Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quad) could return to the lineup in Week 7, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The former Ohio State star is slated to miss his third consecutive game on Monday against the Chicago Bears, although it appears next week's game against the Dallas Cowboys could be in play. McLaurin has not yet had a breakout week this season after scoring a new contract, but he finished as PPR WR No. 7 last year and figures to be highly involved once back to full health.

The Minnesota Vikings are on a bye in Week 6, but their return to the field could have fantasy implications for wide receiver Justin Jefferson. Quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) has not played since Week 2, but the team is targeting Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles as his projected return. Jefferson drew 6.5 targets in two games with McCarthy compared to 9.7 with backup Carson Wentz, though Minnesota has been much more intentional about getting their star wideout the ball in the past two weeks, throwing his way a robust 22 times. Despite Minnesota facing tons of injury issues on the offensive line and both opponents surely game-planning for Jefferson to be heavily featured, he still put up 100-yard efforts in both games. Among fantasy receivers, Jefferson is about as QB-proof as there is, but McCarthy's return still will be a variable worth monitoring.
