The Commanders re-signed WR Noah Brown to a one-year deal worth "up to" $4.5 million, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Brown had emerged as Washington's No. 2 WR last season before missing the final four games with a lacerated kidney. WR Deebo Samuel's arrival earlier this offseason will likely push Brown down to third on the depth chart.
2025 Fantasy Football Impact
Brown averaged 6.0 targets, 3.3 catches, and 45.0 yards per game over a seven-game stretch from Weeks 6 through 12 last year, ranking 40th among WRs in PPR points.
But with the addition of Samuel and return of TE Zach Ertz, Brown is unlikely to match that level of volume in 2025. He looks like the No. 4 option in a passing game that ranked 25th in attempts last year.
An injury to Samuel or WR Terry McLaurin could get Brown on the fantasy radar. But he won't be worth a pick in most fantasy drafts this summer.
