Lands three-year extension
McLaurin agreed Tuesday on a three-year contract extension with the Commanders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The deal includes up to $71 million in new money and a $28 million signing bonus, with Washington's investment placing McLaurin among the NFL's top-five highest-paid wideouts. As a result, the 26-year-old -- whose rookie contract had been slated to expire after the coming season -- is now signed with the team through the 2025 campaign. Through 17 games in 2021, the 2019 third-rounder logged a 77-1,053-5 stat line on 130 targets. He continues to profile as the top option in a wide receiver corps…read more

Coach says no trade happening
Commands head coach Ron Rivera said Wednesday that McLaurin isn't a trade candidate heading into the season, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: McLaurin is skipping mandatory minicamp while he and the Commanders continue to discuss a new extension. Per Ben Standig of The Athletic, Rivera also confirmed that McLaurin will be fined for missing mandatory team activities, but that ongoing negotiations are "not contentious." Of course, it's not uncommon in the NFL for team officials to commit to retaining a player only for a trade to later occur, as happened with A.J. Brown and Titans coach Mike Vrabel earlier this offseason. As a result of…read more

Plans to skip minicamp
McLaurin doesn't intend to report to the Commanders' mandatory minicamp this week, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: According to Pete Hailey of NBC Sports Washington, head coach Ron Rivera said less than a week earlier that he expected McLaurin to be in attendance for minicamp, but the wide receiver instead plans to remain a spectator while he seeks a long-term contract extension. The 26-year-old, who is looking for a deal on par with the four-year, $100 million pact A.J. Brown recently reached with the Eagles, is entering the final year of his rookie deal in 2022 and will miss out on opportunities to take…read more

Expected for mandatory minicamp
Washington head coach Ron Rivera said Wednesday he expects McLaurin to participate in next week's mandatory minicamp, Pete Hailey of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: McLaurin has remained away from voluntary OTAs while attempting to negotiate a new contract with the Commanders. The 2019 third-round pick is entering the final year of his rookie contract, and he's once again facing the task of establishing chemistry with a new quarterback, this time former Eagles and Colts signal-caller Carson Wentz. Thus far in his career, McLaurin has averaged 74 catches for 1,030 yards and 5.3 touchdowns per season. In McLaurin's absence, rookie first-round pick Jahan…read more

Not at OTAs but could sign soon
McLaurin hasn't been participating in offseason activities, but Commanders coach Ron Rivera said Tuesday it's "just a matter of time" before the wideout is back with the team, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: McLaurin was at the team facility at one point in April, with reports suggesting he wouldn't do on-field work until he'd signed a new contract. His absence since then might be interpreted as either a show of frustration or a negotiating tactic, but it's also possible the wideout is simply being cautious with a huge payday on the horizon. McLaurin is entering the fourth and final season of his rookie deal and should command at least $20 million per year on a long-term extension. Assuming he and…read more

Contract talks ongoing
Washington general manager Martin Mayhew said Monday that the organization is in ongoing talks with McLaurin and his agent about a possible contract extension, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: McLaurin currently is with the team, but he isn't participating in any voluntary on-field workouts this offseason. Mandatory minicamp doesn't start until mid-June, so the two sides have some time to figure out a deal, but it's possible the wideout could continue to hold out until an extension is signed. The acquisition of Carson Wentz -- who's owed $28 million in 2022 -- has hindered Washington's moves and likely has been at least part of the reason McLaurin hasn't signed an extension yet.…read more

Joining team but won't practice
McLaurin isn't expected to participate in on-field work this offseason, but he will be at the Commanders' team facility Tuesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: At this point in mid-April, workouts are voluntary and don't include much on-field work, if any. The bigger question will come later this spring when the team has mandatory minicamp (June 14-16) a week after the conclusion of OTAs. McLaurin will take part if he signs an extension before then, while he could opt to hold out if contract discussions are ongoing or stalled. The 2019 third-round pick is entering the fourth and final year of his rookie contract, averaging 74 catches for 1,030 yards…read more

Closes out season strong
McLaurin brought in four of six targets for 93 yards in Washington's 22-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: The speedster easily paced Washington in receptions, receiving yards and targets to finish off the season with a second straight impressive performance. McLaurin generated an 11-154 line over the last two contests, and Sunday's production vaulted him over the 1,000-yard mark (1,053) for the second consecutive season. There's no questioning McLaurin's game-breaking ability, with the spotty quarterback play he's endured thus far in his first three seasons being the only factor seemingly putting a…read more

Volume returns
McLaurin recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: McLaurin earned at least eight targets for the first time since Week 10 and topped five targets for only the second time in his last five games. He didn't turn that into an elite level of production, though he did manage a pair of catches that went for double-digit gains. Despite having a season to forget due to Washington's poor quarterback play, McLaurin needs only 40 yards in a Week 18 matchup against the Giants to reach 1,000 for the campaign.

Held to 40 yards in loss
McLaurin caught three of six targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 56-14 loss to Dallas.
Analysis: McLaurin -- like many Washington position players -- fell victim to the one-sided affair. The 26-year-old was tied for the team lead in targets, signaling that he is still the top dog in the Football Team's wideout rotation. McLaurin's solid fantasy season has come to a screeching halt of late, as he has failed to top 51 yards or score a touchdown over the last five games. The talented receiver is clearly being limited by Washington's recent poor quarterback play, and there is no guarantee that…read more

Team-leading yardage in loss
McLaurin brought in two of four targets for 51 yards in Washington's 27-17 loss to the Eagles on Tuesday night.
Analysis: McLaurin's receiving yardage tally, modest as it was, paced Washington on the night, although nearly all of it came on a 46-yard grab. The speedster's fantasy outlook was dampened with Garrett Gilbert at quarterback for Washington with both Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen in the COVID-19 protocols, but McLaurin's 51 yards also represented his high-water mark over the last four games, sending him into a Week 16 road matchup against the Cowboys in a month-long funk.

No injury designation
McLaurin (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Tuesday's game against the Eagles.
Analysis: McLaurin fully participated in each of Washington's three practice sessions this week, and he'll be able to suit up against the Eagles on Tuesday. The 2019 third-rounder has been held in check across the last three games, as he's hauled in seven of 15 targets for 73 yards during that time.

Practices fully again
McLaurin was a full participant in practice Sunday for the second day in a row, but Washington has yet to officially reveal whether he cleared the five-step concussion protocol, Pete Hailey of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: McLaurin may still need to pass the final step of the protocol -- gaining clearance from an independent neurologist -- before Washington confirms he'll be ready to play Tuesday against the Eagles, after the game was pushed back from Sunday due to the Football Team's COVID-19 outbreak. The consecutive full practices are a promising sign McLaurin will be good to go for the Week 15 contest, but his availability won't be known until Washington releases its final injury report later Sunday.

By bumping up to all activity Saturday, he's reached the final stage on his quest through the protocol for head injuries.

Washington-Eagles moved to Tuesday
McLaurin (concussion) and Washington will no longer play the Eagles on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.
Analysis: Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within Washington's organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, the Football Team will restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. Assuming the game is held Tuesday as expected, McLaurin should be in good shape to play after he made notable progress in his recovery from the concussion by practicing in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday.

Expected to play
Coach Ron Rivera said Friday that he has a "very high" level of optimism that McLaurin (concussion) will play in Sunday's game against the Eagles, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Postreports.
Analysis: J.D. McKissic (concussion), on the other hand, sounds truly questionable, while McLaurin apparently is on track to clear concussion protocol before Sunday's game. It'll be a less-than-ideal setup for receiving production, with Garrett Gilbert plucked off New England's practice squad for a potential Week 15 start after Washington QBs Taylor Heinicke and Garrett Gilbert were placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Bumps up to limited practice reps
Washington listed McLaurin (concussion) as a limited participant in Thursday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While the Washington roster continues to be ravaged by COVID-19-related absences, McLaurin's ability to upgrade from no participation in Wednesday's practice to limited activity Thursday qualifies as some rare good news. McLaurin will still need to receive clearance to take contact and will also need to get the green light from an independent neurologist in order to suit up Sunday in Philadelphia, but the wideout looks to be trending in a positive direction.

McLaurin (concussion) took part in individual drills at Thursday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: One day removed from working with team trainers on a side field, McLaurin appears to have cleared another hurdle in his quest through the protocol for head injuries. However, how much work he was able to handle won't be known until Washington posts its second Week 15 injury report later Thursday.

Analysis: On a positive note, McLaurin worked on the side with team trainers just three days after entering the concussion protocol, according to JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington. McLaurin will have two more opportunities to mix into drills this week, which he'll have to do in at least a limited capacity Thursday or Friday to give himself a chance to play Sunday at Philadelphia.

Analysis: McLaurin was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Cowboys after he sustained a concussion in the third quarter, and he'll have several steps to clear if he hopes to play against the Eagles on Sunday. If he isn't cleared to play, DeAndre Carter, Adam Humphries and Curtis Samuel should see additional work.

McLaurin was upended by Dallas defenders in the process and landed on his back and right shoulder.

Being monitored for head injury
McLaurin is under evaluation for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: McLaurin jumped up high for a deep ball from Taylor Heinicke in the third quarter and got upended in the process, landing hard on his back and right shoulder. While those issues aren't the cause of McLaurin's visit to the blue sideline tent and eventually the locker room, Washington is determining whether a head injury will end his day early. If so, he'll finish Week 14 with no catches on four targets.

Quiet in Sunday's win
McLaurin caught three of five targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 17-15 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: The Washington passing game didn't have much success, particularly the wideouts -- tight end Logan Thomas (knee) led the team in receiving yards, while running back Antonio Gibson led in catches. The performance was the worst of the season for McLaurin, who will look to rebound in Week 14 against the Cowboys.

McLaurin caught four of seven targets for 51 yards in Monday night's 17-15 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: McLaurin led Washington in receiving yards but trailed Antonio Gibson in catches, with the tailback hauling in all seven of his looks. However, with a gain of 20 yards on his team's first offensive play of the second half, McLaurin still accounted for Washington's longest play of the night and helped set up a touchdown on that drive. He'll strive to keep the big plays coming in Week 13 versus the Raiders.

Analysis: McLaurin was excellent, making a number of contested catches, including a 12-yard touchdown to tie the game just prior to halftime. With a long gain of 39 yards, McLaurin topped the 100-yard mark for the fourth time this season, with all five of his touchdowns coming on those occasions as well. Following Sunday's team-leading effort, McLaurin will now turn his attention toward Week 12's matchup versus the Seahawks.

Analysis: McLaurin missed some game action this past Sunday against the Buccaneers with a collarbone injury, which lingered into Week 11 prep. After having his practice reps capped Wednesday, he managed to log all of them one day later, setting himself up to be available Sunday in Carolina. McLaurin will take on a Panthers defense that has allowed just 7.6 yards per target to wide receivers this season (ninth best in the NFL).

The wideout's appearance of the injury report comes as no surprise after he left this past Sunday's win against the Buccaneers for a spell due to what was initially classified as a collarbone injury.

Paces pass catchers in win
McLaurin brought in six of eight targets for 59 yards in Washington's 29-19 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He sustained a collarbone injury in the second quarter but returned to the game shortly thereafter.
Analysis: The third-year speedster's reception, receiving yardage and target totals were all team highs, and his production in the first two categories also qualified as his second best of the last five contests. McLaurin's overall production is undeniably capped to an extent by Taylor Heinicke's limitations under center, but with a locked-in role that's seen him log fewer than seven targets just once all season, he remains a viable option in all formats versus a tough Panthers secondary in Week 11.

Held to 23 yards
McLaurin caught three of seven targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: The yardage was a season low, and it was also first game of the season in which McLaurin had fewer than four catches. Still, he enters a Week 9 bye averaging 5.4 catches for 71.6 yards per game -- down just a sliver from last season -- and has already matched his TD total (four) from 2020. There's also some hope for Ryan Fitzpatrick (hip) to come off injured reserve and provide an upgrade at quarterback, though perhaps not immediately after the bye. Washington hosts the Bucs in Week 10.

McLaurin (hamstring) practiced in full Thursday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: McLaurin was a late addition to Washington's Week 6 practice report due to a hamstring issue, which has followed him into Week 8 prep. Still, he's played the last two games en route to a combined 11-150-1 line on 20 targets against the Chiefs and Packers. With his hamstring injury seemingly not a concern, McLaurin will continue to act as the Football Team's No. 1 wide receiver Sunday in Denver.

His absence from the first session of Week 8 prep may be maintenance-related, but his status nonetheless should be watched closely to ensure his availability isn't in peril for Sunday's game in Denver.

McLaurin produced 45.5 percent of Washington's receiving yardage on the day on just over 32 percent of the targets.

All clear for Sunday
McLaurin (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Green Bay, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: McLaurin was a Friday addition to the injury report last week, but he ultimately played 95 percent of the snaps in a 31-13 loss to the Chiefs and caught only four of eight targets for 28 yards. Washington will need more from him to have a shot at pulling off the upset at Lambeau Field this Sunday, and while it's a tough spot for the team overall, McLaurin faces a beatable cornerback group with no Jaire Alexander (shoulder), who is on injured reserve.

The 26-year-old had 25 catches for 354 yards and three touchdowns across the first four games of the season, but he has only eight receptions for 74 yards and zero scores over his past two contests.

Slowed in Week 6
McLaurin recorded four receptions on eight targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: McLaurin was questionable for the contest with a hamstring injury, and it's possible he was still bothered by the issue. Washington also failed to get any offense going, as Taylor Heinicke passed for just 182 yards and one touchdown. McLaurin has now been held quiet for consecutive games, though he has racked up 19 targets in that span. That provides some hope that he can rebound in Week 7 against the Packers.

McLaurin (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Analysis: McLaurin was a late addition to Washington's Week 6 injury report, as the team opted to hold him out of Friday's session due to the hamstring issue. Head coach Ron Rivera suggested McLaurin's lack of participation Friday was precautionary more than anything, and now that he's avoided the inactive list, the wideout should fill his normal role as quarterback Taylor Heinicke's top target.

Positive news regarding injury
John Keim of ESPN.com reports McLaurin is "feeling good" after injuring his hamstring Friday. The third-year wide receiver is currently listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.
Analysis: It's hardly much to go on, but any positive news is something to report given McLaurin's injury occurred during Friday's practice, putting his status for Sunday somewhat in doubt. Washington did elevate wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden ahead of the aforementioned matchup, but the team has already ruled out both Curtis Samuel (groin) and Cam Sims (hamstring), while Dyami Brown (knee) is also listed as questionable, so it's hardly a one-for-one replacement. If McLaurin is able to play, the…read more

Should play despite late injury
McLaurin (hamstring) should be able to play this Sunday, despite being added to the injury report Friday and listed as questionable for a matchup with Kansas City, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Speaking after Friday's practice, coach Ron Rivera said it was an "abundance of caution" that led to McLaurin being held out of the session and added to the injury report. It actually was a hamstring injury that caused McLaurin's absence, but perhaps just a minor one given Rivera's attempt to downplay it. Still, the timing and missed practice create concern, and fantasy managers should be prepared for multiple scenarios even if McLaurin appears better than 50/50 to suit up ahead of the 1 p.m.…read more

Injures hammy, deemed questionable
McLaurin is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs after missing Friday's practice with a new hamstring injury, Matthew Paras of The Washington Times reports.
Analysis: It's the first time he's been listed on the injury report this year, two days before a game against the defending AFC champs. That's far from ideal, obviously, for an injury-riddled Washington offense that's already missing WR Curtis Samuel (groin), WR Cam Sims (hamstring) and TE Logan Thomas (IR/hamstring), not to mention QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (IR/hip) and two O-line starters (RT Samuel Cosmi, RG Brandon Scherff). Even rookie wideout Dyami Brown (knee) is listed as questionable, leaving Adam…read more

Spotted with training staff
McLaurin spent time with the training staff during Friday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It doesn't necessarily mean he's injured, but multiple beat writers have mentioned it. They also said that McLaurin rejoined his teammates on the main field at Friday's practice, so it remains to be seen if he's even listed on the injury report. He wasn't listed Wednesday or Thursday and hasn't missed any practice time yet this season.

Held in check Sunday
McLaurin caught four of 11 targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 33-22 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: The third-year wideout was Taylor Heinicke's favorite option on the day once again, but he wasn't able to do much with the volume as the New Orleans secondary made a point of not letting McLaurin beat them. The yardage was a season low, but he's seen double-digit targets in three of Heinicke's four starts heading into a potentially juicy Week 6 clash with Kansas City.

Scores twice in comeback win
McLaurin caught six of 13 targets for 123 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-30 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: McLaurin hauled in fewer than half of the balls thrown his way but made the most out of his catches. He got Washington on the board with a 33-yard touchdown in the second quarter, then scored the first of two Washington touchdowns in the final four minutes of the fourth from 17 yards out. After watching his touchdown total plummet from seven as a rookie to four last season, the third-year wide receiver out of Ohio State has already scored three times through four games. McLaurin will have a…read more

Limited to four grabs
McLaurin brought in four of seven targets for 62 yards in Washington's 43-21 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Analysis: McLaurin unsurprisingly paced Washington in targets while tying Logan Thomas for the team lead in receptions. The speedy third-year wideout's line matched his Week 1 tally, with his 11-catch, 107-yard, one-touchdown effort versus the Giants in Week 2 the outlier thus far through three weeks. McLaurin will look to get back to that type of production when Washington tangles with the Falcons on the road Week 4.

Paces pass catchers in win
McLaurin secured 11 of 14 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in Washington's 30-29 win over the Giants on Thursday night.
Analysis: The speedy third-year man was unsurprisingly Taylor Heinicke's top target throughout the night, and he contributed several key receptions. McLaurin came down with a contested 11-yard touchdown grab early in the second quarter, and he also notched a six-yard catch to move the ball to the Giants' 30 on the offense's penultimate play from scrimmage during Washington's game-winning drive. Through two games, McLaurin has now recorded 15 receptions for 169 yards, and his rapport with Heinicke on…read more

Second-half surge not enough
McLaurin caught all four of his targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: 34 of McLaurin's 62 yards came on a poor pass from Taylor Heinicke that was inexplicably whiffed on mid-air by a Chargers defender, setting up a pretty sideline catch. Washington made a concerted effort to involve McLaurin in the offense to start the second half, setting up three of his four catches to start the third, but he was curiously absent from the gameplan the rest of the way. Who McLaurin will be catching passes from in future weeks will be something to monitor as starting quarterback…read more

Unlikely to play Saturday
McLaurin and a slew of other key players likely will be held out of Saturday's preseason game against Baltimore, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: The list also includes RB Antonio Gibson, TE Logan Thomas and WRs Dyami Brown and Adam Humphries. The Washington offense appears in much better shape than last season, though key offseason addition Curtis Samuel (groin) still hasn't practiced since early June. Regardless of Samuel's availability, McLaurin is the centerpiece of Washington's passing game heading into a Week 1 home date with the Chargers.

Targeted three times
McLaurin caught two of three targets for 25 yards in Thursday's 22-12 preseason loss to New England.
Analysis: McLaurin had a 22-yard gain on the second play of the game and ultimately accounted for three of Ryan Fitzpatrick's eight targets. The star wideout will see plenty of looks in any scenario, but he could really be busy early in the season if Curtis Samuel's absence extends past August. Washington's big offseason acquisition has been on the PUP list since the start of training camp, bothered by the same groin injury that kept him out of offseason practices in early-to-mid June.

Training with Doug Baldwin
McLaurin recently worked with former Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin to improve his releases off the line of scrimmage, independent NFL journalist Mark Bullock reports.
Analysis: During his career, Baldwin made a living with toughness, technique and reliable hands, while McLaurin is far more physically gifted, having run a 4.35-second 40-yard dash at 6-foot-2, 208 pounds. The third-year pro has also proven himself to be a quick learner in the NFL, with rapid improvement on short and intermediate routes allowing him to put up 1,118 receiving yards in 15 games last season despite playing in an offense with minimal downfield passing. The hope in Washington is that veteran…read more

Solid effort in season-ending loss
McLaurin (ankle) brought in six of seven targets for 75 yards in Washington's 31-23 wild-card loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday night.
Analysis: The second-year speedster was second to Cam Sims in receptions and receiving yards during Washington' season-ending loss. McLaurin powered through an ankle issue in Week 17 and Saturday night, managing to still put together a combined 13-115-1 line in that pair of contests. Having eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark during the regular season for the first time in his career while also setting a new high-water mark in receptions (87), McLaurin will look to reach even greater heights in 2021 with what…read more

Taking field Saturday
McLaurin (ankle) is listed as active Saturday versus the Buccaneers, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: McLaurin managed two limited practices this week, which was two more than he logged prior to taking the field Week 17. In that contest, he put up seven catches (on eight targets) for 40 yards and one touchdown on the Eagles. The going may be tougher Saturday against a Tampa Bay defense that has given up 8.0 yards per target to wide receivers this season (tied for 14th best in the NFL).

Questionable for Saturday
McLaurin (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Buccaneers, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: McLaurin didn't practice at all last week but still gutted out a high-ankle sprain Week 17 against the Eagles, hauling in seven of eight targets for 40 yards and one touchdown. He got in some reps on the practice field this week, but his status won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Saturday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. If he takes the field, McLaurin should be among Alex Smith's (calf) top targets, assuming the QB also is directing the offense.

Analysis: McLaurin didn't practice at all last week and was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated report. He's now ahead of where he was at the same time last week before he went on to catch seven of eight targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in the division-clinching win over Philadelphia. McLaurin, Alex Smith (calf) and Antonio Gibson (toe) are banged up, but all three appear likely to continue playing through their injuries in Saturday's wild-card game against Tampa Bay.

He was a non-participant Tuesday, and if his activity level Wednesday is any indication, he seems poised to be listed the same way on the official practice report.

Managing ankle issue
McLaurin (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The same applies to running back Antonio Gibson (toe). Given that both players played through their respective issues in Washington's Week 17 win over the Eagles, it's likely that the duo's Tuesday listing is indicative of both key skill players simply managing their injuries as Saturday night's playoff opener against the Buccaneers approaches.

Returns and scores in big win
McLaurin (ankle) reeled in seven of eight targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-14 win over the Eagles. He finishes the regular season with 87 receptions, 1,118 yards and four touchdowns in 15 games.
Analysis: McLaurin toughed it out to return quickly from a high-ankle sprain -- which typically requires 4-to-6 weeks to fully recover from -- and help Alex Smith and Co. push the 7-9 Washington Football Team into the playoffs. The talented wideout dealt with mediocre quarterback play for the entirety of the season, as an aging Smith, whose leg is literally being held together by bolts and screws, was the team's best option under center. The fact that McLaurin managed to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark is a…read more

Playing Sunday
McLaurin (ankle) is listed as active Sunday at Philadelphia, Kyle Stackpole of Washington's official site reports.
Analysis: Amazingly, McLaurin will miss just one game as a result of a high-ankle sprain. It remains to be seen whether he'll be a diversion or actually modestly involved in the offense, but with a variety of signal-callers this season, he's averaged nine targets per game. In this contest, McLaurin will be on the receiving end of passes from Alex Smith, who himself is attempting to gut it out through a strained right calf.

Intends to play Sunday
McLaurin (ankle), who is listed as questionable, plans to play in Sunday's game against the Eagles, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: McLaurin sat out last week's loss to the Panthers due to a high-ankle sprain, which typically takes around six weeks to recover from. He was unable to practice this week, although McLaurin did work on the side and received praise from coach Ron Rivera. With a must-win game on tap, it sounds like McLaurin will give it a go. However, Jhabvala reiterated that McLaurin likely will be playing through some degree of pain and may even be limited to an extent if he is ultimately active.

Washington heads into Sunday's game with all of McLaurin, quarterback Alex Smith (calf) and running back Antonio Gibson (toe) listed as questionable, making it difficult to project what the offense will look like in the team's most important game of the season.

McLaurin is absent from practice for a third straight day, making it two weeks in a row with no participation.

Analysis: During the open part of practice, McLaurin put in some time with Washington's training staff on the side, per John Keim of ESPN.com. Despite this and Rivera's comments, McLaurin has yet to make a noticeable step in his recovery from an injury that typically sidelines a player for multiple games. Still, Rivera seems to be holding out hope McLaurin will make a leap and put himself into a position to play Sunday in Philadelphia, a game that has postseason implications.

Analysis: The team has been listing McLaurin with an ankle issue since the end of November, coinciding with a three-game stretch where he's caught only 11 of 24 targets for 115 yards. His ankle may be partially to blame, but McLaurin has also faced a run of tough matchups, though he caught seven passes for 77 yards against Seattle in Week 15.

McLaurin brought in seven of 12 targets for 77 yards in Washington's 20-15 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

McLaurin's yardage total was also behind only that of Thomas', and the elevated production was a welcome sight for fantasy managers after the second-year wideout had produced a paltry 4-38-0 line over the previous pair of contests.

Catches two of six targets
McLaurin caught two of six targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 23-15 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: McLaurin faced a difficult matchup in this one and things got worse when Alex Smith (calf) departed with a minor injury in the second quarter. The second-year wideout has had a rough go of it over the last two games as he's hauled in just four of 12 targets for 38 yards with no touchdowns. Assuming Smith is able to play next Sunday against the Seahawks, McLaurin will have an excellent chance to bounce back against one of the most porous secondaries in the league.

However, the nadir of his season occurred this past Monday at Pittsburgh, when he was held to two catches (on six targets) for 14 yards. Assuming he can get past the health concern yet again this week, McLaurin will seek a bounce-back effort Sunday in San Francisco.

Quiet in upset victory
McLaurin caught two of six targets for 14 yards in Monday's 23-17 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: McLaurin had his worst game in arguably Washington's biggest win of the season. The speedster was always bound to draw considerable attention from Pittsburgh's secondary, but after having posted at least 80 yards in five straight outings entering Monday, McLaurin's dud performance still was hard to foresee.

McLaurin (ankle) is expected to play in Monday's game against the Steelers, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: McLaurin is listed as questionable, though his full practice participation Saturday was a strong sign he'd be ready for the game. He played through the same ankle injury last Thursday, when he caught seven passes for 92 yards against the Cowboys, giving him a sixth straight game with five or more receptions and 74 or more yards. McLaurin played 90 percent of offensive snaps in last week's blowout win, so he should be set for a full workload Monday night.

Solid showing in big win
McLaurin caught seven of nine targets for 92 yards in Thursday's 41-16 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: He led Washington in catches, receiving yards and targets, and in fact Alex Smith only targeted the rest of the team's wide receiver corps twice all game. McLaurin is closing in on his first career 1,000-yard campaign and has topped 80 yards with at least five catches in five straight games, but both streaks could be in jeopardy in Week 13's road tilt with the undefeated Steelers.

Suiting up Thursday
McLaurin (ankle) is active for Thursday's game at Dallas, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: McLaurin progressed from non-participant Monday to full activity Wednesday, but Washington still attached a 'questionable' tag to his name for this Week 12 divisional matchup. With his status clarified, he'll take on a Cowboys defense that has given up the most touchdowns (20) and fifth-most yards per target (9.2) to wide receivers this season.

Officially listed as questionable
McLaurin (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game in Dallas, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: McLaurin is listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, which would seem to indicate that he's on track to suit up versus the Cowboy on Thanksgiving Day. If McLaurin is indeed able to take the field in Dallas, count on him to serve as Alex Smith's clear top option in the passing attack, as usual.

Upgrades to limited activity
McLaurin (ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Kyle Stackpole of Washington's official site reports.
Analysis: After going down as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, McLaurin was able to take his activity up a notch Tuesday. Washington hasn't yet suggested that McLaurin's ankle injury is anything overly worrisome, so the expectation is that he'll be ready to serve as the Football Team's top option in the passing game Thursday in Dallas.

Nursing ankle injury
McLaurin (ankle) did not practice Monday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: McLaurin appeared undeterred by injury while leading Washington's receiving corps with five catches for 84 yards during Sunday's win over the Bengals, but it appears he's now dealing with an ankle issue. He's handled over 90 percent of offensive snaps in all but one of his 10 appearances this season, though, so it's possible that the Football Team is simply giving the star wideout some rest ahead of a Thanksgiving Day contest in Dallas. As long as McLaurin can return to practice Tuesday and/or…read more

Paces passing game in win
McLaurin caught five of seven targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 20-9 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: McLaurin set up Washington's first touchdown with a 42-yard catch, which ended up accounting for exactly half of his receiving yards. The standout sophomore has already topped his rookie total with 62 catches through 10 games, and he's just 129 yards shy of reaching 1,000 for the second time in as many seasons. That production is even more impressive when you consider Washington's uneven play under center during McLaurin's tenure, and he'll get a chance to show off his skills to a national…read more

Contributes 122 scrimmage yards
McLaurin caught seven of nine targets for 95 yards and added a 27-yard rush during Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Lions. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: McLaurin got off to a slow start but hit his stride with a career-long carry in the first quarter. He was targeted often in what turned out to be a bit of a shootout and finished as the team leader in receiving yards yet again while tying for first in receptions. McLaurin lost a fumble that resulted in a Detroit field goal at the end of the second quarter -- a play that now looms large considering the home team ultimately won the game on a last-second field goal.

Top receiver in loss to G-Men
McLaurin corralled seven of eight targets for 115 receiving yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: McLaurin concluded the NFC East battle as the game's leading receiver, though J.D. McKissic outpaced him in targets by six. The Ohio State product has been incredibly reliable in fantasy despite inconsistent quarterback play, as McLaurin has exceeded 60 receiving yards in seven of his eight outings this season. Volume has also remained steady, with McLaurin attracting at least seven targets in every one of his appearances thus far in 2020. Washington faces a Detroit defense in Week 10 that…read more

Scores long touchdown vs. Dallas
McLaurin caught seven of 11 targets for 90 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 25-3 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: McLaurin was limited mostly to short gains and did the majority of his damage on a 52-yard touchdown grab in the second quarter. The deep shot resulted in his longest gain of the season and got him into the end zone for the first time since Week 2. McLaurin is quietly on pace for over 1,300 yards for the season and will look to build off this strong effort in next Sunday's divisional matchup with the Giants.

Paces receivers in narrow loss
McLaurin secured seven of 12 targets for 74 yards in the Washington Football Team's 20-19 loss to the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: McLaurin paced the WFT's pass catchers in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the way to another productive effort. It was a solid bounce-back performance for the second-year wideout, who'd posted a season-worst 3-26 line in Week 5 against the Rams while coming off a thigh injury. With quarterback Kyle Allen putting together a strong showing in Sunday's losing effort, there's reason for optimism with respect to McLaurin's prospects moving forward.

Quiet in Week 5 loss
McLaurin (thigh) brought in three of seven targets for 26 yards in the Washington Football Team's 30-10 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: McLaurin produced an atypically poor stat line, but he did check in second in targets and receiving yards on a pedestrian day for the WFT's offense overall. The second-year speedster had very strong chemistry with the demoted Dwayne Haskins, and with Kyle Allen leaving Sunday's game late in the first half with an arm injury, he hasn't yet had much of a chance to establish much rapport with the second-year signal-caller. Coach Ron Rivera already confirmed Allen will be the starter again as soon…read more

McLaurin (thigh) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: McLaurin was listed as questionable with the same injury last week, ultimately suiting up and catching 10 of 14 targets for 118 yards in a 31-17 loss to the Ravens. He'll catch passes from Kyle Allen instead of Dwayne Haskins this week, facing a Rams defense that could opt to use cornerback Jalen Ramsey in shadow coverage on McLaurin. Even so, McLaurin has earned must-start status in most fantasy leagues, as he's recording at least seven targets and 61 yards each week this season. There aren't…read more

McLaurin (thigh) was seen participating in individual drills during Friday's practice, Kyle Stackpole of Washington's official site reports.
Analysis: The 24-year-old practiced as a limited participant Thursday and appears to be working in a similar capacity at Friday's session. McLaurin played through the questionable tag Week 4 against the Ravens, finishing with 10 receptions on 14 targets for 118 yards.

Analysis: Prior to Week 4, McLaurin was limited at practice one time before sitting out entirely Friday, but he still suited up this past Sunday and recorded 10 catches (on 14 targets) for 118 yards against a tough Ravens defense. So far this week, he's followed an absence Wednesday with some reps Thursday, indicating improvement with his thigh issue. Ultimately, Friday's injury report will give a sense of his availability for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Commands 14 targets
McLaurin tallied 10 receptions on 14 targets for 118 yards in Week 4 against Baltimore.
Analysis: McLaurin took advantage of game script, vacuuming up 14 of Dwayne Haskins' 45 pass attempts. Five of his 10 receptions went for double-digit yards, highlighted by a 39-yard gain late in the fourth quarter. Though he has found the end zone only once through four games, McLaurin has racked up 387 receiving yards on 26 receptions and 39 targets. He'll look to continue his strong start to the campaign as Washington takes on the Rams in Week 5.

It appears he's since gone through pre-game warmups without major issue and is ready to take the field, though the matchup leaves a lot to be desired.

McLaurin recorded four receptions on eight targets for 83 yards in Week 3 against Cleveland.
Analysis: McLaurin showed off his big-play ability, racking up receptions of 33, 21, 15 and 14 yards. He's also shown the ability to accrue plenty of volume as well, seeing no fewer than seven targets in any of Washington's three contests this season. Despite a largely inefficient offense, McLaurin has shown the ability to excel as Dwayne Haskins' top target. However, he'll face a stiff test in Week 4 as Washington takes on Baltimore.

Analysis: He caught a fourth-quarter pass from Dwayne Haskins on a slant route and took it 24 yards for Washington's first TD, but McLaurin was his team's most dangerous weapon all day. The second-year receiver should see high volume again in Week 3 against a Browns defense that just allowed Tyler Boyd to rack up seven catches for 72 yards and a score.

Analysis: According to Standig, McLaurin was "dinged [up] late" during a Week 16 overtime loss to the Giants. Washington didn't get the ball during the extra session, so McLaurin's last play was a five-yard catch just after the two-minute warning. No injury has been mentioned in the wake of the contest, and because the team won't release a practice report until Wednesday, his health likely won't be touched on until that point.

That was the outstanding rookie's seventh touchdown of the season, as McLaurin has demonstrated a tremendous combination of ball skills and speed. His 130 receiving yards set a new career high, surpassing the 125 yards McLaurin posted against these same Eagles back in Week 1.

McLaurin also had a 67-yard catch on Washington's third offensive drive of the day, but the gain was wiped out by a holding penalty on Brandon Scherff.

However, over the past three weeks against San Francisco, Minnesota and Buffalo, he's managed only three catches per game for an average output of 29.7 yards.
