Luke McCaffrey a Cut Candidate in Dynasty Leagues
Washington Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey (collarbone) entered his second year in the NFL in 2025 with the hope that he'd take a big second-year leap. The 25-year-old former third-rounder (100th overall) in 2024 out of Rice was off to a solid start, catching eight of his 10 targets for 179 yards and three touchdowns in the first six games. McCaffrey was also a force on special teams as a return man. Unfortunately, his second year in the league was cut short by a season-ending broken collarbone, and he finished Year 2 with just 11 catches on 15 targets for 203 yards and three touchdowns in nine games (zero starts). He added 769 kick-return yards. The good news is that the younger brother of San Francisco 49ers All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey should be fully healthy for the start of the 2026 season. Veteran Deebo Samuel Sr. is gone, but the Commanders signed Dyami Brown and Van Jefferson in free agency and drafted rookie Antonio Williams. There will be more competition for touches in D.C. in McCaffrey's third season, potentially limiting him to strictly a return specialist and infrequently-used deep threat. McCaffrey's dynasty stock took a massive hit after his injury last year, and fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues should consider moving on. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 138 WR in dynasty formats.
