Terry McLaurin a Worthy Start for Fantasy Managers in Week 2?

Saturday, September 19, 6:44 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin had a quiet game in his team's Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, recording two catches for 14 yards on four targets. McLaurin's role in the Commanders' offense was a bit less favorable than fantasy managers would have hoped, as he earned less than half the targets of Washington wideout Stefon Diggs (nine). However, Washington has a significantly easier matchup on paper in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas' defense was carved up in Week 1, allowing 7.9 yards per pass attempt and three passing touchdowns to the New York Giants. If the Commanders' offensive line continues to struggle, quarterback Jayden Daniels may be unable to push the ball downfield to McLaurin for the second straight week. Still, McLaurin should play a much larger role in his team's offense against Dallas and profiles as a solid WR2 option for fantasy managers in Week 2.

Zay Flowers Not Practicing Wednesday

Wednesday, September 23, 9:25 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) is not practicing Wednesday after exiting the team's Week 1 win over the Colts with a hamstring injury and missing Week 2's loss to the Saints. Despite playing only two quarters of football, Flowers still sits as the WR18 on the season, a testament to his red-hot start, recording a career-high 150 yards and a touchdown in the first half of the season opener. Ravens head coach Jesse Minter told the media on Monday that Flowers has a "good shot" to play in Week 3 against the Cowboys, but he will likely need to log at least a limited practice first, so his status bears monitoring throughout the week. The Cowboys have allowed nearly 400 yards per game through the first two weeks, making Flowers a must-start if he can suit up for a game to be played in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
