Sources in Washington are optimistic about Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (toe). He’s responded well to work on the field so far, with a few days of practice remaining before the sold-out home opener against Arizona.

This is a tough situation for fantasy managers who likely just drafted McLaurin last weekend. It's even worse for managers who took a running back-heavy approach who may even be relying on him as their team's WR1. Expectations should be limited right out of the gate, and McLaurin may end up on benches for teams with many other WRs on their team. His season-long outlook should remain very strong.

Standig remarks that Carson Wentz has displayed more chemistry with Jahan Dotson than any other wide receiver in camp.

This isn't to say that Terry McLaurin isn't the unquestioned number one on this team, but it's a good sign that the 16th-overall pick would seem to be the for sure second option in the Washington passing game. Dotson also seems to be the favorite to be the primary punt returner, if you're looking for a tiebreaker and another option late in drafts.

WFT WR Curtis Samuel (groin) will not play week 10, while WR Dyami Brown (knee) is questionable.

Samuel's season feels like a total 'L,' while Brown's anticipated return is good for him rest of season and as a dynasty target in 2022.

Rivera is hopeful that after the bye, Washington may be able to activate tight end Logan Thomas off injured reserve (hamstring) and return a number of starters, including right guard Brandon Scherff (knee), wide receiver Dyami Brown (knee), right tackle Sam Cosmi (ankle), cornerback William Jackson III (knee) and receiver Curtis Samuel.

Seals-Jones had just a 2-12-0 line last week after three solid games in a row with Thomas on IR. Now could be the time to take a shot on Thomas if he's on your wire and you're in need of TE help. Samuel has been dealing with a groin injury since spring, the story pointed out and could also be a stash option with Washington on a bye this week.

WFT WRs Curtis Samuel (groin) and Dyami Brown (knee) will miss Week 8's game against the Denver Broncos. WR Cam Sims (hamstring) is questionable.

Look for Terry McLaurin and Ricky Seals-Jones to lead the team in targets with Milne and Humphries contributing.

WFT WRs Terry McLaurin (ankle), Curtis Samuel (groin), and Dyami Brown (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

McLaurin will have limited practice reps each week as long as he is injured, but is expected to play. Samuel and Brown are less likely to play.

Washington Football Team WR Dyami Brown has an MRI today, but the belief is he has a minor knee injury.

Rapoport said there is no major structural issues, though he’ll likely miss next week’s game. After that is the bye, and he’ll be reassessed, according to the tweet. Of course, outside of Terry McLaurin the WFT is hurting at the WR position. Samuel can't get on the field because of a hamstring issue, leaving Humphries as the team's WR2. Sims has been struggling with a groin injury.

WFT WRs Terry McLaurin (hamstring) and Dyami Brown (knee) are questionable for Week 6, while WRs Curtis Samuel (groin) and Cam Sims (hamstring) will miss Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

That is a lot of talent and receiver depth that will miss or potentially miss against one of the worst defenses in the league. Monitor Sunday's injury reports.
