Who Should Start at WR3 for the Washington Football Team?

When it comes to the Washington Football Team’s wide receiver room, there is a wealth of young guys who are ready to prove themselves as contributing members to this team. They also are looking to prove that they belong in the NFL as a whole.

The WR1 and WR2 positions are a lock for the Washington Football Team this upcoming NFL season. Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel will be taking those off the bat.

However, the WR3 position seems to be wide-open. So, what does that mean? As said before, Washington has a wide receiver room full of guys ready to go prove themselves.

Who Should Start at WR3 for the Washington Football Team?

The Washington Football Team has a quick slot addition in Adam Humphries from the Titans, Dyami Brown drafted out of UNC, and Kelvin Harmon who is coming off a torn ACL in training camp of 2020.

Cam Sims a.k.a. Big Silk showed flashes last year as to how dominant he can be including a three reception, 110-yard performance against the then 10-0 Pittsburgh Steelers. Antonio Gandy-Golden who didn’t make an impact last year but is showing out so far during training this off-season, and the list goes on.

I don’t believe Steven Sims Jr., Tony Brown, and Dax Milne will make the active 53-man roster at the beginning of the season, but I see them contributing more on the practice squad or contributing to another team in the NFL.

One guy I’m not so sure about is Isaiah Wright because while he does have the talent to add solid depth in the wide receiver room, I don’t really know how he compares to the other wide receivers on the depth chart. Then again, it is only June and there’s plenty of football left to be played before Week 1.

When looking at the wide receiver room in Washington and specifically for the WR3 position, I see two very clear candidates for the job: Dyami Brown and Adam Humphries.

Dyami offers versatility as a deep-threat, a physical blocker, and a short-gain threat. Not to mention at UNC he was a touted vertical threat who was fearless when going towards the middle of the field. The Draft Network put together a fantastic draft profile on this guy as well as many others.

When looking at Adam Humphries, he adds another gear in the District of Speed primarily, and most likely only, as a slot receiver. He can make an impact in the deeper areas of the field, but I think Washington will keep him as a short-gain receiver due to the deep threats they have in Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel.

With all of this being said, I believe the WR3 position will be based on what the offense is looking for. If they need quick yards, Adam Humphries will most likely be that guy in the slot. If it is size they are looking for, someone who is physical and can hold his own in the middle of the field, Dyami Brown offers both of those attributes and can get the job done.

What about the other guys though? Like I said before, there’s a whole lot of football left to be played before Week 1 against the Chargers. Kelvin Harmon, Antonio Gandy-Golden, and Cam Sims have a lot of potential still left to tap into.

Sims did more than what was expected of him last year, Gandy-Golden offers his 6-foot-4. 225-pound frame who I believe will be able to get some touches this season, and Harmon, who is coming off of that ACL injury in 2020, offers his size and strength like Sims and Gandy-Golden.

I believe this wide receiver room has a lot of potential this season and truthfully I think some people are sleeping on our wide receiver depth more than they should. As long as injuries do not plague the room, this should be a very fun season in the Washington Football Team wide receiver room.
