Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Quiet in win over Chicago
Luke McCaffrey secured one of two targets for eight yards during Sunday's 18-15 win over the Bears.McCaffrey improved on his Week 7 performance, in which he failed to draw a single target in a blowout win over Carolina, but his production versus Chicago remained lackluster. His share of offensive snaps (36 percent) has been similar to Olamide Zaccheaus (35 percent) and Dyami Brown (32 percent), but well behind Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown. Heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Giants, the rookie third-round pick will remain off the fantasy radar until he's able to showcase more consistency and/or upside.

Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Not targeted in blowout win
Luke McCaffrey was held without a target in Sunday's 40-7 win over the Panthers.McCaffrey was a complete non-factor Week 7, as the rookie was held without a reception for the first time since Week 2. The 23-year-old wideout played 26 of the Washington Commanders' 69 offensive snaps Sunday, trailing fellow receiversTerry McLaurin (49), Noah Brown (42) and Olamide Zaccheaus (29). At this point, McCaffrey isn't seeing enough usage in Washington's passing attack to be in consideration for fantasy purposes.

Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Targeted once in loss
Luke McCaffrey caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Ravens.McCaffrey continues to get most of the slot snaps for Washington but has been targeted on just 11 percent of his routes this season, whereas fellow Washington wide receivers Terry McLaurin, Noah Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus have all been targeted on at least 25.0 percent of theirs. McCaffrey may see more passes as his rookie season progresses, but he can't be counted on for much Week 7 at Carolina.

Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Catches three passes
Luke McCaffrey caught each of his three targets for 19 yards in a 34-13 win over the Browns on Sunday.The rookie played a season-high 66 percent of snaps on offense, taking on a bit of extra playing time with Noah Brown inactive due to a groin injury. It was only a minor change, however, as Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus took most of the snaps that normally would go to Brown. It'll still be hard to trust any Washington wideout for more than two or three targets when the Washington Commanders head to Baltimore in Week 6.

Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Catches three passes for 44 yards
Luke McCaffrey caught each of his three targets for 44 yards in Monday's 38-33 win over the Bengals.McCaffrey played only 34 percent of the offensive snaps on a night when the Washington Commanders mostly led and didn't use a lot of three-wide formations. The rookie has generally looked good and had a 30-yard gain on a catch-and-run Sunday night, but his workload still isn't anywhere close to fantasy starter territory, given his limited role in an offense that's attempted fewer than 30 passes in each game so far. He'll take aim at the Cardinals in Week 4, playing on the road in a game with the largest over/under (50.5) on the slate.

Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Not targeted against Giants
Luke McCaffrey failed to record a single target in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants.Despite playing a healthy 56 percent of offensive snaps Sunday, McCaffrey was not involved in the passing game on a day in which Jayden Daniels attempted 29 passes. The rookie wideout figures to see his usage fluctuate in Washington's offense as the passing attack gets things figured out with a rookie signal caller at the helm. With that said, McCaffrey should continue to develop alongside Daniels toward a stronger connection as the season progresses. Fantasy managers hoping for a quick breakout for the 23-year-old receiver should exercise patience. McCaffrey will look to take a step forward in Week 3 when the Washington Commanders visit the Bengals.

Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Three catches in NFL debut
Luke McCaffrey caught all three of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Buccaneers.McCaffrey actually led all Washington wideouts in receiving yards in his NFL debut, besting Terry McLaurin by one yard. The rookie third-round pick's total was fourth on the team overall behind running backs Austin Ekeler (52) and Brian Robinson (48), as well as tight end Zach Ertz (28), as quarterback Jayden Daniels spent all game either checking the ball down or scrambling. The rookie quarterback-receiver combo has a chance to develop a strong connection down the line, but both Daniels and McCaffrey are still raw heading into Week 2 against the Giants, which was illustrated by McCaffrey's inability to get his feet inbounds after getting open on a two-point conversion attempt late in the loss to Tampa Bay.

Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Not separating from other WRs
Luke McCaffrey hasn't emerged as an obvious top-four wide receiver to open the season for Washington, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.Even after the Washington Commanders' trade of Jahan Dotson this week, McCaffrey hasn't earned a starting role in Washington. It sounds like Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus are pushing for playing time behind Terry McLaurin, and even slot man Jamison Crowder could be in the mix. McCaffrey is relatively new to the wide receiver position after playing it for just two seasons. If McCaffrey doesn't open the season in three-wide sets, it's not out of the question that he finishes 2024 in a prominent role.

Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Facing less snap competition
Luke McCaffrey has less competition for playing time after the Washington Commanders traded Jahan Dotson to the Eagles on Thursday.McCaffrey strictly worked with Washington's second- and third-string offenses in the first two preseason games, but a lack of talent at WR behind Terry McLaurin suggests it may not be long before the rookie third-round pick gets regular playing time. Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus have been splitting perimeter snaps opposite McLaurin on the first-team offense, with Dotson getting most of the slot work pre-trade. McCaffrey has worked both outside and inside this summer, and at 6-foot-2 with 4.46 speed he isn't necessarily limited to the slot.

Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Catches two passes
Luke McCaffrey caught both of his targets for 30 yards in a 13-6 preseason loss to Miami on Saturday.The rookie third-round pick has four catches for 55 yards through two preseason games, but each of his five targets has come with the second/third-string offenses. Coach Dan Quinn suggested the WR roles are all up for grabs behind No. 1 target Terry McLaurin, so there's room for McCaffrey to make a move up the depth chart in a hurry even though he's worked behind Jahan Dotson, Olamide Zaccheaus and Dyami Brown this preseason.
