The Washington Commanders will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Terry McLaurin.
Updated at 10:30 PM ET
For those of you coming here looking to see if McLaurin is injured, he is not. However, he had no targets in the first quarter vs. the Eagles during the Commanders’ three possessions. He has 9 receptions on 13 targets in first quarters this season.
But, do not fret. McLaurin has 57% of his catches and 55% of his receiving yards after halftime this season. Further, three of his six touchdowns have come in the fourth quarter. So there is still hope for a strong second half.

McLaurin is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play on Thursday.

Should You Start or Sit Terry McLaurin in Week 11?
Another week, another dime. Terry McLaurin and Jayden Daniels hooked up on a 28-yard gain last week against the Steelers, a perfectly defended route that included the sideline serving as a second defender — it didn’t matter. This connection isn’t just good for a tandem in their first season together, it’s good by any standard of statistical measurement.
- 2023: 26th percentile in the percentage of fantasy points gained relative to expectation
- 2024: 93rd percentile in the percentage of fantasy points gained relative to expectation
McLaurin has more touchdown catches than all of his teammates combined this season and more receiving yards than the next two most popular Washington receivers combined. There’s no question as to who the top dog in this receiver room is, and alpha WRs have had success against the Eagles when getting anything close to average QB play.
- Jayden Reed (Week 1): 33.1 PPR points
- Drake London (Week 2): 17.4 PPR points
- Chris Olave (Week 3): 20.6 PPR points
- Mike Evans (Week 4): 23.4 PPR points
- Ja’Marr Chase (Week 8): 20.4 PPR points
You’re starting McLaurin weekly without question and likely in a good spot in your standings due to you spending a sixth-round pick on this difference-maker.

PFN Insight on the Eagles’ Defense
We have not talked much about the Philadelphia Eagles’ defense, but it has been somewhat quietly excellent this season. In Week 10, they were ranked as the best defense in the league by Defense+, marking their fourth top-10 finish in the last five weeks and their third inside the top two in that span.
The Eagles’ numbers are solid across the board, but there are some red flags. In games with Green Bay, Tampa Bay, Atlanta, and Cincinnati, they have ranked in the bottom half for those weeks. Those are the best offenses they have faced this year, while they have dominated against the New Orleans Saints, Cleveland Browns, New York Giants, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Dallas Cowboys.
This week’s match against the Washington Commanders will be a huge test for this defense. Based on the trends we have seen this season, it would not be a surprise to see them rank in the bottom half of teams in Week 11.

Trends and Insights: Commanders vs. Eagles
Washington Commanders
Team: Washington has seen three straight games decided by five or fewer points (just two of their first seven games were decided by five or fewer points).
QB: Jayden Daniels ranks sixth in the league in terms of pressure rating when pressured (for reference, Caleb Williams ranks 26th and Bo Nix 28th).
Offense: The Commanders’ 45.8% of drives reach the red zone, the highest rate in the league and more than 10 percentage points ahead of the Eagles (35.7%).
Defense: Washington owns the third-highest pressure rate when not blitzing (38.2%) through 10 weeks.
Fantasy: Terry McLaurin has cleared 95 receiving yards or scored multiple touchdowns in eight straight games.
Betting: Four straight short rest spots involving the Commanders have come in over the total (this season: 42-14 win in Arizona with a 48.5-point over/under).
Philadelphia Eagles
Team: The Eagles are riding their third win streak of at least five games since the beginning of last season (they, of course, dropped five of six games to close last regular season).
QB: Jalen Hurts has seen his average depth of throw increase in each of the past three weeks (Week 10 at Dallas: season-high 10.9 yards).
Offense: Philadelphia ranks sixth in yards per completion this season (they ranked 15th a season ago).
Defense: Through 10 weeks this season, only the Bears and Chargers have a better red zone defense than the Eagles.
Fantasy: On Sunday, for the third time in four games, Hurts ran for multiple scores while completing 70% of his passes. He’s normalized something that is a unique occurrence for all other human beings.
Consider this: the rest of the NFL has three such games this season.
Betting: Six straight Eagle home games played on short rest have gone over the total (average over margin: 18.2 PPG).
