Terry McLaurin is Well-Positioned to Rebound in 2026

Friday, May 1, 12:40 PM

After missing most of the offseason while negotiating a new contract, Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin battled through an injury-marred 2025 campaign. The 30-year-old missed seven contests with a quad injury, finishing the year with 38 receptions for 583 yards and three touchdowns on 60 targets across 10 games. It was a disastrous year for the Commanders' offense overall, which also got just seven games out of star quarterback Jayden Daniels. Still, both McLaurin and Daniels should be healthy and ready to go for the start of 2026. McLaurin also looks like the undisputed favorite to dominate targets in Washington, as the next wide receivers on the depth chart are the unproven Luke McCaffrey and 2026 third-round pick Antonio Williams. Heading into his age-31 season, age-related decline is a concern for McLaurin. However, his strong track record of production and the situation around him in Washington make him an appealing bounce-back candidate in dynasty formats.

Tetairoa McMillan Dealing With Foot Injury During OTAs

Tuesday, June 2, 5:45 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (foot) missed another OTA practice on Tuesday due to a foot injury that he's been dealing with, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. It's something to watch once training camp rolls around at the end of July, but the 23-year-old second-year pass-catcher's injury isn't believed to be serious and shouldn't cause him to be limited for the start of camp. The 23-year-old was the eighth overall pick by Carolina last year out of the University of Arizona, and he did not disappoint in his rookie campaign. McMillan led the Panthers in receiving and was easily quarterback Bryce Young's go-to target through the air, catching 70 of his 122 targets for 1,014 yards and seven touchdowns in 17 regular-season starts. He should continue to be a high-volume, big-play option for fantasy managers looking for a safe receiver in the early rounds of 2026 drafts. Right now, McMillan is ranked as the No. 16 fantasy WR for redraft leagues at RotoBaller.
