Who Should I Start? Jamison Crowder or Terry McLaurin

Thursday, January 16, 4:48 PM

According to the team, Washington Commanders wide receiver Jamison Crowder (hamstring) is off the injury report and good to go for Saturday's playoff game against the Detroit Lions. Crowder carried a questionable tag with this same injury last tweet but avoided one heading into the divisional round. Last weekend against Tampa Bay, Crowder logged just offensive snaps and did not see a target. He also was held off the scoresheet during Week 18. However, during Weeks 15 through 17, Crowder caught 2.7 passes per game and, tallied 22.3 yards per contest and found the end zone twice. The 31-year-old should be viewed as a high-risk desperation flex play as he is the clear No.4 option in the wide receiver room and has not seen consistent work throughout the season.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) is out for Sunday's divisional game against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 7, according to Ben Standig of The Athletic. There was optimism that McLaurin might return to action this weekend for the first time since injuring his quad in Week 3 when he was limited in Wednesday's practice. However, the 30-year-old was downgraded to a DNP on Thursday and will be held out for a fourth straight game. Fantasy managers need to keep him on their benches. Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) has already missed two practices this week and could also be in question to play against Dallas. Washington placed Noah Brown (groin, knee) on Injured Reserve this week, which is why they added former Titans first-round wideout Treylon Burks to their practice squad on Thursday. With McLaurin officially out and Samuel questionable, more targets could be coming for Luke McCaffrey, rookie Jaylin Lane, and tight end Zach Ertz.
