Who Should I Start? Terry McLaurin or Jalen Tolbert

Friday, December 20, 7:14 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin should be viewed as a top-12 option in Week 16 when he faces the Philadelphia Eagles in a pivotal NFC East clash. McLaurin is carrying a three-game touchdown streak into this matchup. In his past two games, he has found the end zone twice in each of them. Since Week 3, the Ohio State product has averaged a stellar 18.3 PPR points per game with 77.5 yards per game. McLaurin is on track to post his fifth-straight 1,000-yard campaign. However, he has a difficult task ahead of him this weekend, facing the Philadelphia Eagles, who have allowed the fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts this season. In their previous Week 11 matchup, the Eagles held McLaurin to just one reception. Despite his struggles last time, fantasy managers should feel confident starting him in all formats as a WR1, given his strong production all season. In addition, with Noah Brown (kidney) on the IR and Zach Ertz (concussion) questionable, McLaurin could even see a higher target share in this matchup.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert hauled in his fifth touchdown of the season in the 30-14 win over Carolina. The third-year receiver was targeted twice, catching his lone pass in the end zone for 11 yards. Tolbert's usage has not been consistent with both Brandin Cooks and Jake Ferguson in the lineup, keeping him off the fantasy radar for the time being.
