Terry McLaurin Officially Placed on Reserve/Did Not Report List

Wednesday, July 23, 9:04 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin was officially placed on the Reserve/Did Not Report list on Wednesday. McLaurin continues to hold out as he seeks a new contract with the Commanders. The 29-year-old has been disappointed with the way contract talks with Washington have progressed and has not reported to training camp. He hasn't missed a game since 2020 and caught 82 passes for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 touchdowns across 17 games last season. Scary Terry continues to weigh out his options for a new contract by holding out or requesting a trade. The Commanders highly value him and hope to get a new deal soon. Washington's star wideout's fantasy stock could continue to dip while the holdout continues. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation as McLaurin comes in as a high-end WR2 in upcoming fantasy drafts and is ranked WR15 in the latest RotoBaller rankings.

Falcons Exercise Fifth-Year Option On Drake London

Wednesday, April 30, 1:03 PM

The Atlanta Falcons exercised the fifth-year option on wide receiver Drake London on Wednesday, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. This was a no-brainer decision after London posted career-highs in catches (100), targets (158), receiving yards (1,271) and touchdowns (nine) in 17 starts in 2024 in his third year in the NFL. The 23-year-old eighth overall pick in 2022 will now be under contract with the Falcons through the 2026 season, but he could sign a long-term extension well before that if he has another big year in 2025. It was impressive performance for London last year, especially when considering that quarterback Kirk Cousins fell flat in his first year back from an Achilles tear and was benched for rookie Michael Penix Jr. late in the season. It's good news that he caught 22 passes for 352 yards and two TDs in the final three games with Penix. London is a surefire WR1 in fantasy.
