"With wide receiver Noah Brown missing the contest and Terry McLaurin going out late with a quad issue, this gave offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury the chance to get Luke McCaffrey more involved. The 2024 third-round pick was further down the depth chart than ever after the summer's preparations. He's showing the proper determination to break into the team's plans."
"If there was ever a time for McCaffrey to generate some positive momentum, this was it. The second-year pro needs to build trust. He needs to prove that when his number is called, he can deliver the goods. And considering he's yet to drop a pass this season, albeit from four targets, he's doing enough to keep his foot in the door."
The Washington Commanders controlled tempo in Week 3 and overcame injuries to secure a decisive win over the Las Vegas Raiders, who looked outmatched in all phases. Noah Brown missed the contest and Terry McLaurin exited late with a quad issue, prompting Kliff Kingsbury to involve Luke McCaffrey more. The 2024 third-round pick caught three passes for 56 yards, scored on his final catch, and returned a kickoff for 25 yards. McCaffrey has not dropped a pass on four targets this season and earned visible locker-room praise, signaling growing trust while remaining a work in progress.
