Luke McCaffrey Fantasy Stats

The Washington Commanders have placed wide receiver Luke McCaffrey (shoulder) on injured reserve after suffering a broken collarbone during the opening kickoff of their blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night. McCaffrey has been an impactful kick returner and made multiple splash plays on offense this season, but is now expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 season. The second-year wideout out of Rice had the third-highest yards per kick return (29.6) and scored three touchdowns on only 11 total receptions as a receiver. The Washington Commanders have been wiped out by injury this season, especially at wide receiver. Veteran Deebo Samuel Sr., rookie Jaylin Lane, and the recently signed Treylon Burks will all be expected to see an increase in targets over the second half of the season.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey (shoulder) broke his collarbone on the opening kick return last night, sources tell The Insiders. A possible tough end to a promising season for the 2024 third-round pick, NFL networks' Mike Garafolo reports. McCaffrey had a tough break on Sunday night, as he was injured on the very first play of the game and was quickly ruled out. The second-year player out of Rice University has been enjoying a nice season thus far with three touchdowns and 203 receiving yards, to go along with his 769 kick return yards. Although the length of how long he will be sidelined has not been fully disclosed, McCaffrey will likely land on the IR, and fantasy managers who roster him will want to keep tabs on any updates over the next 12-24 hours. In redraft formats, he can be dropped, as he remains a dynasty stash at this time.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey (shoulder) exited during the first quarter of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Seattle Seahawks. He appeared to suffer the injury while returning the game's opening kickoff. As a result of his injury, McCaffrey has been ruled out for the remainder of the game. The 24-year-old Rice product had taken on an expanded role in recent weeks, catching 10 passes for 184 yards and three touchdowns over his last six games. With McCaffrey, Terry McLaurin (quadriceps), and Noah Brown (groin, knee) all sidelined, the Commanders will turn to a combination of Chris Moore, Jaylin Lane, and Treylon Burks in the No. 2 receiver role alongside Deebo Samuel Sr.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey hasn't had a massive role on offense this season, but he has made a handful of big plays. The second-year wideout has recorded 11 receptions for 203 yards and three touchdowns on 15 targets this season. With Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) out, McCaffrey should have some more opportunities for targets on Sunday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks. Plus, he should benefit from having quarterback Jayden Daniels back as the starter. The 24-year-old has only two games with a route share above 50% this season, so he will need to be efficient on the limited targets he receives. McCaffrey's route share could tick up in Week 9, but he's likely to remain in a reduced role and will need to hit on a few big plays to deliver fantasy value.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey was held without a catch in the team's 44-22 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 7. It was a prime opportunity for a breakout, with the Cowboys ranking last in the NFL against wide receivers, and Terry McLaurin (quad), Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel), and Noah Brown (groin) all sidelined. Despite the ideal setup, McCaffrey played just 52% of the snaps, finishing behind Chris Moore and Jaylin Lane, and nearly even with Robbie Chosen, who was making his season debut. With McLaurin and Samuel both expected to return soon, McCaffrey's role will likely shrink even further. Fantasy managers can safely move on from McCaffrey in all formats.

Washington Commanders second-year wide receiver Luke McCaffrey entered the Week 7 contest against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday with a prime opportunity to break out with both Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) sidelined. That unfortunately did not happen, though, as McCaffrey finished with no catches on just two targets in the 44-22 loss on the road. It was a disappointing showing after the 24-year-old had three touchdowns in the previous four weeks. McCaffrey also had an injury scare in the blowout loss to Dallas, which could have contributed to his quiet day against a porous secondary. Even if McLaurin and Samuel miss more time, McCaffrey is hard to trust as a boom/bust deep threat for the Commanders, especially with quarterback Jayden Daniels (hamstring) dealing with another injury. McCaffrey hasn't had more than three targets in any of his seven games in 2025.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey will serve as the No. 1 wideout for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. The Commanders will be without Terry McLaurin (quad), Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel), and Noah Brown (groin) for this Week 7 contest. McCaffrey will serve as the top option against the Cowboys defense that is without starting defensive back Trevon Diggs (concussion) for this game. McCaffrey has been quiet this season, but could offer flex value for needy fantasy managers. The Commanders are limited on options, so McCaffrey should see plenty of opportunities.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey has scored in three of his last four games and is emerging as a much-needed playmaker in a banged-up Washington WR room. McCaffrey has only eight receptions on the season, but three of them have gone for touchdowns, and one went for 50 yards on an outstanding catch and beautiful deep ball from Jayden Daniels. McCaffrey's season high for route share was 43.5% back in Week 3, and he hasn't been higher than 40% since then. With Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) out for his fourth straight game and Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) uncertain for Sunday, McCaffrey could see a bump in routes and targets in Week 7 against Dallas. It'd be an ideal spot for McCaffrey to get more run, as the Dallas defense has been abysmal against opposing wide receivers, allowing the most PPR points per game. McCaffrey would be a player to consider plugging in for Samuel if he is unable to go.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey recorded his third touchdown catch in his last four games in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. However, McCaffrey has just eight catches for 179 yards on 10 targets so far this season. Even with Commanders' wideouts Terry McLaurin (quad) and Noah Brown (groin, knee) having missed multiple weeks due to injury, McCaffrey has not seen more than three targets in any game yet in 2025. The 24-year-old clearly has big-play upside, as evidenced by his 22.4-yard-per-reception average, but his low target volume gives him a low floor. McCaffrey is worth rostering in the deepest fantasy leagues while McLaurin and Brown remain sidelined, but his utility is likely limited.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey has made a handful of spectacular plays over the last few weeks, with star wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) injured. McLaurin is now ruled out for the third consecutive game and opens up more routes for McCaffrey, who has been taking advantage. The second-year wide receiver had one of the highlight plays of Week 5, making an incredibly difficult diving catch on a beautiful 50-yard deep pass from Jayden Daniels. McCaffrey hasn't drawn a high number of targets, but his playmaking ability has been evident, and Daniels' faith in him appears to be growing by the week. McCaffrey will have a chance to stack his positive performances in Week 6 against the Bears, who have allowed the sixth most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers. He is on the WR4-WR5 line for Week 6.
