Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Team's leading receiver in return
Rotowire
McLaurin (hamstring) caught all four of his targets for 62 yards and also caught a two-point conversion in Sunday's 27-27 tie against the Giants.
McLaurin led the Commanders in receiving yards in his return from a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury, while it was fellow veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs' turn to sit out with an injured hamstring. McLaurin's two-point conversion put the Commanders up 27-13 with 11:05 remaining in the fourth quarter, but the Giants scored 14 unanswered points to close out regulation and neither team got on the board in a back-and-forth overtime session that included a missed field goal and fumble from New York and clock mismanagement down the stretch from Washington. Next up for McLaurin and the Commanders is a Week 6 road game against the 49ers on Monday Night Football.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Good to go Week 5
Rotowire
McLaurin (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
The 31-year-old was unavailable Week 4 versus Indianapolis due to the hamstring injury, but he's active for Sunday's contest after being listed a game-time decision. According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, McLaurin is likely to have some workload restrictions in his first game back from the injury, so a limited snap share should be expected. Quarterback Jayden Daniels is making his return to action after missing the previous two contests due to a dislocated left elbow.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Likely to have restrictions Sunday
Rotowire
McLaurin (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, will be active but is expected to face some restrictions with his workload, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Considered a game-time call leading up to Sunday, McLaurin looks like he'll be able to give it a go, but the Commanders could be conservative with his snap count amid rainy conditions in Washington. McLaurin previously sat out the Commanders' Week 4 loss to the Colts in London due to the injury, then managed just one limited practice during Week 5 prep. Even though he looks like he'll be operating with some restrictions, McLaurin's availability in any capacity should be a boon for a Washington squad that will be without one of its other starting receivers in Stefon Diggs (hamstring).

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Trending toward playing Sunday
Rotowire
McLaurin (hamstring) remains a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Giants, with a "slight lean" toward him playing, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
After missing last Sunday's contest against the Colts with the hamstring issue, McLaurin is trying to push to play Week 5. If he's able to suit up, Washington would get back its top wide receiver, which would be welcomed news after Stefon Diggs suffered a hamstring injury of his own this past week and has been ruled out against New York.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Seemingly game-time decision for Week 5
Rotowire
McLaurin (hamstring), who is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, will be a game-time decision, as Jeremy Fowler of ESPN highlighted Friday in a Week 5 injury update on SportsCenter.
McLaurin returned to a limited practice Friday, and he was given a tag of questionable heading into the weekend. The star wideout didn't play last Sunday against Indianapolis in London, but Fowler relays that the Commanders "are hoping to have" him available in Week 5. Stefon Diggs (hamstring) has already been ruled for Sunday, so getting McLaurin back on the field would be a big boost to Washington's passing game, which is slated to be led by Jayden Daniels for the first time since Week 2.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Questionable for Week 5
Rotowire
McLaurin (hamstring) was limited at Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
McLaurin was a late addition to Washington's Week 4 injury report due to a hamstring issue and ended up being inactive this past Sunday versus the Colts in London. While he "pushed to play," as head coach Dan Quinn told Tashan Reed of The Washington Post afterward, McLaurin wasn't able to practice in any capacity before his return to drills Friday. At that point, Quinn relayed to Selby that McLaurin "looked good," but the veteran wide receiver's status won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If McLaurin is able to suit up, he likely will operate as the No. 1 WR for QB Jayden Daniels with position mate Stefon Diggs (hamstring) ruled out.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Trending upward for Week 5
Rotowire
Head coach Dan Quinn said McLaurin (hamstring) looked good in his return to practice Friday, but his status remains in question for Sunday's game against the Giants, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
After missing last Sunday's game and logging practice absences Wednesday and Thursday, McLaurin appears to have a chance to return for a divisional bout with New York. Washington will make an official injury designation for McLaurin later Friday. The Commanders could really use their No. 1 receiver after Stefon Diggs was ruled out for Week 5 with a hamstring injury of his own. Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks and Dyami Brown will all be in line for increased roles on offense Sunday.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Present for practice Friday
Rotowire
McLaurin (hamstring) was present for Friday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.
While McLaurin was in attendance Friday, it's unclear if he's actually participating in practice after logging DNPs Wednesday and Thursday. He's yet to practice since injuring his hamstring in practice last Friday, causing him to miss last Sunday's loss to the Colts. If McLaurin is unable to face the Giants on Sunday, Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks and Dyami Brown would again be in line for increased snaps and targets.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: DNP on Thursday
Rotowire
McLaurin (hamstring) officially didn't practice Thursday.
McLaurin thus has just one more opportunity to mix into drills this week before the Commanders potentially make a call on his status ahead of Sunday's game versus the Giants. Both he and Stefon Diggs (hamstring) haven't practiced so far this week, meaning Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks, Dyami Brown and Luke McCaffrey are the current healthy wide receivers on Washington's active roster.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Not spotted Thursday
Rotowire
McLaurin (hamstring) wasn't present for warmups Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.
McLaurin is set for a second consecutive practice absence due to the hamstring injury he suffered ahead of the Commanders' Week 4 loss to the Colts in London, which he sat out. Stefon Diggs also missed practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, but Diggs was back on the practice field Thursday, per Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Wednesday activity TBD
Rotowire
Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that the Commanders continue to assess what McLaurin (hamstring) may be able to do at Wednesday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Washington added McLaurin to its Week 4 practice report Friday as limited due to a hamstring issue, which ultimately sidelined him for Sunday's loss to the Colts in London. Quinn said afterward that McLaurin "pushed to play" in that contest, but the team ended up exercising caution with the wide receiver, per Tashan Reed of The Washington Post. McLaurin thus seems to be the "day-to-day" category with his health concern, and Wednesday's injury report will unveil how much work, if any, he's able to handle.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: 'Pushed to play' before being inactive
Rotowire
Head coach Dan Quinn said McLaurin (hamstring) "pushed to play" before being deemed inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts in London, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.
The Commanders added McLaurin to their Week 4 injury report Friday due to a hamstring issue that left him questionable ahead of Sunday's contest. On Saturday, Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C. reported McLaurin was trending toward an absence, and indeed he was among the team's inactives Sunday. Considering Quinn's comments, McLaurin seemingly has a decent chance to return next Sunday versus the Giants.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Sitting out London game
Rotowire
McLaurin (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts in London.
McLaurin was added to the Week 4 injury report Friday, taking a questionable tag into the weekend after the hamstring issue resulted in him being limited in the Commanders' final practice. Though the Commanders were initially hopeful that the wideout would be able to play through the injury Sunday, the team ultimately erred on the side of caution and opted to hold McLaurin out for the first time all season. With McLaurin sidelined, the Commanders will be left with Stefon Diggs, Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks and Dyami Brown as their main options at receiver.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Likely to miss Sunday's game
Rotowire
McLaurin (hamstring) is now likely to miss Sunday's game against the Colts in London, Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C. reports.
McLaurin popped up on Friday's injury report due to a hamstring injury, which drew him the questionable tag for Sunday's game. The injury appears severe enough for the veteran wide receiver to be doubtful for Week 4, and if he's in fact ruled out, then Stefon Diggs and Antonio Williams would serve as the Commanders' top wide receivers, with Dyami Brown and Treylon Burks also in the mix for more targets from quarterback Marcus Mariota.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Added to injury report as questionable
Rotowire
McLaurin (hamstring) was added to the injury report Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
McLaurin appears to have injured his hamstring in Friday's practice, which is rarely a good sign for a player's availability Sunday. If McLaurin is unable to go against the Colts, Stefon Diggs, Dyami Brown and rookie Antonio Williams would be in line to absorb most of the wideout work for the Commanders. With this game kicking off early Sunday morning in London, fantasy managers will have options to pivot off McLaurin should he be deemed inactive.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: WRs to Start
Rotowire
McLaurin had his best game of the season in Week 3 against Seattle with six catches for 77 yards and a touchdown on nine targets, and he scored 19.7 PPR points. He has now played six games with Marcus Mariota, going back to last season, and McLaurin has scored at least 14.4 PPR points in four of those outings. Mariota is expected to start again in Week 4 against the Colts in London with Jayden Daniels (elbow) hurt, and Indianapolis has already allowed four receivers (Zay Flowers, Xavier Worthy, Tyquan Thornton and Rashee Rice) to score at least 12.3 PPR points this season. Stefon Diggs, who has two games this season with at least 15.5 PPR points, is worth starting in all three-receiver leagues, and I like McLaurin as a starter in all formats.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Finally finds end zone Sunday
Rotowire
McLaurin caught six of nine targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-31 win over the Seahawks.
After two frustrating games to begin the season that saw multiple near misses in the end zone, McLaurin finally broke out with Marcus Mariota under center instead of Jayden Daniels (elbow), hauling in a 30-yard strike in the third quarter of Sunday's upset. McLaurin led the Commanders in catches, targets and receiving yards in the win, and he'll take a 10-141-1 line on 22 targets into a Week 4 home tilt against the Colts.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
McLaurin is struggling to start the season with a combined 10.4 PPR points in two games against the Eagles and Cowboys. He has four catches for 64 yards and no touchdowns on 13 targets over that span, and Washington just lost quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) for the foreseeable future. Now, the good news is McLaurin played well with Marcus Mariota in 2025. In five games together, McLaurin scored at least 14.4 PPR points in three of those outings and averaged 14.3 PPR points over that span. But the bad news for Week 3 is McLaurin has to face Seattle. I would only start him in three-receiver leagues, and I'd rather start Stefon Diggs over Washington's other receivers. Diggs has scored at least 15.5 PPR points in each of his first two games, with nine catches for 102 yards and three touchdowns on 15 targets.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Two catches in Week 2 loss
Rotowire
McLaurin brought in two of nine targets for 50 yards in the Commanders' 37-20 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.
The veteran receiver led the Commanders in receiving yards and targets, but his efficiency left plenty to be desired. McLaurin's day would have also looked a lot different if he'd been able to keep his balance on an early fourth-quarter deep pass from Marcus Mariota on which the veteran receiver was running wide open down the right sideline. The elbow injury suffered by Jayden Daniels on the last play of the first half also didn't help McLaurin's cause, and it's possible an extended absence on the part of the star signal-caller affects the wideout's performance in coming weeks.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Held in check during Week 1 loss
Rotowire
McLaurin caught two of four targets for 14 yards against Philadelphia in a loss Sunday.
McLaurin surprisingly took a back seat to third-round rookie Antonio Williams (4-61-1) and veteran Stefon Diggs (4-55-1) in the season opener. McLaurin had as many targets (four) as Williams but logged less than half as many as Diggs' nine. It's expected that McLaurin will serve as the Commanders' No. 1 wideout again this year, but with Diggs and Williams both new to the receiving corps, it remains to be seen how QB Jayden Daniels will adjust his distribution of targets. McLaurin will look for a more robust line in Week 2, when Washington will face the Cowboys, who gave up the most passing yards in the league last year.
