Terry McLaurin News
Saturday, September 19, 6:44 PM
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin had a quiet game in his team's Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, recording two catches for 14 yards on four targets. McLaurin's role in the Commanders' offense was a bit less favorable than fantasy managers would have hoped, as he earned less than half the targets of Washington wideout Stefon Diggs (nine). However, Washington has a significantly easier matchup on paper in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas' defense was carved up in Week 1, allowing 7.9 yards per pass attempt and three passing touchdowns to the New York Giants. If the Commanders' offensive line continues to struggle, quarterback Jayden Daniels may be unable to push the ball downfield to McLaurin for the second straight week. Still, McLaurin should play a much larger role in his team's offense against Dallas and profiles as a solid WR2 option for fantasy managers in Week 2.

Malik Nabers News
Saturday, September 19, 6:45 PM
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers was active despite questions about his status throughout the offseason. Despite limited snaps, Nabers was productive, hauling in six of nine targets for 69 yards in the 28-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The third-year receiver played 36 snaps (third among Giants' receivers) and had a target on every 2.7 routes, the highest rate in the NFL last season. He faces a Los Angeles Rams defense that allowed the 12th most fantasy points to wide receivers last season and struggled against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1. Unfortunately, his snap count will likely remain low as he continues to recover from the torn ACL he suffered during the 2025 season. Fantasy managers should keep expectations in check for the star receiver until he returns to his full-time role.
