WR Dyami Brown, JAX (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter IHEARTFF
- Start date
I suspect he is more than that, but obviously that is TBD in an NFL game. If he is more, you won't be able to obtain him cheaply.

That's a pretty good trick to have with Fitzpatrick at the wheel. He seems to have a pretty good head on his shoulders, so I think there's potential to be a complete WR even if it's a lot of field stretching early. I might be wrong, but it seems like McLaurin was pigeonholed as that type of WR coming out, not that I'm banking on anything approaching that.
If he reels in a couple of bombs and gets someone hot and bothered in my league, I might be willing to sell for a large profit on my 5.12 investment.
Exactly. I wanted Miami to draft him. Chris Simms has him as his #3 WR in the draft, high praise from someone who's been good at rating WRs. He had a nice back shoulder catch in the preseason. How much playing time will he get with Samuel out for 3 or more weeks?

LOL, no.

Aside from an injured Campbell, that's a pretty good list compared with draft position. And he called Claypool a freak of nature and 1st round talent. Hollywood Brown doesn't belong.
A.J. Brown is the only thing that really jumps out at me here…I mean, yeah, Campbell and DeeBo that high look bad now, but that’s mostly due to injuries. Real easy for us to pick it apart now.

At least he faded Harry. Bill Belichick didn't. Campbell and Hollywood's issues haven't been a lack of talent.
He missed at a 60% rate each year! 3 each in 2019 and 2020, that's a horrendous percentage for someone given the accolade as being "good at rating WRs". That's atrocious for someone with his level of access and knowledge.
He's already ####ed himself by putting Toney in the 2021 top five. I expect Brown and probably both of Waddle and Smith to be misses as well. And Chase is playing like he's afraid, but he should be alright.

I was thrilled to get him at the 5.12 in Dynasty but cut bait only 3 weeks into his rookie season. Luxury bench stash I couldn't afford on a win-now team that had DSTs and backup RBs options available on waivers that were far more likely to help me win this year. He could very well come back to burn me down the road.
It's an impulsive way to manage your dynasty team, but for me if was hard to justify a bench stash for a mid-round WR. In particular, it's hard to unknow that he immediately fell into an opportunity that some WRs of greater talent in their 2nd or 3rd year can only dream about, and that he was unable to seize the moment, even though his inexperience as a rookie is clearly worthy of a pass. If he gets healthy and finds a similar opportunity later in the season with Fitzpatrick back under center, I will try to get him on board for another shot. Not sure how likely it is that everything aligns this season though.

I'm gonna be in the way minority here ... probably standing alone really ... when I say I could see Brown taking Dotson's WR2 spot at some point this year I've been anti-Dotson since we made the pick two years ago. And he's done nothing to make me change my mind. I have always thought Dotson needs to move to the slot so he can use motion to get open easier.

Where do you envision McCaffrey in the offense?

actually, if you google Dotson right now you’ll find a couple interesting reads floating the top of results from today.
One talks about the preseason usage and quotes coach saying Brown is their WR2.
One suggests they may deal Dotson, based on the preseason usage.
A 3rd (from yesterday) indicates that Dotson may be their starting slot receiver, which is what folks thought McCaffery would be.
So not really in the minority if the team is coming out saying it, but it’s still very early in the preseason. Personally I’m hoping for either slot usage or a trade. Kingsbury’s slot receivers are pretty consistent.

Dotson is a fine pro-caliber WR. He's a better slot than an outside guy. It's his natural NFL position. There is no legitimate football reason to be anti-Dotson, but everyone is entitled to their opinion, of course.
If everything goes according to plan, Dotson is going to be their #1 slot guy, with McLaurin/Dyami on the outside. In the Kingsbury scheme, he can be very successful.
This is more to get Dotson in the slot, which is his natural position, where he can succeed, more than Brown beating him out for the outside position.
Brown isn't anything special, but he's better than anyone else they currently have to play outside opposite McLaurin. That may change. Keep an eye on Mitchell Tinsley.
Dotson is currently a better NFL slot WR than McCaffrey. McCaffrey is a project. If he develops into more than that, it's likely going to take a season or two.

I agree with this. Yes I’ve never like Dotson. But that was because of the way Rivera used him. And him being over drafted by Ron. Jahan seems to be a good person and player. He just can’t separate lining up one on one. I see him as the starting slot receiver with McCaffrey being the back up. for this thread means somebody has to take over wr2. It seems Brown would be the one to step into that role, but it’s too early to tell, and still too early to see if they will move Dotson inside.

Commanders HC Dan Quinn said the team is “in the middle of” a search for a WR2.
It’s possible former first-round pick Jahan Dotson will come out on the other side of this competition, but it’s worth noting that Dotson played well into the second quarter of the team’s first preseason game. Quinn chalked that up to the team, exploring all possibilities at the receiver position, but it’s a tough look for the third-year vet. Olamide Zaccheaus, who the team brought in earlier this offseason, is reportedly having a strong camp, and Dyami Brown has also impressed as a deep threat in his first camp sans Ron Rivera. We’ll see how things play out in the Commanders’ second preseason game, which will be played on Saturday against the Dolphins. The starters are expected to see a bit more time on the field as they continue to ramp up for the regular season, making Dotson’s opening snaps worth monitoring.

He cleared the way for Dotson to get traded

And last year he caught 52% of his targets, which -- pathetically -- was by far a high mark in his career so far. But hey, years change things, and he hasn't had a massive sample size yet. (Except he does have a large sample size in games played as you said.)

If I was a DC facing the Redskins, I would love to double Terry and make this guy beat me on the outside. If you think throwing the ball to Dynami 6-10 times a game helps you win the ballgame, then I will let you do that as often as you'd like. I think Luke McCaffrey is the WR2 for Washington. Don't bet against these football families.

He looked worth that money in playoffs, but I agree, UNTIL that run he was NOT worth that. But I think the measurables and talent has always been there. Kid is super fast and he made some very good/difficult catches late last year. He will also never see a starting CB on him with Thomas and Hunter so I can see him carving out a very nice roll in that offense. He's one of my favorite late round sleepers this year.

Gabe Davis looked great that 1 game vs KC got paid by Jacksonville and got released

I don't like the price either, but that's just what WRs cost now. Regardless, he's a pure perimeter player who will likely be running posts, corners, and fades to clear out and stretch the secondary. Nothingburger for fantasy, or likely at best a volatile scorer dependent on grabbing that one busted coverage catch a game for 60+ yards and a TD. But very important role for an offense in the real NFL, especially all the two high safety stuff. This is good news for BTJ and Hunter, basically a non threat addition to the offense that should open up stuff underneath for them and help with YAC.
