Terry McLaurin drills a return timeline as Washington sits at 3-2. No surgery after a quad/groin/hip concern; Week 6 optimism from Dan Quinn, but practice progress remains the key. In McLaurin’s absence, Deebo Samuel Sr., Jaylin Lane, and Luke McCaffrey have shouldered targets, with Noah Brown and Sam Cosmi contributing to a viable fantasy floor. A healthy McLaurin could promptly reclaim WR2/WR1 upside once back in the lineup, especially against Chicago.

Watch Week 6 practice; if McLaurin suits up, expect a return to top target status and red-zone involvement. If not, Samuel, Lane, and McCaffrey carry the upside, while Brown and Cosmi offer ancillary value. Week 6 vs. Bears is the litmus test for Washington’s aerial plan over the next stretch.
