Luke McCaffrey - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Hurts shoulder on SNF McCaffrey (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Impact McCaffrey returned the opening kickoff 19 yards but was ruled questionable to return shortly thereafter. Washington's thin at wide receiver in the absence of Terry McLaurin (quadriceps). Chris Moore, Jaylin Lane and Treylon Burks are the healthy alternatives to Deebo Samuel.

Serves as No. 3 wideout in Week 8 McCaffrey recorded three receptions for 24 yards on three targets in Monday's 28-7 loss to the Chiefs. He also returned one kickoff for 37 yards.

Impact Though Deebo Samuel (heel) and Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) returned from one- and four-game absences, respectively, McCaffrey actually saw his playing time pick up Monday. He had seen his snap shares hover between 30 and 45 percent over the previous three weeks, but McCaffrey ended up playing 27 of 53 offensive snaps (51 percent) against Kansas City, placing him second among Washington wideouts behind only Samuel. McLaurin's playing time was suppressed after he appeared to aggravate his quad injury during the second half, so if he's unable to play in Sunday's game against the Seahawks, the Commanders could once again look to McCaffrey to handle an expanded role at receiver.

Held without a catch in Week 7 loss McCaffrey failed to secure either of his two targets during Washington's 44-22 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday. He did field eight kickoff returns, racking up a total of 209 return y...

Impact McCaffrey wasn't able to take advantage of absences from all of Terry McLaurin (quadriceps), Noah Brown (groin/knee) and Deebo Samuel (heel) versus Dallas, though the departure of quarterback Jayden Daniels (hamstring) early in the second half didn't help matters. He had scored in three of four contest leading up to the Week 7 loss, but versus the Cowboys all of rookie fourth-rounder Jaylin Lane, veterans Chris Moore and while Robbie Chosen, and tight end Zach Ertz finished with more targets and yardage than McCaffrey, That will make him difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a tough primetime matchup against the Chiefs on Monday, Oct. 27 in Week 8, especially if Daniels is unable to go and Marcus Mariota draws the start at QB.

On tap for more targets Week 7 McCaffrey is slated to serve as the Commanders' top wide receiver for Sunday's NFC East tilt against the Cowboys due to the absences of Terry McLaurin (quadriceps), Noah Brown (gro...

Impact McLaurin will miss a fourth straight game while working through a quadriceps injury, Brown was placed on injured reserve Wednesday and Samuel was officially ruled out Saturday due to a lingering heel issue. That leaves the Commanders with three healthy wide receivers on the active roster in McCaffrey, rookie fourth-rounder Jaylin Lane and veteran Chris Moore while Robbie Chosen, Ja'Corey Brooks, Jacoby Jones and Treylon Burks are options to be elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's contest. McCaffrey hasn't seen more than three targets in each of the first six games of the regular season. However, he has caught three touchdown passes over his last four games, and the 2024 third-rounder should see more targets from Jayden Daniels against a Dallas secondary that will be without starting cornerback Trevon Diggs (concussion).

Luke McCaffrey just made a case the Commanders can't ignore in Week 6 He cannot do anything more.

OCTOBER 14, 2025 • RIGGOSRAG.COM

Gets into end zone Monday McCaffrey brought in his only target for a 33-yard touchdown and returned four kickoffs for 127 yards in the Commanders' 25-24 loss to the Bears on Monday night.

Impact McCaffrey got wide open down the left side of the field in the third quarter for his touchdown, erasing a 16-10 deficit in the process. The second-year wideout also had a splash play on his only catch in Week 5 against the Chargers, with that play going for a season-high 50 yards. Despite his obvious big-play potential, McCaffrey has notably seen only three targets over the last two games with both Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin, knee) missing from those contests, keeping his fantasy value limited to deep leagues and large-field DFS tournaments in a Week 7 road matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday.

Catches deep shot in Week 5 McCaffrey caught one of two targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Chargers.

Impact The second-year wideout from Rice was electric in Sunday's win, recording a 50-yard completion over the middle of the field to set up a game-tying field goal at the end of the second quarter. Additionally, McCaffrey returned three kicks for 92 yards and has now accumulated 377 kick-return yards through Washington's first five games this season. He played 22 offensive snaps and operated as the Commanders' No. 3 wideout with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin/knee) both sidelined in Week 5. McCaffrey will likely play another depth role in the wide receiver corps and continue returning kicks in the Week 6 matchup against the Bears.

Commanders are still waiting for Daniels and McLaurin to return and need to fix their defense

Missing the injured Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin is hardly ideal for the Washington Commanders’ offense, yet the most glaring issue at the moment is their defense

SEPTEMBER 29, 2025 • Associated Press

Impressive all-purpose effort McCaffrey caught two of three targets for 21 yards and a touchdown and added 199 yards on six kickoff returns in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Falcons.

Impact The second-year wideout found the end zone for a second straight week, snagging a five-yard TD from Marcus Mariota in the second quarter to get the Commanders on the board. McCaffrey has seen only six targets over the last two weeks, but he's turned them into a 5-77-2 line, and he's becoming a special-teams weapon with the new kickoff rules. With Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) likely to remain on the shelf and Noah Brown (groin) having missed the last two games, McCaffrey could find his role in the offense increasing in Week 5 against the Chargers, especially if Jayden Daniels (knee) returns to elevate the entire passing game.
