The fourth-year wideout was second on the Commanders in targets behind Curtis Samuel's 12, but McLaurin faced tight coverage all day and couldn't do much with the volume. He nearly had a touchdown on a deep route early in the third quarter when the outcome of the game was still in doubt, but Stephon Gilmore was with him step for step and broke it up. McLaurin has still caught at least four passes in 11 straight games to maintain a steady floor in PPR formats, but he's gone three straight games without topping 50 yards and four straight without getting into the end zone. He'll likely need to come up big in Week 13 if the Commanders are going to keep pace with Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins.

The fourth-year wideout was second on the Commanders in targets behind Curtis Samuel's 12, but McLaurin faced tight coverage all day and couldn't do much with the volume. He nearly had a touchdown on a deep route early in the third quarter when the outcome of the game was still in doubt, but Stephon Gilmore was with him step for step and broke it up. McLaurin has still caught at least four passes in 11 straight games to maintain a steady floor in PPR formats, but he's gone three straight games without topping 50 yards and four straight without getting into the end zone. He'll likely need to come up big in Week 13 if the Commanders are going to keep pace with Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins.
McLaurin finished third on the team on targets, as Sam Howell favored short-area options such as Logan Thomas and Brian Robinson. His longest catch of the day went for only 11 yards, and McLaurin now has only 76 yards on nine receptions combined across his last two games. That's continued a disappointing campaign, as he has topped 80 yards only three times to go along with two total touchdowns.
McLaurin was quiet for most of the afternoon but made catches of 26 and 36 yards on consecutive plays to set up a go-ahead field goal in the third quarter. That turned out to be the game-winning field goal, as neither team scored in the fourth quarter. Those two catches helped McLaurin post team-high totals in receptions and receiving yards while finishing one target shy of Jahan Dotson's team-best total. With quarterback Sam Howell having topped 300 passing yards in each of the last two games, McLaurin and the rest of Washington's passing game have built up some momentum heading into a Week 10 road game in Seattle.
The normally reliable receiver was far from his most efficient and was uncharacteristically guilty of a couple of late drops, but McLaurin still delivered a solid fantasy day thanks in large part to his 26-yard touchdown grab to open the scoring. The score was only McLaurin's second of the season and first since Week 2, but his target tally was a new high-water mark in 2023 and his third of the double-digit variety this season. McLaurin next takes aim at a vulnerable Patriots secondary in a Week 9 road interconference matchup.
