Terry McLaurin

Week 5 vs. New Orleans Saints

It's officially Spooky SZN as Scary Terry McLaurin went off last week. He saw a team-high 13 targets, finishing 6-123-2. He admittedly got a bit lucky on one of the touchdowns, but it counts just the same in fantasy. It's the second time in four games McLaurin has hit 100 receiving yards, and he's had at least four receptions and 60 yards in every game, setting a nice 10+ point floor in PPR leagues. He gets a favorable matchup this week against the Saints, who have given up the fifth-most receptions to receivers so far this season. New Orleans is 25th in 4for4's schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed. Scary Terry should be viewed as a solid WR1 play in Week 5.

Week 3 at Buffalo Bills

Scary Terry had a great outing in Week 2, finishing 11-107-1 on 14 targets. Although his success was tied to a big passing day overall for Washington. It's hard to see another big passing game in Week 3 against a tough Buffalo defense. The Bills have allowed the sixth-fewest total receiving yards to wide receivers so far this season. But even though it's a tough matchup, McLaurin is Washington's only threat at WR, and he'll at least get plenty of targets this week. He may not repeat his 100-yard effort, but he's still a low-end WR1 play in Week 3.

Week 1 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Washington brought in Curtis Samuel to take some pressure off Terry McLaurin this year, but Samuel has since been placed on IR to start the season. So we're back to McLaurin being the only real threat in this Washington offense at WR. It's a role McLaurin has excelled at, averaging 70 yards per game in his first two seasons. He does face a tough Chargers secondary to start the year, but McLaurin has shined in bad matchups before. He rarely has bad games, finishing below 50 yards just four times last season. He'll be a solid WR1 play in Week 1.
