Terry McLaurin Viewed As High-End WR1 On Championship Sunday
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin carries high-end WR1 value in the NFC title game when he faces the Philadelphia Eagles. Last weekend, in their victory over the Detroit Lions, he caught four of his six targets for 87 yards and a score. This was his third straight game in which he found the end zone. Since Week 12, McLaurin has averaged an incredible 19.3 PPR points per game. During this eight-game stretch, the Ohio State product averaged 68.1 yards per game with nine total TDs. The last time he faced this Philadelphia secondary, he caught five passes for 60 yards and a score. Operating as Washington's clear No.1 wideout, he is a high-end WR1 in all DFS competitions this weekend, as the Washington offense is centered around him.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught four of his six targets for 87 yards and a score during their upset victory over the Detroit Lions on Saturday evening. McLaurin's best play of the evening came on a screen pass, which he took for a 58-yard score. Later in the fourth quarter, McLaurin would catch a crucial fourth down reception to keep a Washington drive alive. The 29-year-old has now found the back of the end zone in each of his previous three games. Last weekend, during their wild-card victory, McLaurin caught seven of his ten targets for 89 yards and a score. The former Ohio State Buckeye carries elite WR1 upside throughout the remainder of the postseason.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin should be viewed as a high-end WR1 during the divisional round when he faces the Detroit Lions on Saturday evening. Last weekend, McLaurin led the way in their upset victory in Tampa Bay, bringing in seven of his ten targets for 89 yards and a score. His targets were the most on the team. Over his previous seven games, McLaurin has scored in six of them (eight total TDs) and averaged a solid 66.3 yards and 19.3 PPR points per game. During this span, he has seen 8.4 targets per game and caught just under six of them in each contest. Given his role as Jayden Daniels' go-to option, he carries elite upside in a favorable matchup, as the Lions have allowed the second-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season. McLaurin should be targeted in all DFS competitions this weekend.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught seven of his 10 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown during their victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His 10 targets and seven catches were the most on the team. His 89 yards tied him for the most alongside Dyami Brown. McLaurin was quarterback Jayden Daniels' go-to option all evening. McLaurin found the back of the end zone in the fourth quarter on a five-yard strike from Daniels. The 29-year-old wideout has now scored in back-to-back games and eight times over the past seven games. During this seven-game stretch, McLaurin has tallied at least 60 yards in all but one game. He should be viewed as a high-end WR1 in DFS formats while going against a struggling Detroit secondary next weekend in the Divisional Round.
Terry McLaurin A Must-Play In DFS Against Tampa Bay
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin carries high-end WR1 upside in the Wild Card Weekend when he faces the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Last week, McLaurin enjoyed a fantastic bounce-back outing, bringing in eight of his 12 targets for 62 yards and a touchdown. In Week 17, he caught just one pass for five yards. Since Week 3, McLaurin has only scored under 10.0 PPR points on two occasions and averaged an impressive 17.2 PPR points per game over this stretch. During this span, McLaurin saw 7.0 targets per game while tallying 70.5 yards per game. Even though McLaurin caught just two passes for 17 yards the first time he faced this Tampa Bay defense in Week 1, rookie Jayden Daniels has come a long way as a passer during the season, and McLaurin should be expected to have a higher output in this game. Facing a secondary that has allowed the seventh-most PPR points to opposing wide receivers makes McLaurin a high-end WR1 in DFS formats.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin made team history in their victory over the Dallas Cowboys as he caught his 13th touchdown of the season. This is now the most touchdowns caught by a wide receiver in a single season in team history. McLaurin finished the day with 62 yards on eight receptions. He saw 12 targets his way. McLaurin caught this touchdown in the final seconds on a five-yard strike from Marcus Mariota to move Washington up to the No.6 seed in the NFC. This was also a nice bounce back outing for McLaurin as he caught just one of his seven targets for five yards last weekend. McLaurin enjoyed a fantastic season with Jayden Daniels under center. During Weeks 3 through 16, the Ohio State product averaged a stellar 18.2 PPR points per game. McLaurin should be viewed as a high-end WR1 in all playoff competitions.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin had a disappointing showing last weekend as he brought in just one of his seven targets during their playoff-clinching victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Despite the poor showing, fantasy managers should continue to view McLaurin as a low-end WR1 heading into a Week 18 tilt against the Dallas Cowboys. Before Week 17, McLaurin was riding a four-game touchdown streak. Over this four-game stretch, McLaurin tallied six total touchdowns while seeing 7.5 targets per game and averaging 77.0 yards per game. Given his role as Jayden Daniels' go-to option in the passing game, McLaurin remains a must-start option in all formats. Facing the Cowboys, who have allowed the sixth-most PPR points to opposing wideouts, should put him in prime position to bounce back.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle, rest) did not practice on Wednesday prior to the regular-season finale against the Dallas Cowboys. Washington rested a number of its major players and will be an interesting case in Week 18. The Commanders have clinched a berth in the playoffs, but are locked into a Wild Card road game with the NFC East having already gone to Philadelphia. Commanders head coach Dan Quinn has said he intends to play starters, which would make McLaurin a WR1 option against a bad Dallas secondary if he plays. But it's worth watching throughout the week.
Terry McLaurin Has Disappointing Showing In Week 17
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin hauled in just one of his seven targets during their victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday evening. His lone catch went for just five yards. McLaurin had a tough time getting open facing standout Atlanta defensive back A.J. Terrell who shadowed him all evening. Instead, No.2 wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus and tight end Zach Ertz did most of the damage through the air while Jayden Daniels added over 100 yards on the ground. This was only the fourth-time this season McLaurin tallied less than double-digit PPR points in a single game. Coming into this contest, the Ohio State product averaged 22.9 PPR points per game over his past four contests and found the end zone an impressive six times over this stretch. Despite the poor showing, McLaurin remains a must-start WR1 heading into a Week 18 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
Terry McLaurin Off The Injury Report, Is A Must-Start Option In Week 17
According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. McLaurin opened the week as a non-participant and was able to upgrade to limited participation the following day. This suggests that his ankle injury was not serious and should not be a concern this weekend. McLaurin is riding a four-game touchdown streak. During this stretch, he found the back of the end zone six times and averaged a strong 77.0 receiving yards per game. With No.2 wide receiver Dyami Brown (hamstring) ruled out, McLaurin could see a heavy workload in this game. Facing the Atlanta Falcons, who have allowed the third-most PPR points to opposing wideouts, makes him a must-start WR1 in all formats.
