Who Should I Start? Luke McCaffrey or Ryan Flournoy

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.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy took advantage of his opportunities earlier in the season with CeeDee Lamb missing three weeks due to an ankle injury. Flournoy had a career day in Week 5 against the Jets, catching six of his nine targets for 114 yards. The 26-year-old has since slid back into a rotational role with Lamb back healthy, but he's still finding ways to make an impact. Flournoy caught his first career touchdown in Dallas' Week 9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals while playing 67.2% of the snaps, his most since Week 6, before Lamb returned to the lineup. Flournoy has the size and athleticism to be a part of the Cowboys ' wide receiver sets alongside Lamb and George Pickens, and could still have some deep league fantasy value in the Cowboys' high-volume passing attack. Dallas will be on primetime again on Monday Night Football at the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11 when they return from their bye.
