The Washington Commanders will face the New Orleans Saints in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Noah Brown.
Is Noah Brown Playing in Week 15?
It’s bad news for Brown, who is dealing with a serious internal injury. Head coach Dan Quinn said the wide receiver will be out “a while.” He was listed on the practice report with a kidney issue and obviously did not practice.
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.
Noah Brown’s Fantasy Outlook
Brown is as capable as anyone not named Terry McLaurin on Washington’s roster of making plays downfield, which is why I’m keeping him stashed.
But rostering and starting are two very different things. The Saints allow the second-lowest deep-completion percentage and the fourth-lowest touchdown rate on those passes.
Brown’s 12.2-yard career aDOT (multiple deep targets in four of his past six games) opens the door for spike weeks in the right spots. I’m not losing track of him (Week 17 vs. Falcons, the seventh-worst yards-per-attempt-deep-pass defense), but I’m not giving him a second look in the scope of Week 15.
