Who Should I Start? Robert Woods or Terry McLaurin

Tuesday, September 2, 9:39 PM

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released veteran wide receiver Robert Woods from their practice squad, per an announcement from the team. Woods played in 15 games for the Houston Texans in 2024, recording 20 catches for 203 yards. The 33-year-old has been a steadily productive NFL receiver for over a decade, but he could be nearing the end of the road. Pittsburgh does not have much proven wide receiver depth behind top wideout DK Metcalf, so giving up on Woods could be telling of just how little juice the veteran has left in the tank. Even if Woods signs elsewhere, he should remain off the fantasy radar in 2025.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) did not practice all week and has officially been ruled out for Week 10 against the visiting Detroit Lions, according to Ben Standig. McLaurin suffered a quad injury in Week 4 and missed four games before returning in Week 8. The 30-year-old veteran aggravated the injury upon his return, and now he'll miss a second straight game. There have been reports suggesting that he may be out beyond the team's Week 12 bye, too, so fantasy managers could be without McLaurin beyond this weekend. The Commanders are extremely banged up heading into Week 10, as quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) and receiver Luke McCaffrey (collarbone) are out for the foreseeable future. Veteran Deebo Samuel Sr. is going to be force-fed targets, while rookie Jaylin Lane will also have an increased role in the passing attack in D.C. going forward.
