Who Should I Start? DeVante Parker or Terry McLaurin

Monday, May 20, 8:11 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVante Parker announced his retirement on Monday evening. The 31-year-old, who signed with the Eagles in March, was once one of the NFL's most promising wideouts. He spent most of his career in Miami, where he had the best season of his career in 2019 by amassing 1,202 yards and nine touchdowns off 72 receptions. Parker spent a few more years in Miami before suiting up for the Patriots over the last two seasons. However, he was nowhere near as productive as he was in 2019, so New England released him. The 31-year-old will finish his NFL career by totaling 690 catches for 5,660 yards and 27 touchdowns.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) hasn't played since Week 3, but it sounds as though he'll have a good chance to return on Monday night in Week 8 in a showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs. "The plan is to have full weeks of practice for them," head coach Dan Quinn said on SiriusXM's "Movin' The Chains" about McLaurin and receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel). McLaurin has missed the last four games, but Washington has won three of those contests. As long as he doesn't suffer a setback in practice this week, it appears he's on track to make his return this week. McLaurin is typically a must-start for fantasy football purposes when active, but he'll be much more risky against a tough defense on the road if he's back in Week 8, especially if quarterback Jayden Daniels (hamstring) is unable to play. It's also possible that the Commanders limit McLaurin's snap count in his first game back.
