Who Should I Start? Terry McLaurin or Trevor Lawrence

Washington Commanders all-pro wide receiver Terry McLaurin requested a trade on Thursday after contract discussions fell through. McLaurin has been vocal about receiving an extension this year after delivering a career year in the 2024 season. Outside of McLaurin's rookie year, he has delivered over 1,000 yards receiving in every season he's played and remained a healthy option for the Commanders. With star quarterback Jayden Daniels entering the fold, this will be big news that can impact his play and McLaurin's after they connected for 13 passing touchdowns in 2024. As he enters his age-30 season, we will see if the Commanders work harder to get a deal done or decide to ship him off before his final contracted year.

Speaking at the team's first training camp practice on Wednesday, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) said he's 100 percent healthy after missing seven games last year due to a shoulder injury and a concussion, per Jags beat writer John Oehser. Lawrence required season-ending surgery in December on his left (non-throwing) shoulder. "I feel really good," Lawrence said. "It's the best I felt in a long time physically." In addition to rehabbing in the offseason, the 25-year-old former first overall pick spent time honing in on his footwork. Lawrence so far hasn't lived up to his draft billing, but he was a Pro Bowler in 2022 and should be able to have a bounce-back season in head coach Liam Coen's offense in 2025. He'll have a nice one-two punch of Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter at wideout as well, making him a decent QB2 target with upside in superflex fantasy formats.
