Washingtons Week 6 plan takes a hit as Terry McLaurin is ruled out with a quad and Noah Brown is sidelined against Chicago, leaving Deebo Samuel as a question mark if he plays. McLaurin could return in Week 7 when Washington visits Dallas, resetting the receiving corps. The offense has battled injuries this season while McLaurin works to rebound after a slow start and a hefty new contract.

McLaurin posted 82 catches for 1,096 yards and 13 TDs last season and has reached 1,000 receiving yards in five straight years, underscoring his upside when healthy. The Week 6 absence may boost ancillary pass-cinders and shift targets in the short term, with Week 7 looming as a potential return moment for fantasy rosters.
