Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Terry McLaurin

Saturday, November 22, 2:18 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett has carved out a meaningful role in the offense after signing with the team on October 27. Lockett began the season with the Tennessee Titans and didn't make an impact with just 10 catches (21 targets) for 70 yards in seven games. The 33-year-old has shown he still has something left in the tank in Las Vegas, totaling more receiving yards (77) in three games with the team. The fantasy upside is still very limited as the third option behind Brock Bowers and Tre Tucker for a Raiders passing attack led by Geno Smith, who has struggled mightily this season. Lockett has some appeal in Week 12 against the Browns in deeper formats, but is best left on the waiver wire in 12-team leagues.

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn is "excited about the possibilities" when asked about his optimism level for wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) returning in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos, according to JP Finlay of NBC4 Sports. Quinn added that they need to see his speed and burst for a few days before the team can get overly optimistic about his chances to return. McLaurin was back at practice on Monday, Washington's first practice after their Week 12 bye, although it was reported as more of a jog through. The 30-year-old wideout suffered a quadriceps injury during Washington's Week 3 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, then returned in Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs before re-aggravating the injury and has been sidelined since. McLaurin has recorded 13 receptions (21 targets) for 203 yards and a touchdown in four games this season, and could be on track to return to action as soon as Sunday night against the Denver Broncos if everything goes well in his recovery.
