After playing in only one game since Week 3, Washington WR Terry McLaurin returned to the Commanders' lineup and absorbed a team-high 14 targets in Washington's 27-26 overtime loss to Denver. McLaurin's presence made an immediate impact on Washington's offense. The Commanders racked up 419 yards of offense on Denver's elite defense, but it wasn't enough as the Broncos won their ninth straight.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quad) is off the final injury report and will play vs. the Broncos on Sunday night. It’ll be McLaurin’s first game since Week 8 -- and it comes against a Denver defense that’s ranked first in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs and gets CB Pat Surtain back for this one. It leaves McLaurin as a shaky Week 13 fantasy start.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quad) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. HC Dan Quinn spoke optimistically about McLaurin's status earlier this week, so we're tentatively expecting him back for Sunday night's game vs. the Broncos. But McLaurin would be no better than a WR3 in that one coming off a lengthy layoff against the league's top-ranked WR defense.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quad) was on the field for Monday's post-bye-week practice and seemingly has a shot to return for Sunday night's game vs. the Broncos. "I’ll have a better answer later," HC Dan Quinn said when asked about McLaurin's Week 13 status. "I will say that I’m excited about the possibilities, because of his speed and how he’s moving. Those are big steps." We'll keep you updated on McLaurin's status throughout the week. If he does play on Sunday, he'd be no better than a WR3 against Denver's second-ranked WR defense.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quad) won't play vs. the Dolphins on Sunday morning, HC Dan Quinn said. McLaurin will at least travel with the team to Spain -- and then get a Week 12 bye. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 13's meeting with the Broncos. Robbie Chosen and Treylon Burks finished second and third among Commanders WRs in routes last week, ahead of Jaylin Lane and Chris Moore. Deebo Samuel is the only Washington WR that should be anywhere close to Week 11 fantasy lineups.

Update: Burks has also been ruled out for Week 11 after undergoing finger surgery.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quad) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions. With WRs Noah Brown and Luke McCaffrey on IR, Washington is down to Deebo Samuel, Jaylin Lane, and Chris Moore as its top three WRs. Samuel is the only bankable fantasy play.

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 Terry McLaurin (quad) dodged IR, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that McLaurin will "likely" miss Week 10's game against the Lions. And he could also miss the following game against the Dolphins in Madrid, per Rapoport. Washington then gets a Week 12 bye. We'll keep you updated on McLaurin's status, but fantasy owners should be prepared to be without him until Week 13.

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.
