Who Should I Start? Terry McLaurin or Keon Coleman

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin has provided a major lift to the passing game since returning in Week 13. McLaurin has compiled 16 catches on 26 targets for 259 receiving yards and two touchdowns, ranking 16th among wide receivers in yards over that span. The 30-year-old wideout has a golden matchup on Christmas Day against a Dallas Cowboys defense that is allowing a league-high 8.8 yards per pass attempt over the last five games. However, the Ohio State product could be catching passes from journeyman quarterback Josh Johnson, with Marcus Mariota (hand, quadriceps) uncertain to play after missing two straight practices to open the week. McLaurin still profiles as a solid start with upside in Week 17 as Washington's clear top target, ranking as RotoBaller's WR14 in PPR leagues.

Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula pinned the selection of wide receiver Keon Coleman in the 2024 draft on the coaching staff and said that general manager Brandon Beane was "being a team player," and that Coleman wasn't at the top of Beane's list at the time, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Buffalo fired head coach Sean McDermott on Monday and promoted Beane to president of football operations. The Bills drafted Coleman in the second round in 2024 out of Florida State, and he's been a bust in his two seasons with the team, catching 67 of 116 targets for 970 yards and eight touchdowns in 26 games. Not only has his production been a disappointment, but he has also dealt with maturity issues and has been suspended by the team for his actions off the field, which include arriving late to a team meeting. With McDermott now gone, that doesn't bode well for Coleman being able to turn things around in Year 3.
