McLaurin caught six of eight targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
It took until the fourth quarter, but McLaurin hauled in just enough production to reach 1,000 yards for the fourth straight season with 1,002. His 79 catches on the year also put him over 75 for the fourth straight campaign, a remarkable streak of consistency considering the revolving door the Commanders have had at quarterback during his career. McLaurin will likely be working with yet another new signal-caller, and a new coaching staff, in 2024, but this might be the one that sticks as Washington holds the second overall pick in a QB-rich draft class.

McLaurin recorded four catches on six targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
McLaurin was one of the few bright spots in the Washington offense, though his production came primarily on two plays on the same drive. He first caught a deep pass down the right sideline for 42 yards, and five plays later, he boxed out a 49ers defender to record a three-yard touchdown catch. McLaurin now has two scores in his last three games after recording only two touchdowns in the first 13 contests of the campaign.

McLaurin caught three of five targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 30-28 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
For the second straight week, McLaurin did little until Sam Howell was replaced at quarterback by Jacoby Brissett, and the wideout gained most of his team-leading yardage on a 29-yard pass from Brissett in the fourth quarter that helped set up a Chris Rodriguez TD. The Commanders' passing attack has looked better under Brissett than Howell in back-to-back games, and McLaurin's fantasy prospects would be brighter if coach Ron Rivera made the switch permanent ahead of a Week 17 clash with the 49ers.

McLaurin recorded six receptions on 12 targets for 141 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
McLaurin entered Sunday's matchup in particularly bad form, as he had failed to top 50 receiving yards in four consecutive games. He turned that around, however, as he managed his first 100-yard receiving game of the season and also found the end zone for the first time since Week 8. His touchdown came midway through the fourth quarter from backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett, and McLaurin narrowly missed a second score on a 48-yard reception on the next offensive possession. While it was a very positive performance for McLaurin, he could have a hard time following it up in a Week 16 matchup against the typically tough Jets secondary.

McLaurin failed to bring in any of his three targets in the Commanders' 45-15 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
McLaurin was kept off the stat sheet for the only the second time in his career, the first instance having come back in Week 14 of the 2021 season against the Cowboys. The veteran's target tally was also a season low, although it bears mentioning that Washington's air attack had a very underwhelming day as a whole with Sam Howell putting up just 23 pass attempts. McLaurin should be set to return a customary level of production following the Week 14 bye in a Week 15 road matchup against the Rams that should feature a much more conventional game script.

McLaurin caught four of 11 targets for 50 yards in Thursday's 45-10 loss to the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
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 recorded five receptions on seven targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 31-19 loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
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 caught four of eight targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 29-26 loss to the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
McLaurin finished with his worst fantasy output since Week 1 when he had two catches for 31 yards against the Cardinals. The veteran starter averaged 5.6 receptions and 67.1 yards in the eight games bookended by his two sub 40-yard duds, numbers good enough to warrant a lineup spot in most fantasy formats. McLaurin's total production through 10 weeks sits at 51-601-2, putting him on pace for his fourth consecutive 1,000-yard receiving season. His next attempt to add to that total comes against the Giants next Sunday.

McLaurin caught five of seven targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
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.

McLaurin brought in five of 12 targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the Commanders' 38-31 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
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.
