Still, McLaurin managed to earn eight targets and 152 air yards, which marked his third straight contest earning 150-plus air yards from quarterback Taylor Heineke. McLaurin didn’t miss Washington’s Week 6 contest against the Kansas City Chiefs, but he clearly wasn’t 100 percent, having missed practice as late as Friday of last week with hamstring issues, finishing with just four receptions for 28 yards and his lowest fantasy output of the season.

Ridley’s season has been one to forget so far, having topped 65 yards receiving just one time in his first four outings despite ranking eighth in the NFL in share of team targets, and third in share of team air yards. Ridley missed the Falcons' Week 5 game in London with a personal issue, and then had a bye week, but returned to practice this week and is expected to start in Atlanta's Week 7 contest versus the Dolphins.
