Breaking down where WR Luke McCaffrey stands over halfway into his rookie season
One of the players I’ve been asked most frequently about this season is rookie receiver Luke McCaffrey. His stat line has been pretty underwhelming, having only caught 13 passes for 134 yards and no touchdowns. But those stats don’t tell anywhere near the full story of McCaffrey’s season to date. He’s been one of the unluckiest receivers I’ve seen in Washington in recent years. There are various charts and tracking stats that list McCaffrey near the top of the NFL for separation and while it’s not quite the case the McCaffrey is just constantly wide open, the Commanders have missed on multiple opportunities to get him the ball when he has been open for a variety of reasons.
