2025 Fantasy Outlook
McLaurin finally got over the hump in 2024, after spending the first five years of his career as an overqualified WR3 for fantasy. All it took was better quarterback play, with an assist from offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. McLaurin's 117 targets last year were actually his fewest since his 2019 rookie season, albeit with his 23.2 percent target share being a three-year high as the Commanders thrived behind a balanced offense. The outlier numbers were his 70.1 percent catch rate (a career high by 5.2 percentage points) and 13 touchdowns (his previous best was seven), with McLaurin riding the wave of Jayden Daniels' incredible rookie season. We'll always have to assume some regression from a player that scored 13 TDs on 82 catches, but it's also fair to say that McLaurin and Daniels are sufficiently talented to remain one of the most efficient QB-WR combos in the league. And while Deebo Samuel offers new competition for Daniels' attention, the former 49er mostly figures to take targets that went to Washington's rotating cast of Nos. 2 and 3 receivers last year. McLaurin will turn 30 in September, but he hasn't missed a game since 2020 and seems to have maintained the 4.35 speed from his standout combine showing back in 2019. He missed all of training camp amid contract negotiations, even demanding a trade at one point, before ultimately signing a three-year extension before the season opener. There may be some rust initially, but McLaurin and Daniels shouldn't take too long to get going. Read Past Outlooks

Quadriceps
October 8, 2025
Commanders coach Dan Quinn said McLaurin (quadriceps) won't practice Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Quinn expressed optimism earlier this week about McLaurin's chances of suiting up Week 6 against the Bears on Monday Night Football, but the veteran wideout isn't yet ready to retake the practice field. McLaurin has missed back-to-back contests without practicing at all in that span. It's possible the team is simply taking a cautious approach to McLaurin's recovery and that he'll have better odds of handling on-field work as Week 6 preparation progresses. On a positive note for Washington, Quinn said Noah Brown (groin/knee) will return to practice Wednesday.

2020
2019
McLaurin remains the clear No. 1 receiver in Washington after Jahan Dotson's second-year breakout in 2023 failed to materialize. The 2022 first-round pick finished south of his rookie-year totals for yards and TDs, while McLaurin (barely) reached 1,000 yards for a fourth straight year. The 28-year-old has been somewhat frustrating despite that measure of consistency, as he's never reached 1,200 yards and hasn't scored more than five TDs since his rookie season. Subpar QB play may be more to blame than McLaurin himself, though a truly dominant No. 1 receiver might earn larger target shares even if the per-target efficiency left something to be desired. Last year, we saw problems in both regards, with McLaurin right around his usual raw number of targets (130) despite playing in an offense that led the league in passes. His 21.5 percent target share was a career low, and if you only include his active games the number has curiously dropped a bit with each passing season, starting from a high-water mark of 26.9 percent in his 2019 rookie campaign. McLaurin also finished 2023 with career lows for yards per catch (12.7) and per target (7.6), and with an 11.4 aDOT not far from his career mark of 12.2. The good news is that there's still a late-breakout argument, thanks to the Commanders bringing in a new coaching staff and drafting QB Jayden Daniels second overall. To the naked eye, McLaurin still looks like the same guy who ran a 4.35 40 at 208 pounds at the 2019 Combine and then put up 919 yards and seven TDs in 14 games as a rookie. Washington might be a tough situation efficiency-wise again, but we'll be fully out of excuses if the target share portion doesn't at least improve.
McLaurin's long-awaited quarterback upgrade now appears dependent on the progress of 2022 fifth-round pick Sam Howell, who is expected to enter camp as Washington's starter after a strong preseason last year and an impressive cameo at the end of the campaign. Despite another year of substandard QB play, McLaurin finished 2022 with a career-high 1,191 yards, perhaps getting an efficiency boost from the emergence of Jahan Dotson and Curtis Samuel as legitimate complementary weapons. That does, of course, give McLaurin a bit more target competition than in the past, and even last year his 120 looks were his fewest since 2019 when he was a rookie. He made up for it with a 64.2 percent catch rate and 9.9 YPT, numbers far beyond the Washington passing game as a whole. McLaurin has the size (6-0, 210), speed (4.35 40) and route-running skills to break out of the 900-1,200-yard range he's been stuck in, but betting on a fifth-round QB to unlock that -- even a promising one like Howell -- is rather risky.
McLaurin and DJ Moore are competing to be the new Allen Robinson, held back by poor QB play and questionable coaching for years on end. In McLaurin's case, instant NFL success was a surprise, as he was neither an early declare nor particularly productive in college (1,251 career receiving yards at OSU). He ended up a third-round pick in 2019, boosted by a 4.35 40 at the combine and a reputation for standout play on special teams. As it turns out, McLaurin hasn't needed those special-teams skills, instead leading Washington in targets, receptions and receiving yards each of his first three seasons. If there's a knock, it's that he hasn't shown much progress since his 919-yard, seven-TD debut campaign, with an uptick in volume offset by a decrease in the frequency of big plays. Part of that is the team asking McLaurin to do more in terms of both overall volume and route-tree diversity, and part of it is the misfortune of catching passes from Case Keenum, Kyle Allen and Taylor Heinicke. There's a chance new Washington QB Carson Wentz will be the best McLaurin has played with, but even Wentz looks like one of the lesser Week 1 starters around the league, and there will be tougher competition for targets if Curtis Samuel stays healthy or rookie Jahan Dotson lives up to his first-round status. But perhaps another year of experience and a modest QB upgrade will give McLaurin enough fuel to shift up a gear.
McLaurin had a modest fantasy season, in large part due to substandard quarterback play and a sluggish offense that netted him only four touchdowns in 15 games. His usage was there — 35.2 percent of his team’s air yards and 23.3 percent of its target volume despite the missed game — but the explosive plays were not (only three catches of 40-plus yards on 134 targets). He finished the year with 12.9 YPC and an average target depth of only 9.3 yards, down from 15.8 YPC and a 14.0 aDOT his rookie season. That’s likely to rebound in 2021, as Ryan Fitzpatrick should be an upgrade for the passing game, and there’s not much doubt about McLaurin’s talent. At 6-0, 210, he has excellent size and strength for a player who ran a 4.35 40 at the 2019 combine. While he’s not quite the freak DK Metcalf is, McLaurin is quicker and more agile than Metcalf and more polished as a route runner. Newly signed Curtis Samuel is another mouth to feed in the Washington passing game, but TE Logan Thomas and RB J.D. McKissic won’t come close to their 220 combined targets from last season unless injuries force OC Scott Turner to put the offense back in a dink-and-dunk shell again. The hope now is that Turner and Fitzpatrick open up the offense for more shots downfield, allowing McLaurin to combine his 2019 deep-ball prowess with his 2020 volume.
It's hard to overstate how impressive McLaurin's debut campaign was. Despite catching passes from an overmatched Dwayne Haskins and a backup-quality Case Keenum, the rookie averaged 15.8 YPC (7th among the league's 40 90-target WR), 9.9 YPT (5th) and scored seven times in only 14 games. At 6-0, 210, McLaurin is stout for his height, and he ran a blistering 4.35 40 at the 2019 combine while showcasing a 37.5-inch vertical and 125-inch broad jump. He's already emerged as one of the NFL's better downfield threats - his average depth of target was 13.8 yards (8th) as he piled up 1,287 air yards on only 93 targets. Washington rarely used McLaurin in the red zone - only 13 targets there all season, and seven from inside the 10 - but that could change soon with new coach Ron Rivera and offensive coordinator Scott Turner taking over. In any event, McLaurin has little competition as the team's top option. Steve Sims and Kelvin Harmon are the highest-ranked returnees on the depth chart, while third- and fourth-round picks Antonio Gibson and Antonio Gandy-Golden, respectively, will also battle for targets. The biggest factor for 2020 will be Haskins' development. He was terrible for his first seven games last year, but played better in his final two. Haskins doesn't need to be great for a receiver of McLaurin's talents to thrive, but he'll have to sustain a base level of competence.
Taken with the 76th pick of the draft, McLaurin has a chance to make an impact right away. With only the disappointing Josh Doctson (whom the team declined to extend to a fifth year) and the injury-prone and still recovering Paul Richardson ahead of him on the depth chart, McLaurin could lead the team in targets as a rookie. At 6-0, 205, McLaurin has just average size, but he ran a blistering 4.35 40 at the combine, along with a 37.5-inch vertical and solid 125-inch broad jump. McLaurin saw only 43 targets at Ohio State last year, but scored 11 times, and has the advantage of having played with (and being the current roommate of) the team's first-round quarterback Dwayne Haskins. The rookie will battle with Case Keenum for the quarterback job initially, but even if Keenum were to win out, there's a good chance Haskins would take over before long.

McLaurin will not play in Sunday's game against the Chargers due to his quadriceps injury, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
McLaurin already sat out the Week 4 loss to the Falcons, and because the Commanders were flying out to Los Angeles on Thursday night ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, they were able to definitively rule the veteran wide receiver out since he didn't make the trip. McLaurin was able to work on a side field with trainers Thursday and run some sprints at three-quarter speed, indicating he may have a chance at playing Week 6 against the Bears.
