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 head coach Dan Quinn said that wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) will practice this week, but "he's not yet sure what to expect for Sunday" in the Week 7 contest against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys, according to John Keim of ESPN. The Commanders are holding more of a jog-through practice on Wednesday, so we'll have a better assessment of McLaurin's status after Thursday and Friday. We'll update you later on the 30-year-old's participation status on Wednesday, but it's a good sign that McLaurin could return to action after missing the last three games. Washington just placed Noah Brown (groin, knee) on Injured Reserve, so they could use reinforcements at the WR position for a solid matchup this weekend against Dallas. As long as McLaurin isn't limited if he returns this Sunday, he should be tossed back into starting fantasy lineups if he gets the green light later this week.
