Who Should I Start? Terry McLaurin or Tank Dell

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin extended his scoring streak to four games on Sunday afternoon. Facing the Eagles, McLaurin brought in five of his six targets for 60 yards and a score. McLaurin found the back of the end zone on a 32-yard pass from Jayden Daniels in the second quarter. McLaurin finished the afternoon with the second-most yards and targets, in which he trailed Olamide Zaccheaus in both statistics. Over his past four contests, McLaurin has tallied six touchdowns while tallying at least 70 receiving yards in all but one game. The 29-year-old should be set up well for another productive showing next weekend against the Atlanta Falcons who have allowed the fifth-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) tore his MCL, LCL and ACL in the Week 16 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday and also dislocated his knee and suffered meniscus damage. He has a long road of recovery ahead of him that will require multiple surgeries. "It would be great if he could participate at some point next season, but it's far from guaranteed he will play at any point next season. It's similar to what happened with Browns running back Nick Chubb. They're both knee dislocations, but not all knee dislocations are the same. This is a much more complicated surgery process," Dr. David Chao said. It's the second straight year that Dell's season has been cut short due to a serious leg injury. However, this one is much more serious and will affect his long-term fantasy value heading into 2025. Despite playing three more games in 2024, Dell wasn't as productive as he was in his rookie campaign, catching 51 of 81 targets for 667 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games.
