Terry McLaurin Fantasy

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin said quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. "looks really good" and is happy with how far Haskins has come since last season. McLaurin had a solid rookie season himself, catching 58 passes for 919 yards and seven touchdowns despite inconsistent play from the QB position. McLaurin added that he thinks the Redskins will throw the ball downfield more in Haskins' second season, a good sign for the speedy McLaurin, who ranked ninth in the NFL with 12.1 yards before catch last year. McLaurin is being drafted as the 26th receiver but has the skills to finish much higher, especially in non-PPR leagues, if he can get better QB play from Haskins.

Washington Redskins second-year wide receiver Terry McLaurin has impressed his new coach Ron Rivera so far. Rivera said that McLaurin has been, "a treat" and "a guy that could be on the verge (of stardom), he really is. He reminds me so much of a D.J. Moore that we had in Carolina. Just an outstanding young man." That's high praise from Rivera, who saw Moore get 135 targets in his second year in Carolina. McLaurin caught 58 passes last season for 919 yards and seven touchdowns despite seeing just 93 targets amidst mostly rough quarterback play. An uptick in targets would be excellent for McLaurin, and should be a benefit to quarterback Dwayne Haskins as well. McLaurin could be in for a huge sophomore season.

Washington Redskins interim head coach Bill Callahan has ruled out rookie wide receiver Terry McLaurin (concussion) and safety Landon Collins (shoulder) for Week 17 against the Cowboys. McLaurin will finish his impressive first year in the NFL just short of 1,000 yards receiving (919). He caught 58 passes (93 targets) and scored seven times. If quarterback Dwayne Haskins can improve in 2020, McLaurin will have high-end upside in just his second season for fantasy owners. With him out in the season finale, the Redskins will be forced to go with rookies Steven Sims Jr. and Kelvin Harmon as their top wideouts. Collins' absence is bad news for a Washington secondary that was already pretty weak. It's great news for Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and his wideouts in a must-win game.
