Report: Terry McLaurin (hammy) likely to miss Week 4
Key Points:
- Terry McLaurin is dealing with a hamstring injury, making him a questionable fantasy option for Week 4 against the Colts in London; managers should consider backup plans.
- McLaurin showed promising chemistry with quarterback Marcus Mariota, including a 30-yard touchdown, but also had a touchdown overturned and a missed scoring opportunity due to an underthrown pass.
- The arrival of Stefon Diggs has impacted McLaurin's target share, with Diggs emerging as a strong No. 2 receiver for the Commanders, potentially limiting McLaurin to WR3 status in some matchups.
- Under new offensive coordinator David Blough, McLaurin will have more route flexibility and is expected to rebound from a disappointing 2025 season, aiming to return to WR2 production if healthy.
- The Commanders are exploring additional receiver options through trades or the draft but have yet to make significant moves beyond acquiring Diggs; they remain focused on revitalizing their passing game.
