Stefon Diggs News
Saturday, August 22, 6:45 AM
The Washington Commanders have listed 15 players who will not participate in Saturday's preseason matchup with the Lions, but NFL Insider Adam Schefter notes that among the starters expected to see action are quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs. After sitting out the preseason opener against the Dolphins, Saturday's tilt will provide the first look at Daniels and crew in first-year offensive coordinator David Blough's system, which should bear a resemblance to the one he ran in Detroit as a backup quarterback. While Diggs topped 1,000 receiving yards in his lone season with the Patriots in 2025, both Daniels and McLaurin struggled through injuries in their second season together. Still, big things are expected in a potential bounce-back year in 2026, and Daniels is RotoBaller's QB3 while McLaurin and Diggs are respectively the WR24 and WR44.

Terry McLaurin News
Tuesday, August 25, 8:09 PM
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is looking to put an atrocious 2025 season behind him. He was limited to just 10 games due to injury, and he finished the year with a modest 38 catches, 582 yards, and three touchdowns. Even if you extrapolate his stats over a full 17-game campaign, he still would have had just five touchdowns and fewer than 1,000 yards. It's certainly not a lack of talent, as McLaurin was the WR7 in 2025. More likely, he struggled as a result of his own inconsistent availability, as well as inconsistent quarterback play. The Commanders cycled through three different quarterbacks last year, and Jayden Daniels missed 10 games. If both McLaurin and Daniels can play close to 17 games in 2026, the talented pass-catcher should return to the top-15 receiver range in fantasy football. The upside is somewhat baked into his current ADP of 52.8, and he currently ranks as the WR24 in RotoBaller's latest draft rankings.
