Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin posted his worst outing of the season last Thursday evening but should be poised to return to fantasy stardom in Week 12 facing the Dallas Cowboys. In Week 11, McLaurin brought in just one of his two targets for ten yards. Before this disappointing showing, McLaurin has averaged a stellar 17.8 PPR points per game with 84.0 yards and 4.9 receptions per game since Week 3. During this stretch, the Ohio State product saw an impressive 6.8 targets per game. Operating as the clear top wideout in the DMV, McLaurin should be in a great position to return to his high-end WR2 status, facing a Dallas secondary that has allowed the 16th-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught just one of two targets for 10 yards during Thursday's Week 11 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. It was a painfully unproductive performance from McLaurin, but he still managed to lead the Commanders' wide receivers in targets and yardage. The veteran receiver's streak of scoring 14-plus fantasy points (PPR) has ended at eight games. He'll look to bounce back as a mid-to-high fantasy WR2 heading into next week against the Dallas Cowboys.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin should be poised for another productive showing on Thursday evening against the Philadelphia Eagles. Since Week 3, McLaurin has been one of the top wideouts in fantasy as he has averaged 17.8 PPR points per game during this span while scoring six total touchdowns. In addition, he has seen 6.8 targets per game in the stretch, with 84.0 yards per game. Last weekend, McLaurin tallied over 100+ scrimmage yards for the fourth time this season. Even though he will face a tough Philadelphia secondary that has allowed the 12th-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts, this game should open up given how explosive both offenses can be, which sets up McLaurin well for another strong outing.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin led the team with 113 yards off five receptions in their loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. McLaurin's best catch of the afternoon came on a short slant that the wideout took for 54 yards in the third quarter. Despite only bringing in five receptions, McLaurin's big-play ability makes him a matchup-proof option from a fantasy perspective. Since Week 3, McLaurin has scored double-digit PPR points in every game. Fantasy managers should continue to view the former Ohio State Buckeye as a high-end WR2 heading into Week 11 when he faces the Philadelphia Eagles, who have allowed the 16th-most PPR points to opposing wideouts.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin should be viewed as a high-end WR2 in Week 10 when he faces the Pittsburgh Steelers. Last weekend, the Commanders did not need to rely on their passing attack as often, which limited McLaurin's opportunities. However, he still brought in two of his three targets for two touchdowns and 19 yards. Since Week 3, McLaurin has averaged 18.0 PPR points per game and has found the back of the end zone six times. Even though the Steelers have allowed the tenth-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts, McLaurin should remain locked into all fantasy lineups this weekend given his role as the clear top pass catcher in Washington.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught two of his three targets for 19 yards and two scores in Week 9. McLaurin opened the scoring by bringing in a one-yard TD reception. Later in the second quarter, McLaurin caught an 18-yard strike from Jayden Daniels to tally his second score of the afternoon. McLaurin has found the end zone six times in his past seven games. Despite his low yardage total, the Ohio State product remains Daniels' go-to option in the passing attack and should remain locked into all fantasy lineups throughout the remainder of the season.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is coming off one of the best games of his season and should be viewed as a low-end WR1 in a divisional tilt against the New York Giants this weekend. Last week, McLaurin posted a season-high 125 yards on just five receptions in their victory over the Chicago Bears. Since totaling just 39 yards across the first two weeks, the Ohio State product has gone on to average 90.0 receiving yards per game with four total scores in his past six games. With how well Jayden Daniels has performed, McLaurin should be locked into all lineups facing the Giants, who have allowed the 15th-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught five of his eight targets for 125 yards in their victory over the Chicago Bears. This was a new season-high in yards for the Ohio State product. His longest reception of the day came off a 61-yard pass. After struggling through the first two weeks, McLaurin has averaged an impressive 18.0 PPR points per game since. During this stretch, he eclipsed 100 yards on three occasions and caught at least five passes in all but one game. Fantasy managers should continue to view McLaurin as a high-end WR2 heading into Week 9 when he faces the New York Giants, who have allowed the 13th-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts.
Oct 27, 2024 8:40 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin should be viewed as a high-end WR2 in Week 8, even if he is without his QB1. Last weekend, with No. 2 QB Marcus Mariota playing most of the game, McLaurin caught six passes for 98 yards. This was his fifth straight game eclipsing double-digit PPR points. During this stretch, he averaged an impressive 83.0 yards per game, at least six targets in each game, with four total scores. Even though the Chicago Bears have allowed the seventh-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts this season, McLaurin should see a heavy dose of targets, making him a safe WR2 with upside.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin led all Washington pass-catchers with 98 yards in their victory over the Carolina Panthers. He brought in all six of his targets, which tied for a team-high. Even though he was without his QB1 through most of the game, the 29-year-old has continued his impressive stretch as he has tallied at least 15.0 PPR points in every game since Week 3. During this span, McLaurin found the end zone four times and has been the clear lead option in the Washington air attack. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring Jayden Daniels' status (ribs) throughout the week, but McLaurin remains a safe, high-end WR2 facing the Chicago Bears next weekend.
Oct 20, 2024 7:29 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin found the end zone twice on six receptions last weekend and remains a low-end WR1 heading into Week 7. Last weekend, McLaurin eclipsed 15.0 PPR points for the fourth straight week and has put his slow start way behind him. During this span, McLaurin has scored four touchdowns and averaged 79.3 yards with 5.3 receptions in each game. Facing a Carolina secondary that has allowed the 22nd-most points to opposing wideouts makes McLaurin a "set-it and forget-it" option this week.
Oct 18, 2024 6:04 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught six of his seven targets for 53 yards and two scores in their Week 6 loss. McLaurin had a modest day from a yardage standpoint but made an impact in the red zone as he caught both a seven and a six-yard pass for scores. After getting off to a slow start to the season, the Ohio State product has now eclipsed double-digit PPR points in every game since Week 3 and has emerged as a solid WR2. McLaurin should remain locked into all lineups heading into Week 7, as he faces a Carolina defense that has surrendered the 26th-most points to opposing wideouts.
Oct 13, 2024 4:37 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin has topped double-digit PPR points in each of the past three weeks and remains a high-end WR2 in Week 6 when he faces the Baltimore Ravens. Since tallying just 39 yards in the first two games of the season, McLaurin has hit the century mark in two out of the past three games and averaged an impressive 88.0 yards with eight targets per game in this stretch. In addition, he has found the end zone twice during this span. Facing a Baltimore Ravens defense that has allowed the most points to opposing wideouts this season makes McLaurin a high-upside play in all formats and should be locked into all starting lineups.
Oct 11, 2024 6:30 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught four passes for 112 yards in their victory over the Cleveland Browns. McLaurin again led the team in yards and tied for a team-high eight targets. McLaurin's longest reception of the game was for 66 yards. The Commanders had a nice lead throughout most of the game and did not need to rely on their passing attack in the second half, which limited McLaurin's fantasy production. However, he remains a high-end WR2 heading into a potential shootout against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6.
Oct 6, 2024 4:51 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin has put his slow start behind him as he has found the end zone in each of the past two games. During this stretch, McLaurin has seen at least six targets his way, including a season-high ten last week. In addition, the top wideout averaged 19.1 PPR points during this stretch, contrasting with the 5.9 he averaged during weeks 1 and 2. Seeing how quickly Jayden Daniels has become comfortable at the helm of the offense, McLaurin's fantasy stock continues to rise weekly. Facing a tough Browns defense, he should be viewed as a WR2 with upside.
Oct 4, 2024 5:37 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught seven of his ten targets for 52 yards and a score as the Commanders dismantled the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon. This was McLaurin's second straight game finding the endzone. The Ohio State product has put his slow start in the rearview mirror, and he has begun to emerge as a solid WR2 in all formats. After catching just eight passes for 39 yards in the first two weeks, McLaurin has formed a strong connection with his rookie QB and has established himself as his 'go-to' option. Fantasy managers should feel confident starting McLaurin in all formats next weekend against the Cleveland Browns.
Sep 29, 2024 7:30 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin broke out of a two-game slump last weekend on Monday evening and should be viewed as a WR2 with upside this weekend as he faces the Arizona Cardinals. Through the first two weeks, McLaurin caught eight passes for 39 yards but flipped the script last weekend as he hit the century mark on four catches with the eventual game-winning score. Even though he was not as productive over the first two weeks, he still saw 23.7% of the team's air yards, his best mark since the 2021 campaign. Given that Jayden Daniels is continuing to develop as a passer, fantasy managers should expect McLaurin's production to only improve as the season progresses. Facing a Cardinals defense that has allowed the 14th most points to opposing wideouts, McLaurin possesses a safe floor and a high ceiling, especially if this game opens up as the current 50-point total suggests.
Sep 27, 2024 5:21 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin led the team in receiving with 100 yards and a score. He caught four of his six targets. After tallying only 39 receiving yards through the opening two weeks, McLaurin had a much-needed breakout game on Monday night. This was highlighted by an impressive 27-yard TD catch, which eventually became the game-winner. Quarterback Jayden Daniels took a significant step forward in his development as a passer on Monday, which suggests that McLaurin could be in store for even bigger games going forward. He is a must-start WR2 next weekend as he will face the Arizona Cardinals in what should be another high-scoring affair.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin will look to get untracked on Monday Night Football when the Commanders travel to Cincinnati to face the Bengals. The Ohio State standout has caught just eight passes through the first two games for a mere 39 yards on 12 targets. Rookie QB Jayden Daniels relied more on his passing game last weekend against the Giants, which is a promising sign for McLaurin going forward. In addition, Commander OC Kliff Kingsbury told the press on Friday that he will find a way to get his No.1 wideout involved more. While his production has been nothing short of disappointing, knowing that he is the clear alpha among wide receivers, it is hard to bench McLaurin this week. In addition, due to how poorly the Washington defense has performed, Joe Burrow and the Bengals could put a lot of points on the board, and could force the Commanders to abandon the run game relatively early. McLaurin is a solid WR3 with upside this weekend.
Sep 20, 2024 9:22 PM EST
The Washington Commanders are looking for more ways to get top wide receiver Terry McLaurin involved heading into their Week 3 matchup on Monday night against the Cincinnati Bengals. "We got to find a way to get Terry more involved. That's on me. He's a fantastic player," offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury said of McLaurin's 39 receiving yards through the first two weeks of the season. The 29-year-old did have six receptions in the Week 2 win over the division-rival New York Giants, but it led to just 22 receiving yards. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels hasn't been looking very far down the field in the early going and has preferred to tuck the ball and run when he's unsure of things. Unless the Commanders start looking down the field more or McLaurin can start improving his yards-after-the catch production, he could remain a frustrating WR3/flex play for fantasy managers.
