Scouting report

WAS WR Terry McLaurin - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Terry McLaurin heads into another season hoping that this will be the year he is tethered to a quarterback who will make the best use of his talent. The Commander's offense, helmed by Jayden Daniels, should make heavy use of RPOs, and research has shown that primary receivers in RPO-based offenses do tend to command high workloads. That would be welcome for McLaurin and his fantasy managers this season. If he can see a decent workload in Week 1 against the Bucs, he should be able to make some fantasy noise. The Bucs did rank 31st in aFPA to wideouts last season. Still, it's hard to project him as anything above a low-end WR3 this week.

WAS WR Terry McLaurin - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Terry McLaurin did not enjoy the greatest 2023 season, it has to be said. He eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards for the fourth season in a row, but he posted career lows in yards per reception (12.7), yards per game (58.9) and catch rate (59.8%). McLaurin finished as the WR36 in Half PPR formats.

McLaurin goes into the season with probably the best quarterback situation of his career (stop me if you've heard that one before) with Jayden Daniels all but certain to earn the starting job ahead of the year. But this upgrade is probably not enough to transform McLaurin into a fantasy superstar, making his ceiling probably a low-tier WR2 at best.

WAS WR Terry McLaurin - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs San Francisco 49ers

Terry McLaurin had an OK outing last week, finishing 3-50 on five targets. McLaurin once again is dealing with a carousel of quarterbacks as Jacoby Brissett is taking over as Washington's starter for Week 17. Brissett targeted McLaurin often in Week 15, leading to a season-high 141 yards for McLaurin (93 of which came with Brissett at QB). Brissett only targeted McLaurin twice last week, but he also had just 13 attempts. This week, McLaurin faces a tough 49ers defense (18th aFPA), but San Francisco hasn't been too hard on WRs in fantasy this year. The change at QB could be a good thing at McLaurin, who should be viewed as a decent WR2 option in Week 17.

WAS WR Terry McLaurin - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at New York Jets

The Commanders' offense looked terrible last week, but Terry McLaurin managed to have his best game of the season, finishing 6-141-1 on 12 targets. Most of McLaurin's success came late in the game after the team benched Sam Howell. In fact, his stat line in the 4th quarter with Jacoby Brissett was 3-93-1, and that only came on two drives. Howell is expected to remain the starter moving forward, but McLaurin owners might want to see Brissett back out there. As for Week 16, McLaurin gets a brutal matchup vs. the Jets (1st aFPA) and Sauce Gardner. McLaurin is a mid-tier WR2 option for Week 16.

WAS WR Terry McLaurin - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Los Angeles Rams

Terry McLaurin joked that he got in some cardio during the Commanders' last game as he finished without a single catch. Not only did he have 0 receptions, but McLaurin also saw a season-low three targets. McLaurin should bounce back this week against the Rams (18th aFPA). Although he's been a bit disappointing this season, finishing with 50 yards or less in seven of his 13 games. McLaurin should be viewed as a low-end WR2 or WR3 option for Week 15.

WAS WR Terry McLaurin - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Miami Dolphins

Terry McLaurin had plenty of looks last week, seeing 11 targets. But he finished with just four catches for 50 yards. It was a tough outing for McLaurin against a good Cowboys defense. This week he gets a better matchup as the Dolphins are 30th in aFPA to WRs. We'd expect McLaurin's numbers to rise a little bit from last week. He should be viewed as a solid WR2 option in Week 13.

WAS WR Terry McLaurin - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Dallas Cowboys

Terry McLaurin was OK last week, finishing 5-43 on seven targets. McLaurin's hit a bit of a slump in his past two games, failing to reach 50 yards after averaging 63.1 yards per game prior. His slump could continue into Week 12 as he faces a tough matchup against the Cowboys (10th aFPA). Dallas has given up the 2nd-fewest total receiving yards and receptions to WRs so far this season. McLaurin is seeing enough targets to not be a total dud, but we wouldn't expect a monster game from him this week. He should be viewed as a lower-end WR2 play this week.
