Who Should I Start? Terry McLaurin or Brian Thomas Jr.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) did not practice all week and has officially been ruled out for Week 10 against the visiting Detroit Lions, according to Ben Standig. McLaurin suffered a quad injury in Week 4 and missed four games before returning in Week 8. The 30-year-old veteran aggravated the injury upon his return, and now he'll miss a second straight game. There have been reports suggesting that he may be out beyond the team's Week 12 bye, too, so fantasy managers could be without McLaurin beyond this weekend. The Commanders are extremely banged up heading into Week 10, as quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) and receiver Luke McCaffrey (collarbone) are out for the foreseeable future. Veteran Deebo Samuel Sr. is going to be force-fed targets, while rookie Jaylin Lane will also have an increased role in the passing attack in D.C. going forward.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Houston Texans, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Thomas suffered a low-grade high-ankle sprain in Jacksonville's Week 9 win over the Raiders, where he caught three of five targets for 55 yards. There was some optimism that Thomas would be able to suit up in Week 10, but the second-year wideout was unable to practice this week and could need a week or two to fully recover. The Jaguars are running thin at the wide receiver position with Thomas out and first-round rookie Travis Hunter (knee) on Injured Reserve. Recent trade acquisition Jakobi Meyers, along with Parker Washington, are likely to lead Jacksonville's passing game in a tough matchup against a stout Houston Texans defense in Week 10.
