Terry McLaurin News
Tuesday, August 25, 8:09 PM
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is looking to put an atrocious 2025 season behind him. He was limited to just 10 games due to injury, and he finished the year with a modest 38 catches, 582 yards, and three touchdowns. Even if you extrapolate his stats over a full 17-game campaign, he still would have had just five touchdowns and fewer than 1,000 yards. It's certainly not a lack of talent, as McLaurin was the WR7 in 2025. More likely, he struggled as a result of his own inconsistent availability, as well as inconsistent quarterback play. The Commanders cycled through three different quarterbacks last year, and Jayden Daniels missed 10 games. If both McLaurin and Daniels can play close to 17 games in 2026, the talented pass-catcher should return to the top-15 receiver range in fantasy football. The upside is somewhat baked into his current ADP of 52.8, and he currently ranks as the WR24 in RotoBaller's latest draft rankings.

Garrett Wilson News
Saturday, August 29, 11:29 AM
New York Jets wideout Garrett Wilson is entering the 2026 season with a clean bill of health after missing the majority of last season with a knee injury. The 26-year-old was the WR7 overall and averaged 16.6 PPR points per game before being shut down for the season. Heading into this season, it isn't a far stretch to say Wilson will be playing with the best quarterback of his career in Geno Smith. Wilson has played with eight different shaky quarterbacks but still has found ways to produce elite statistical numbers. Wilson is only the fifth player in NFL history to record at least 80 receptions and 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first three seasons. In addition, he is the first Jet in franchise history to start a career with three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. Wilson is currently being drafted as a value as the WR21 on Yahoo. It is within his range of outcomes to finish as a top 10 receiver in fantasy football this season.
