2026 Week 5 Fantasy Football: Terry McLaurin Questionable, Rachaad White Ruled Out for Commanders vs. Colts

The Commanders' Week 5 injury report took a sharp turn Friday, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). Wide receiver Terry McLaurin was added to the injury report late — limited by a hamstring injury — and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts in London. Running back Rachaad White (shoulder) has been ruled out after missing a third straight practice. Quarterback Jayden Daniels (left elbow) is also ruled out.

A hamstring injury that didn't show up until Friday is a legitimate red flag. ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports) notes that late-week additions to the injury report often lead to absences, and there's no indication from the story that McLaurin practiced at full capacity. If he's out, the source reports the Commanders would lean on Stefon Diggs at the top of the receiver group. Fade McLaurin in redraft until his status is confirmed — the risk isn't worth it in a Week 5 spot with no injury history to anchor optimism. In dynasty, hold firm; nothing here changes his long-term value.

Rachaad White

White is ruled out, full stop. Three straight missed practices and a shoulder injury means he's not playing in London. The story doesn't specify who steps into the backfield behind him, so check your league's waiver wire (the pool of players not rostered in your league) for Washington's other running backs. Daniels being out compounds the concern — this Commanders offense is shorthanded at multiple key spots. Don't hold White as anything more than a stash this week in redraft.
