Who Should I Start? Terry McLaurin or Tucker Kraft

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught five of his eight targets for 125 yards in their victory over the Chicago Bears. This was a new season-high in yards for the Ohio State product. His longest reception of the day came off a 61-yard pass. After struggling through the first two weeks, McLaurin has averaged an impressive 18.0 PPR points per game since. During this stretch, he eclipsed 100 yards on three occasions and caught at least five passes in all but one game. Fantasy managers should continue to view McLaurin as a high-end WR2 heading into Week 9 when he faces the New York Giants, who have allowed the 13th-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft was very productive for the Packers as they were victorious on the road over the Jacksonville Jaguars 30-27. Kraft caught the only touchdown pass on the afternoon from Malik Willis, who entered the game following Jordan Love's exit with a groin injury. With 78 receiving yards, Kraft led the team on the receiving side in Week 8. The Packers' targets are typically spread out among many options, but Kraft has been a consistent contributor throughout the season for fantasy. With the Detroit Lions heading into town for a Week 9 NFC North showdown at the top of the division, consider Kraft a TE1 and as close to a must-start option as it gets at a weak tight end position.
