Terry McLaurin Quiet In Season Opener

Sunday, September 8, 8:26 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin had a disappointing season debut, as he caught just two passes for 17 yards. McLaurin was targeted four times (tied for the team high) and missed a potential 70-yard score on the opening play of the second half as Jayden Daniels overthrew him. Daniels could not find a consistent rhythm as a passer on Sunday afternoon, which greatly hindered McLaurin's fantasy day. Fantasy managers should not be overly concerned with the Ohio State product's stat line, as it may take a few weeks for them to get on the same page. McLaurin should remain a solid low-end WR2/high-end WR3 entering their Week 2 matchup against the New York Giants.

Ja'Marr Chase Leads All Receivers Against The Pats

Sunday, September 8, 4:32 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (illness, hold-in) was cleared to suit up shortly before the meeting with the Patriots. Unfortunately, it didn't matter, with Cincinnati dropping Week 1 to New England. Tee Higgins (hamstring) wasn't available. However, while there was a chance of a limited workload for Chase, fantasy managers were still happy to see the green light. Overall, it wasn't a bad game for the wideout, amassing a game-high six grabs for 62 yards. Still, fantasy managers were expecting more from the former LSU Tiger. At any rate, Chase's availability for Week 2 isn't guaranteed if he doesn't get the new contract he desires. Yet, if he's on the field against the Chiefs, he's still a must-start, considering he'll get it together at some point.
