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 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 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.
