McLaurin caught three of seven targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Broncos.
The yardage was a season low, and it was also first game of the season in which McLaurin had fewer than four catches. Still, he enters a Week 9 bye averaging 5.4 catches for 71.6 yards per game -- down just a sliver from last season -- and has already matched his TD total (four) from 2020. There's also some hope for Ryan Fitzpatrick (hip) to come off injured reserve and provide an upgrade at quarterback, though perhaps not immediately after the bye. Washington hosts the Bucs in Week 10.
