Who Should I Start? Luke McCaffrey or Keandre Lambert-Smith

Tuesday, November 4, 4:48 PM

The Washington Commanders have placed wide receiver Luke McCaffrey (shoulder) on injured reserve after suffering a broken collarbone during the opening kickoff of their blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night. McCaffrey has been an impactful kick returner and made multiple splash plays on offense this season, but is now expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 season. The second-year wideout out of Rice had the third-highest yards per kick return (29.6) and scored three touchdowns on only 11 total receptions as a receiver. The Washington Commanders have been wiped out by injury this season, especially at wide receiver. Veteran Deebo Samuel Sr., rookie Jaylin Lane, and the recently signed Treylon Burks will all be expected to see an increase in targets over the second half of the season.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Keandre Lambert-Smith is a healthy scratch for the team's Week 11 contest on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Lambert-Smith was unable to play in the Week 10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers due to a hamstring injury, but the 23-year-old fifth-rounder returned to a full practice this week and was cleared of his injury. There was some hype around Lambert-Smith during training camp, but he has really only contributed on special teams for the Bolts in his first year in the NFL. He has been active for six games in his rookie campaign, catching just one of four targets for one yard. Lambert-Smith should only be stashed right now in dynasty/keeper leagues.
