Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Terry McLaurin

Friday, October 10, 11:26 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Lockett was once considered a top wideout in the National Football League. Unfortunately, it appears those days are well behind him. In his first five games as a Titan, he's caught only seven passes (16 targets) for 52 yards. While the veteran had his first touchdown of the year in Week 5 against the Cardinals, it wasn't as a pass-catcher. Instead, it came after a wild sequence of events that included a Cam Ward interception followed by a Dadrion Taylor-Demerson fumble. With the Titans coming off a win, their first of the 2025 campaign, the team will look for another victory on Sunday versus the Raiders. Like Tennessee, Las Vegas hasn't looked good throughout the season. With that in mind, despite the favorable matchup on tap, Lockett hasn't played well enough to be classified as a starting option in any fantasy format.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) was not seen on the practice field on Thursday during the portion open to the media, according to Ben Standig of The Athletic. McLaurin returned to a limited practice on Wednesday for the first time since injuring his quad in Week 3, but a downgrade to a DNP reminds us that he's not a lock to return in Week 7 against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, even if it's just a maintenance day. Additionally, it appears fellow wideout Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) is missing a second straight practice, so there are some concerns about Washington's WR depth heading into the weekend. The team also placed Noah Brown (groin, knee) on Injured Reserve this weeek. At best, McLaurin will likely be questionable heading into Sunday's game, and he could has his snaps monitored if he puts an end to a three-game absence. McLaurin's Friday status will be crucial.
