Luke McCaffrey found a role last season before an injury ended his season.

Have the Washington Commanders fans given up on Luke McCaffrey? All the talk this offseason has been about whether the Commanders will sign disgruntled San Francisco 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk. It's almost like Commanders fans are writing off McCaffrey, thinking he is done.

Ben Standig, who probably leads local DMV media coverage of the Commanders, discussed the Commanders' receiver room on the Sunday episode of his podcast , "Last Man Standig. " Standig did admit early that Washington's newest receiver, Antonio Williams (Clemson), selected in the third round, may end up starting in the slot this season. Want to talk about guys buying in?

McCaffrey, of course, was limited to nine games due to his season-ending injury against the Seahawks when he suffered a clavicle fracture (broken collarbone).
