Who Should I Start? Terry McLaurin or George Pickens

Monday, December 1, 1:06 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin has played in only five games this season due to a quad injury, but he had an outstanding game in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. Even on limited snaps, McLaurin recorded seven receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown on a team-leading 14 targets in Washington's overtime loss. The Commanders' top wideout last played in Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs, where he also played limited snaps but made his presence known with three catches (four targets) for 54 yards and a touchdown. McLaurin has had an unfortunate season plagued by injuries, but he will look to close out the season on a high note. He also could be getting second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) back next week against the Minnesota Vikings.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens (calf, knee) was listed as limited on the team's practice report on Monday with calf and knee injuries, according to Todd Archer of ESPN. It's the second straight week that Pickens has been on Dallas' injury report with multiple injuries. The 24-year-old was working through calf and knee ailments last week, too, but he was ultimately cleared for the Thanksgiving Day win over the Kansas City Chiefs and caught six of a season-high 13 targets for 88 receiving yards. He took a back seat to teammate CeeDee Lamb in that one, but he could easily bounce back for better production this Thursday night against a Lions defense that hasn't stopped much of anything in recent weeks. Fantasy managers should have Pickens locked into starting lineups in Week 14 for what should be a high-scoring affair.
