Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Three catches in NFL debut
McCaffrey caught all three of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Buccaneers.
McCaffrey actually led all Washington wideouts in receiving yards in his NFL debut, besting Terry McLaurin by one yard. The rookie third-round pick's total was fourth on the team overall behind running backs Austin Ekeler (52) and Brian Robinson (48), as well as tight end Zach Ertz (28), as quarterback Jayden Daniels spent all game either checking the ball down or scrambling. The rookie quarterback-receiver combo has a chance to develop a strong connection down the line, but both Daniels and McCaffrey are still raw heading into Week 2 against the Giants, which was illustrated by McCaffrey's inability to get his feet inbounds after getting open on a two-point conversion attempt late in the loss to Tampa Bay.

Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Not separating from other WRs
McCaffrey hasn't emerged as an obvious top-four wide receiver to open the season for Washington, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Even after the Commanders' trade of Jahan Dotson this week, McCaffrey hasn't earned a starting role in Washington. It sounds like Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus are pushing for playing time behind Terry McLaurin, and even slot man Jamison Crowder could be in the mix. McCaffrey is relatively new to the wide receiver position after playing it for just two seasons. If McCaffrey doesn't open the season in three-wide sets, it's not out of the question that he finishes 2024 in a prominent role.

Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Facing less snap competition
McCaffrey has less competition for playing time after the Commanders traded Jahan Dotson to the Eagles on Thursday.
McCaffrey strictly worked with Washington's second- and third-string offenses in the first two preseason games, but a lack of talent at WR behind Terry McLaurin suggests it may not be long before the rookie third-round pick gets regular playing time. Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus have been splitting perimeter snaps opposite McLaurin on the first-team offense, with Dotson getting most of the slot work pre-trade. McCaffrey has worked both outside and inside this summer, and at 6-foot-2 with 4.46 speed he isn't necessarily limited to the slot.

Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Catches two passes
McCaffrey caught both of his targets for 30 yards in a 13-6 preseason loss to Miami on Saturday.
The rookie third-round pick has four catches for 55 yards through two preseason games, but each of his five targets has come with the second/third-string offenses. Coach Dan Quinn suggested the WR roles are all up for grabs behind No. 1 target Terry McLaurin, so there's room for McCaffrey to make a move up the depth chart in a hurry even though he's worked behind Jahan Dotson, Olamide Zaccheaus and Dyami Brown this preseason.
