Terry McLaurin Questionable After Injuring Hamstring at Practice

Friday, October 2, 9:14 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury during Friday's practice and is now questionable for the team's Week 4 matchup with the Colts in London, England, according to beat reporter Tashan Reed. McLaurin missed significant time in 2025 while dealing with a recurring quadriceps injury, but he has led the Commanders receiver room with a 77.6% snap participation through three weeks. If McLaurin is unable to play in what projects as a favorable matchup, veteran Stefon Diggs would see an obvious boost, but with quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) already ruled out for his second consecutive contest, it may be best to simply fade the Commanders offense as a whole.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba a Clear WR1 in Week 4

Friday, October 2, 8:48 AM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is in another smash position in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers are middle of the pack, allowing 27.43 fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers. However, JSN has not scored fewer than 26.2 fantasy points in a game this season. While he almost certainly cannot maintain his pace to reach 34 touchdowns this season, Smith-Njigba is seeing enough volume each week to push for 20-plus fantasy points. The Seahawks are also fresh off a bad loss to the Washington Commanders. The Chargers, on the other hand, are entering this matchup on a three-game losing streak. As such, Seattle should be able to take care of business in this game, but they will need to use the passing game to do so given that the running game has not gotten going quite yet. Fire up JSN with the utmost confidence this week.
