Jaylin Lane Fantasy Overview

Commanders HC Dan Quinn admitted Monday that WR Terry McLaurin (quad) is unlikely to play vs. the Lions this weekend. That's not a surprise after NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Sunday morning that McLaurin could be out through the team's Week 12 bye. With WRs Noah Brown and Luke McCaffrey also out, Washington will be down to WRs Deebo Samuel, Chris Moore, Jaylin Lane, and Treylon Burks against Detroit -- catching passes from QB Marcus Mariota.

Commanders WR Luke McCaffrey broke his collarbone in Sunday night's loss to the Seahawks and will be placed on IR, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. McCaffrey will "likely" miss the rest of the season, Rapoport adds. He can be dropped in all redraft leagues. It's another blow to a Washington WR corps that's missed Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown for much of the year. McLaurin could miss another couple of games, while Brown is out for at least one more. That leaves Deebo Samuel, Chris Moore, and Jaylin Lane as the team's top three WRs for this weekend's game vs. the Lions. Treylon Burks finished fourth among Commanders WRs in routes vs. Seattle after being elevated from the practice squad on Saturday.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin suffered a setback with his quad injury in Monday night's loss to the Chiefs and is out for Week 9, HC Dan Quinn said Wednesday. McLaurin missed four weeks with this injury the first time, and players often miss more time with setbacks. That's just speculation -- and we'll look for more info on McLaurin's status -- but fantasy managers should plan to be without him beyond Week 9.

Washington has downgraded WR Deebo Samuel to out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. He's not even traveling with the team, thanks to the heel injury that he played through in last Monday night's loss to the Bears. Samuel still led the team's pass catchers in playing time for that contest.
