Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after he was a non-participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. McLaurin might need to practice in full on Friday to avoid an injury designation for the weekend, but he has a pretty good shot to play now on Sunday in the Week 17 contest versus the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football. The 29-year-old pass-catcher needs to stay in all fantasy lineups as well. He'll carry a four-game touchdown streak into this Sunday's contest. In that same span, he's caught 25 of his 30 targets for 308 yards and six total touchdowns. In the last five weeks in half-PPR scoring, McLaurin ranks as the WR10 overall. McLaurin has been thriving in 2024 as impressive rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels' No. 1 target.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin extended his scoring streak to four games on Sunday afternoon. Facing the Eagles, McLaurin brought in five of his six targets for 60 yards and a score. McLaurin found the back of the end zone on a 32-yard pass from Jayden Daniels in the second quarter. McLaurin finished the afternoon with the second-most yards and targets, in which he trailed Olamide Zaccheaus in both statistics. Over his past four contests, McLaurin has tallied six touchdowns while tallying at least 70 receiving yards in all but one game. The 29-year-old should be set up well for another productive showing next weekend against the Atlanta Falcons who have allowed the fifth-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin should be viewed as a top-12 option in Week 16 when he faces the Philadelphia Eagles in a pivotal NFC East clash. McLaurin is carrying a three-game touchdown streak into this matchup. In his past two games, he has found the end zone twice in each of them. Since Week 3, the Ohio State product has averaged a stellar 18.3 PPR points per game with 77.5 yards per game. McLaurin is on track to post his fifth-straight 1,000-yard campaign. However, he has a difficult task ahead of him this weekend, facing the Philadelphia Eagles, who have allowed the fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts this season. In their previous Week 11 matchup, the Eagles held McLaurin to just one reception. Despite his struggles last time, fantasy managers should feel confident starting him in all formats as a WR1, given his strong production all season. In addition, with Noah Brown (kidney) on the IR and Zach Ertz (concussion) questionable, McLaurin could even see a higher target share in this matchup.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught seven of his 10 targets for 73 yards and two touchdowns during their victory over the New Orleans Saints. McLaurin's first score of the game came on a three-yard reception in the first quarter. Then in the second quarter, McLaurin found the back of the end zone on a 16-yard reception. McLaurin's 10 targets were six more than any other Washington pass-catcher. His 73 yards also paced all Washington wideouts. This game extended McLaurin's touchdown streak to three games and his multi-touchdown streak to two. Given his abilities in the red zone and high target share, fantasy managers should feel confident viewing McLaurin as a high-end WR1 during the remainder of the season. He will face the Philadelphia Eagles next weekend, who have allowed the seventh-most PPR points to opposing wideouts.
Dec 15, 2024 4:33 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is set for a strong showing this weekend against the New Orleans Saints and should be viewed as a WR1 in all formats. In his previous game, McLaurin enjoyed his third two-touchdown performance of the season against the Tennessee Titans. Since Week 3, the Ohio State product has averaged a stellar 17.5 PPR points per game with nine total scores. In addition, McLaurin has averaged a solid 77.9 yards per contest during this span. With Noah Brown (kidney) injured and likely out for the season, McLaurin could be in store for a larger target share during the fantasy playoffs. Facing the Saints, who have allowed the ninth-most PPR points to opposing wideouts, should set up McLaurin for a WR1 finish in the bayou.
Dec 13, 2024 5:37 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin brought in all eight of his targets for 73 yards and two touchdowns in their victory over the Tennessee Titans. Both his targets and yardage paced all other Washington wideouts on Sunday afternoon. These eight targets were also his highest total since Week 8 against the Chicago Bears. Both of McLaurin's scores came from within 20 yards. Since Week 3, McLaurin has only fallen below 15.0 PPR points on one occasion and has tallied an impressive nine touchdowns in this span. Fantasy managers should continue to view McLaurin as a high-end WR2 heading into a Week 15 duel in New Orleans following their Week 14 bye.
Dec 1, 2024 5:03 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin should continue to be viewed as a high-end WR2 despite facing a tough Tennessee Titans secondary that has allowed the third-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts this season. Last weekend against the Cowboys, McLaurin tallied 102 yards and a score, which was highlighted by an impressive 86-yard score. Despite catching just one pass in Week 11, McLaurin has averaged a solid 16.6 PPR points in each game since Week 3. Even though Tennessee has shut down opposing wideouts this season, McLaurin should continue to see a hefty target share, making him a safe option with weekly upside.
Nov 29, 2024 6:37 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught five of his six targets for 102 yards and a score in their loss to the Dallas Cowboys. McLaurin was held in check through most of the afternoon but finally broke free as he tallied an 86-yard score late in the fourth quarter to set up the potential game-tying extra-point attempt. Even though McLaurin was having a quiet game, Daniels still looked his way six times, which was third most on the team, behind only Noah Brown and Zach Ertz. Given his big-play ability, fantasy managers should still view him as a must-start option in Week 13 when he faces the Tennessee Titans.
Nov 24, 2024 5:07 PM EST
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.
Nov 22, 2024 5:37 PM EST
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.
Nov 15, 2024 12:42 AM EST
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.
Nov 13, 2024 10:02 PM EST
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.
Nov 10, 2024 4:54 PM EST
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.
Nov 8, 2024 6:04 PM EST
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.
Nov 3, 2024 4:24 PM EST
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.
Nov 1, 2024 8:30 PM EST
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.
Oct 25, 2024 10:03 PM EST
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.
