McLaurin recorded four receptions on four targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

McLaurin was the only pass catcher to get anything going for the Commanders, as Josh Johnson managed just 131 passing yards. McLaurin made a long catch of 25 yards early in the second quarter, though he also drew four defensive penalties, two of which helped keep touchdown drives alive. McLaurin endured a tough 2025 season due to his own struggles to stay on the field, as well as Jayden Daniels (elbow) missing a significant portion of the year. However, McLaurin should have a strong chance to bounce back in 2026, as he had logged five consecutive seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards entering the current campaign.

McLaurin caught five of seven targets for 63 yards in the Commanders' 30-23 loss to the Cowboys on Christmas Day.

EDGE Analysis

The five catches led Washington on the day, although Deebo Samuel finished with five more yards. McLaurin has been consistently productive since returning from a quadriceps strain in Week 13 despite the team's revolving door at quarterback, putting together a 21-322-2 line on 35 targets over the last five games. The star wideout will look to cap a disappointing season with a big performance in Week 18 against the Eagles.

McLaurin recorded three receptions on four targets for 53 yards in Saturday's 29-18 loss to the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

McLaurin looked to be in for a solid game, logging each of his receptions and all of his yardage by halftime. His biggest impact came on a 40-yard catch deep down the left sideline when he beat Adoree Jackson midway through the second quarter. The Commanders' entire passing game became limited after Marcus Mariota (hand) was forced to exit early in the third quarter, which led to a muted stat line for McLaurin. He would be a very risky fantasy option in Week 17 against the Cowboys if Josh Johnson is the starter.

McLaurin caught three of four targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-21 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

The Commanders' top wideout was having a quiet day until connecting with Marcus Mariota on a 51-yard score in the fourth quarter. It's McLaurin's second TD in three games since returning from a quadriceps injury, a stretch in which he's posted a 13-216-2 line on 24 targets. Whether Mariota or Jayden Daniels (elbow) is under center in Week 16 against the Eagles, McLaurin figures to be his QB's top downfield option.

McLaurin caught three of six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

The 41 receiving yards actually led the Commanders on the day, as neither Jayden Daniels (elbow) nor Marcus Mariota had much success against the Minnesota defense. In two games since his own return from a quadriceps strain, McLaurin has caught 11 of 20 targets for 137 yards and a TD, and he's locked in as Washington's top wideout whether Daniels -- who appeared to aggravate his dislocated left elbow in the loss -- or Mariota is under center in Week 15 against the Giants.

McLaurin recorded seven receptions on 14 targets for 96 yards in Sunday's 27-26 overtime loss to the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

McLaurin accounted for his normal snap count in a game for the first time since Week 2 and was on the field for the first time since Week 8. Even without Jayden Daniels (elbow) under center, McLaurin showed no signs of rust by leading the team in targets while logging three catches of more than 15 yards to record his highest yardage total in five contests this season. McLaurin also found the end zone in overtime, beating the Denver defense on a short slant over the middle from three yards away. While the Commanders came up short, McLaurin had a successful return and seemed to provide a boost to the entire unit.

Coach Dan Quinn said Friday that McLaurin (quadriceps) will return to action Sunday versus the Broncos, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

McLaurin took part in drills this week for the first time since Week 8 prep, logging a limited practice Wednesday and a full session Thursday. With Quinn's seal of approval Friday, McLaurin is poised for just his second appearance since Week 3 following his recovery from a lingering quad injury. McLaurin will be working with fill-in QB Marcus Mariota this weekend after Quinn ruled out Jayden Daniels, who continues to rehab from his dislocated left elbow from Week 9.

McLaurin (quadriceps) was listed as full on Thursday's injury report.

EDGE Analysis

McLaurin is seeking his first game action since Week 8 and just his second appearance since Week 3 due to a nagging quadriceps injury. With a full listing now under his belt, he appears set to return Sunday against the Broncos along with Noah Brown (groin/knee), the latter of whom will need to be activated from injured reserve by Saturday afternoon in order to have a chance to play this weekend.

McLaurin (quadriceps) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Coming out of a Week 12 bye, McLaurin took part in an unofficial walk-through Monday and is now officially practicing with his teammates for the first time since Week 8. The Commanders likely will want to see McLaurin upgrade to full practice participation before he's cleared to play, as there isn't much reason to rush things at this point in the season. QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) may also return soon, though presumably not for this Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Commanders coach Dan Quinn said McLaurin (quadriceps) will participate in Monday's unofficial walkthrough, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

McLaurin appears to have made the most of Washington's bye in Week 12, as Monday's session represents his first time handling on-field reps since aggravating his quad injury Week 8. It's possible McLaurin will be cleared to retake the field versus the Broncos on Sunday if he's able to ramp up his activity throughout the week while avoiding any setbacks. Quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) also is slated to practice this week, though Marcus Mariota is expected to remain Washington's starter Week 13.
