Terry McLaurin Sees Commanders Offense As The Start Of Something Special
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin has had a career marred by constant quarterback changes and organizational dysfunction. Through it all, McLaurin has recorded four straight 1,000-yard seasons. His talent has constantly been on display with highlight-reel catches, and he has been a consistently solid presence in Washington's receiving core. With rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels stepping in, McLaurin feels the Commanders offense could be headed somewhere special. For fantasy football's sake, hopefully, McLaurin is correct. Daniels brings stability to the quarterback position and should provide McLaurin and the other receivers with one single presence throughout the season. McLaurin has a chance to build on his 1,002-yard and four-touchdown season in 2023. As roughly the WR33 in fantasy drafts, McLaurin could provide your team with solid value even with a rookie quarterback slinging the rock.
Terry McLaurin Hauls In Six Receptions During Season Finale
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught six of eight targets for 56 yards during Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Another year, another what-if season for McLaurin. Although the fifth-year receiver had his fourth-straight 1,000-yard season, middling quarterback play still held him back for most of the year. Nothing exemplified this more than quarterback Sam Howell underthrowing a wide-open McLaurin for what would've been a 51-yard touchdown on Washington's first possession of Week 18. There is light at the end of the tunnel for this offense, as the Commanders are locked into the second pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. If the team selects one of the blue-chip quarterback prospects, McLaurin's fortunes could finally take a turn for the better next season.
Coming off a solid game in Week 17, Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is looking to carry over his success into the final week of the regular season. This week, the Commanders are taking on the Dallas Cowboys. In their previous matchup, Dallas put a beat down on Washington during a blowout where McLaurin had a middling performance overall. However, the fifth-year receiver saw 11 targets during that matchup, so he was involved at least. With the rough matchup and the Commanders having no reason to win, McLaurin isn't a very inspiring option, but he's still a backend WR2 in Week 18.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught four of six targets for 61 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Although it was mostly a quiet day for Washington's offense, McLaurin still put up some decent stats on the back of his production during a singular drive. Late in the second quarter, the fifth-year receiver hauled in three receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown on the Commanders' only touchdown drive of the game. With Washington's quarterback situation still in question, McLaurin will aim to issue a repeat performance against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 18.
What seemed like a good week for Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is now much more questionable due to a recent injury to his quarterback. With Jacoby Brissett (hamstring) being listed as questionable for Week 17, the Commanders might have to turn back to struggling quarterback Sam Howell against a vaunted San Francisco 49ers defense. While the 49ers have been more of a pass-funnel defense this year, Howell running the offense offers much less stability than if Brissett were available for this game. If Brissett ends up playing, McLaurin could be considered as high as a WR2. However, if Howell starts, it'd be hard to consider him anything more than a WR3/flex play. Monitor the status of Washington's quarterback situation for a clearer outlook on McLaurin heading into Week 17.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught three of five targets for 50 yards during Sunday's loss to the New York Jets. After last week's boom performance, the fifth-year receiver ended up hauling in just three passes against a tough Jets pass defense. Even with his underwhelming stat line, the silver lining here is that there could be a quarterback change coming in Week 17. With quarterback Jacoby Brissett playing well in relief for the second week in a row, McLaurin could benefit as he's shown much better chemistry with him than with usual starter Sam Howell. If there is a change, he could be a solid start for most rosters against the San Francisco 49ers.
After having his best performance of the season in Week 15, Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin has the tall task of taking on one of the best defenses in the league this week. In Week 16, the Commanders are taking on the New York Jets. This season, the Jets defense has allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers. That makes this a pretty tough spot for the fifth-year wide receiver. You'd like to start him after last week's strong outing, but the matchup provides a fairly bleak outlook for McLaurin. Consider him a WR3/flex play against the Jets in Week 16.
Terry McLaurin Explodes For 141 Yards Against Rams
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught six of 12 targets for 141 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. After making no impact on the box score during Washington's previous game, McLaurin had himself a huge day in Week 15. While it may look nice, what's concerning is that his significant production came when the Commanders benched quarterback Sam Howell and replaced him with Jacoby Brissett. With Brissett, the fifth-year receiver had three catches for 93 yards and a touchdown. Considering head coach Ron Rivera has already committed to Howell as next week's starter, McLaurin may have to continue to deal with Washington's offensive inconsistency. With the New York Jets on the schedule for Week 16, try not to expect a repeat performance.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin has been on a rough stretch. While he hasn't impressed often, he hit a new low during Washington's last game in Week 13 when he put up a big nothing in the box score. In Week 15, the Commanders will head on the road to face the Los Angeles Rams. The hope is that the fifth-year receiver can pick up the pace, but the targets in this offense have been too spread out, although there have been plenty. Considering he put up nothing in their last game, there could be a concerted effort to get him the ball. However, that's a tough thing to rely on during the later weeks of the season. He could bounce back, but consider McLaurin a risky option in Week 15.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught none of his three targets during Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. Week 13 was a week the Commanders would like to forget, especially McLaurin. Although most saw this as a bad matchup, the fifth-year receiver was expected to see some usage in garbage time at least. Unfortunately, that was not the case as he looked like an afterthought in this offense while not recording a catch for only the second time in his career. With an upcoming bye in Week 14, the hope is that this Washington offense can regroup and get their top receiver more involved against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 15.
