Who Should I Start? Allen Lazard or Terry McLaurin

Saturday, November 22, 12:24 AM

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard (coach's decision) has been inactive for the last two weeks, and he's trending toward being a healthy scratch again in Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens. Lazard went from playing 78 percent of the snaps in Week 8 to being a healthy scratch for the Jets' next game, and he has been inactive ever since, even with the Jets trying to find ways to replace Garrett Wilson (knee). So far, Adonai Mitchell, John Metchie III, Tyler Johnson, Arian Smith, and Isaiah Williams have been the Jets' preferred replacements for Wilson, leaving Lazard as the odd man out. With all five of those receivers healthy, it looks like Lazard is heading for more of the same. Don't expect him to suit up against Baltimore.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) has been cleared from the injury report and will play in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football. McLaurin missed four games after initially injuring his quad in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders, then reaggravated the injury in Week 8 versus the Kansas City Chiefs and hasn't played since. The Ohio State product was a full participant in Thursday's practice before getting a rest day on Friday. McLaurin looked great in the limited number of snaps he played against the Chiefs, catching three of his four targets for 54 yards and a touchdown. He'll provide a major lift to a Washington offense that has been decimated by injuries and will be without second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) for the third straight game. It's a tough matchup for McLaurin to return for, as the Broncos will be getting star cornerback Patrick Surtain II (pectoral) back on Sunday night. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR39 in PPR leagues for Week 13.
