Who Should I Start? Terry McLaurin or Keon Coleman

Tuesday, August 19, 10:14 AM

According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, Washington Commanders Terry McLaurin may not find a team willing to give him the desired contract of $30+ million per year. Instead, Russini's sources tell her that most teams view McLaurin as a $27-$28 million player. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor McLaurin's status as he continues a "hold-in" with his team. McLaurin has been seeking a contract extension with the Commanders, but the team has been unwilling to pay him the figure he is seeking. Last season, the former Ohio State Buckeye enjoyed a career year with Jayden Daniels under center. McLaurin found the back of the end zone an impressive 13 times and tallied at least 1,000 yards for the fifth-straight campaign. With McLaurin continuing to hold out, fantasy managers should expect Deebo Samuel Sr. to continue to serve as their top pass catcher.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman appears to be making a good impression on his team early in camp. Recently, Bills' tackle Dion Dawkins commented about Coleman and said he believes Coleman is going to be a special player. Coleman is coming off a rookie season where he hauled in 29 receptions for 556 receiving yards with four touchdowns across 13 games. Now, Coleman figures to take a bigger step forward in 2025. Bills' quarterback Josh Allen recently said that Coleman is having a really good camp. It sounds like the organization expects the 22-year-old to make big strides on offense this upcoming season.
