Who Should I Start? Terry McLaurin or Tyler Warren

Saturday, October 25, 8:48 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is set to return from a four-game absence with a quadriceps injury in Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs. McLaurin will provide a much-needed boost to Washington's passing attack after a tough offensive showing in Week 7 against the Cowboys. The 30-year-old wideout was off to a slow start in the three games he played before getting injured, catching 10 of 17 targets for 149 yards. A slower start was to be expected, as McLaurin missed most of training camp while negotiating a new contract extension. Washington's top wide receiver will be joined back by Deebo Samuel Sr., who missed last week with a heel injury, but will be without his star quarterback, Jayden Daniels (hamstring). McLaurin has had success with Mariota under center, however. He caught six of six targets for 98 yards in Week 7 of last season and then seven of eight targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in just the second half in Week 18. In Week 3 this season, he caught three of four targets for 74 yards with Mariota before getting injured, and nearly had a long touchdown. It's a tough spot for McLaurin to make his return, as the Chiefs have allowed the second-fewest PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers. McLaurin comes in as the WR30 in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 8.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren continued his exceptional rookie season in a Week 7 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Warren caught four of five passes for 69 yards and a touchdown in the win, giving him a score in four straight games. The rookie will now look to make it five in a row in a home matchup against the Tennessee Titans in Week 8. The Titans have been tough on tight ends this season, allowing just the 25th-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Warren has been too good to worry about a difficult matchup in fantasy. He sets up as a top-three fantasy tight end heading into Week 8.
