Luke McCaffrey Leaves Friday's Game With an Illness
Luke McCaffrey (illness) had a pregame illness and tried to play through it on Friday against the New England Patriots, but couldn't. Dan Quinn says more injury updates will be available on Sunday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports. McCaffrey tried to play in the game on Friday and caught his only target for minus-1 yard, but ultimately couldn't keep going. The 2024 third-rounder is fighting for a bigger role in Washington's offense this season after finishing his rookie season with 18 catches (on 24 targets) for 168 yards across 17 regular-season games, so, understandably, he wants to play as much as possible in preseason action. Especially with the news that Terry McLaurin has requested a trade, opening up a potential opportunity in the expansive receiver room. Regardless, McCaffrey is nothing more than a late-round long shot for fantasy in this upcoming season. He remains a decent dynasty stash. The Commanders' next tilt is on August 18, giving McCaffrey some time to recover.
