    Is Dyami Brown Playing vs. the Lions?

    Brown was not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

    We’ll continue to monitor the Commanders’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.

    Should You Start or Sit Dyami Brown in the Divisional Round?

    Brown proved to be a cheat code last round, and now he’s in a spot as a significant underdog on a fast track.

    For me, this isn’t the right way to build a roster.

    Chasing the points from last week will be something more than a few people do this weekend due to recency bias and the desire to roster the big-name star players as a result of the salary savings.

    Brown’s snap shares, 2024:

    • Weeks 13-18: 61.1%
    • Weeks 6-12: 32.5%

    The playing time is encouraging, and the door is open for the secondary role in this offense next to Terry McLaurin, so there is a case to be made if you want to talk yourself into it.

    It’s not for me. Even in this strong performance (89 yards and a touchdown), Brown was targeted once on 12 first-half routes. He overachieved at concerningly high levels — he caught 100% of his targets (all other Commanders: 63.3%) and made the most of 8.9 expected points. During Weeks 13-18, he averaged 6.7 PPG with a 7.6 expected number.

    I’d rather go down the depth chart in Buffalo when it comes to receivers or roll the dice on John Metchie III’s growing role in Houston than bet on Brown paying off at an ownership percentage that I expect to be too high.

    PFN Insight on the Eagles' Defense

    With Jalen Hurts MIA for the second straight week, the Philadelphia Eagles held on against the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round thanks to the disruptive playmaking of their defense.

    Philly generated its fourth-highest sack rate in 2024 thanks to an uncharacteristically blitz-heavy game plan. The Eagles blitzed 22% of Matthew Stafford's dropbacks, their fifth-highest rate all season. It worked spectacularly, as they generated two sacks and five pressures when blitzing the Rams, along with a 46% pressure rate.

    There isn't a single statistical flaw in Philadelphia's defense, which ranks top 10 in every metric that encompasses the Defense+ grades (except for sack rate, where they're 15th). That makes them favorites to win the NFC Championship Game, even with how spectacular Jayden Daniels has been as the presumptive Offensive Rookie of the Year.

    Commanders at Eagles Trends and Insights

    Washington Commanders

    Team: The Commanders won 23.5% of their games last season – the fourth-worst win percentage for a team that took part in a Conference Championship the following season.

    QB: Jayden Daniels became the first player in NFL history with 15 rushes and 20 completions in a postseason game where he averaged 9.5 yards per pass.

    QB: Daniels became the first player in NFL history with two touchdowns and 12 rush attempts without an interception in consecutive games.

    Offense: Including the playoffs, there have been 15 instances in which a team starting a rookie QB score 34 points this season – the Commanders have accounted for seven of them.

    Defense: How impactful has the offense been in Washington? They’ve now allowed over 2.5 points per drive nine times this season – they’ve won seven of those contests. It should be noted that their six worst point-per-drive defensive showings have all come on the road.

    Fantasy: Brian Robinson ran for 77 yards and two scores on 15 carries against the Lions on Saturday night. In his previous four games, he ran for 110 yards and zero scores on 38 carries.

    Betting: Do you think we'll see points in this game? Washington has covered each of the past four games that have gone over the total.

    Philadelphia Eagles

    Team: The Eagles lost two games in September and have lost one game since (at Washington, Week 16). In that loss, Philadelphia became the first team to score 21 points in the first quarter in a losing effort since the 2019 Texans (Divisional Round at Chiefs).

    QB: Jalen Hurts is averaging 6.3 yards per pass in the postseason, down from 8.0 during the regular season.

    Offense: Saquon Barkley has more rushing yards in touchdowns against the Rams this season (282) than any other player has for the season as a whole.

    Defense: The Eagles have forced a turnover in 11 of their past 13 games (this coming on a streak of three turnover-less games in Weeks 6-8), including multiple in four of their past five games.

    Fantasy: Hurts’ 44-yard TD on Sunday was the fourth longest by a QB inthe  postseason, and he has now run for 29+ yards in 11 straight games (T-9th longest streak by a QB, the second longest streak of his career)

    Betting: Since Week 10, overs are 2-0 when the Eagles play the Rams and 2-7 when Philadelphia plays any other team.
