Zach Brown

NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero is reporting that the Redskins will be parting ways with linebacker Zach Brown Wednesday. Brown will become an unrestricted free agent.

Fantasy Impact

Brown joins defensive lineman Stacy McGee on the Redskins’ chopping block Wednesday morning. The team shopped Brown around and received moderate interest from several teams but were unable to get a deal done. Brown was just one year into a three-year, $24 million deal. The move will clear $5.75 million in cap room.

Zach Brown collected eight solo tackles, one assisted tackle, and one tackle for loss in Washington's Week 7 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.

Brown played well and helped hold Ezekiel Elliott to the worst game of his NFL career.

LB Zach Brown picked up five solo tackles, one assisted tackle, and one tackle for loss in the Washington Redskins' Week 6 win against the Carolina Panthers.

Fantasy Impact

Brown is the 62nd-ranked linebacker to this point. Yuck.

Redskins linebacker Zach Brown recorded six tackles (four solo) in Monday night’s 43-19 loss to Drew Brees and the Saints.

Fantasy Impact

Brown hasn’t quite been the tackling machine he’s been in previous years but he remains an IDP consideration when the Panthers come to town in Week 6.

Redskins linebacker Zach Brown (oblique) is officially active for Sunday’s game versus the Packers.

Fantasy Impact

Brown has been dealing with the oblique injury since the preseason but has not missed a game. He was a limited participant in Thursday and Friday practice after landing a DNP tag on Wednesday. Brown is typically a top-10 LB option in IDP leagues but has been limited by the injury early in the season. He played just 65% of the snaps in Week 1 and then 84% in Week 2. There are better options in Week 3.
