Terry McLaurin Scores Unorthodox Touchdown In Week 4

Sunday, October 1, 6:09 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught eight-of-10 targets for 86 yards along with a fumble recovery touchdown in Sunday's overtime loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. After a few middling outings to start the season, the veteran receiver had his best performance in Week 4. While his receiving statistics would've made for a strong outing, his day was made better due to a Brian Robinson Jr. fumble that McLaurin picked up in the Eagles' end zone for a touchdown. McLaurin was able to pad his stats with this unorthodox score, but hopefully, he can pick up one that is meant for him against the Chicago Bears in Week 5.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Still Looking For Breakout

Saturday, September 23, 4:56 AM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was targeted five times in Week 1 and six times in Week 2, but he is not yet threatening the workloads of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. The 21-year-old has only been on the field for 58% of snaps and the targets he has seen are at an average depth of just 1.9 yards. In Week 3 against the Panthers, Smith-Njigba will line up against Jimmy Chinn or Troy Hill, who have managed most of the slot corner snaps for Carolina in the first two weeks of the season. Smith-Njigba is definitely worth holding but the only reason to start him in Week 3 is if Metcalf (ribs) is ruled out.
