to full practice
Noah Brown (groin) was a full practice participant Thursday.Brown missed Week 5 with the groin injury but then returned for Sunday's 30-23 loss to Baltimore and caught four of his team-high eight targets for 58 yards. He handled 66 percent snap share and 66 percent route share -- right around his season norms, and a good estimate of what to expect this Sunday against Carolina. Brown has caught either three or four passes in each of his four appearances for Washington, but last week was his first time drawing more than four targets in a game.

Commanders' Noah Brown: Still limited by groin injury
Noah Brown (groin) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.Brown continues to operate with a cap on his practice reps due to the groin injury that sidelined him Week 5, but the issue didn't stop him from suiting up this past Sunday in Baltimore, where he gathered in four of eight targets for 58 yards. He'll have two more chances to get back to full practice participation this week before the Washington Commanders potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game versus the Panthers.

Commanders' Noah Brown: Draws season-high eight targets
Noah Brown caught four of eight targets for 58 yards in a 30-23 loss at Baltimore on Sunday.Brown returned to his role as the No. 2 receiver after missing Week 5 with a groin injury. His 66.0 percent route share was third best on the team, behind only WR Terry McLaurin (79 percent) and TE Zach Ertz (76 percent), and Brown led the team in both targets and air yards (101). While Brown doesn't get quite as many snaps/routes as a typical starter, he's been targeted at a surprisingly high rate this year, seeing the ball on 25.0 percent of his routes and accounting for 24.0 percent of Washington's air yards in his active games. A favorable Week 7 matchup against the Panthers makes Brown a reasonable lineup option for deep-ish leagues and DFS contests.

Commanders' Noah Brown: Returning to face Baltimore
Noah Brown (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Baltimore, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.Brown emerged as Washington's No. 2 receiver prior to missing Week 5 with a groin injury, catching exactly three passes in each game Weeks 2-4. It's not likely to be a high-volume role, but the Washington Commanders may be inclined to pass more than usual this weekend, facing a tough Baltimore run defense with RB Brian Robinson (knee) in danger of missing the game. Even so, Brown's volume is hard to project due to the possibility of sharing playing time with Olamide Zaccheaus and/or Dyami Brown.

Commanders' Noah Brown: Limited in practice
Noah Brown (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday.Brown has been limited in back-to-back practices after missing Sunday's 34-13 win over Cleveland. An absence this Sunday at Baltimore would give Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus another shot at extra playing time, likely sharing the No. 2 WR role again. Terry McLaurin remains the runaway No. 1 receiver, and Luke McCaffrey's role as the No. 3 has been fairly steady.

Commanders' Noah Brown: Returns to practice
Noah Brown (groin) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant.Brown didn't practice last week and ultimately was ruled out ahead of Sunday's 34-13 win over Cleveland. A return to practice at least puts him on the right track to play in Sunday's game at Baltimore, though he might need to put in a full workout Thursday and/or Friday to avoid carrying a designation into the weekend. Brown's absence in Week 5 freed up more playing time for Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus, who essentially shared the No. 2 receiver role.

Commanders' Noah Brown: Ruled out
Noah Brown (groin) will not play Sunday against the Browns, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.Brown has emerged as Washington's No. 2 receiver, giving the offense a second deep/intermediate threat alongside Terry McLaurin. It's not a high-volume role, but Brown's absence for Week 5 does slightly boost the target projections for WRs Luke McCaffrey, Olamide Zaccheaus and Dyami Brown.
