The Washington Football Team will be without WRs Dyami Brown (knee) and Cam Sims (hamstring) according to Nicki Jhabvali of The Washington Post. RB Antonio Gibson (stress fracture in shin) and WR Curtis Samuel (groin) are questionable.

That is a lot of wide receiver depth in question behind Terry McLaurin. Samuel did not play well in his first action of the season Week 4 and may have lingering issues with the groin injury that landed him on IR.

If Gibson would to miss the game, Jaret Patterson would see a boost and J.D. McKissic would carry the ball more than normal.

WFT WR Curtis Samuel will be placed on IR later today according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Samuel has been battling a groin injury.

A brutal start to Samuel's time in the nation's capital. In the interim look for Dyami Brown, Cam Sims, and Adam Humphries to see increased snaps.

WFT WR Terry McLaurin told reporters Wednesday that rookie wideouts Dyami Brown and Dax Milne do not play like rookies. "They’re like silent assassins," said McLaurin. "They don’t say much, but they do their job."

Sometimes it is best to keep your head down, mouth shut, and work. That appears to have helped Brown and Milne establish themselves in Washington. Brown is in line for a snap boost Week 1 if Curtis Samuel (groin) is out, while Milne is a dynasty stash and deep waiver wire watch in redraft leagues.

Washington Football Team WR Curtis Samuel did not practice Wednesday according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. Samuel tried to run and stretch but ended up leaving the practice field.

The free agent signing is in danger of missing Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers and ceding work to rookie Dyami Brown and fellow free agent signee Adam Humphries. Samuel has dealt with injuries the entirety of his NFL career and continues to be a fantasy risk.

Rookie WR Dyami Brown probably won't be a Day 1 starter.

No. 3 WR spot will come down to Adam Humphries or Cam Sims behind Terry McClaurin/Curtis Samuel. Ex-Patriot DeAndre Carter involved as a returner.

One more note: I'm not sensing any major concern over WFT FA addition WR Curtis Samuel, who's on PUP and COVID lists.

Brown has been a name to watch. The tweet said he's making plays, catching on quickly and his speed jumps out. As for Samuel, he's looking to get back on the field, but Kyed reminds us Samuel played in Scott Turner's system in Carolina and should be able to hit the ground running.
