Luke McCaffrey

Luke McCaffrey's brother was the final pick in Round 3 by the Washington Commanders. They were in need of a slot WR, and the younger LMC can fill that void in Kliff Kingsbury's offense. McCaffrey has not been playing WR for very long, but possesses elite athletic bloodlines that have helped him make the switch.

Usually, you don't chase the draft capital of WRs that go well ahead of consensus, but McCaffrey's Day 2 draft capital needs to put fantasy managers on notice.

In his final season at Rice, he commanded a 30% target share (5th) and ranked 9th in total unique routes run.

The Washington Commanders have selected WR Luke McCaffrey with the No. 100 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

McCaffrey is a big slot wide receiver who should fill a role as a solid possession wide receiver for the Commanders. McCaffrey should see playing time behind Jamison Crowder in the slot, as long as he can begin to build rapport with rookie QB Jayden Daniels.
