Terry McLaurin

Week 15 vs. Seattle Seahawks

For the second week in a row, Terry McLaurin frustrated fantasy owners with a poor performance. He's finished with two receptions in each of his last two games, and has his two lowest yardage totals (14 & 24) of the season. He's also gone scoreless in five straight games. Despite his recent struggles, there's reason for optimism this week. He faces a Seahawks defense that's allowed (by a solid margin) the most receptions and receiving yards to WRs this season. Expect a bounce-back performance from Scary Terry in Week 15. We like him as a strong WR2 play.

Week 13 at Pittsburgh Steelers

Alex Smith didn't throw much last week, but when he did, he was often targeting Terry McLaurin. Scary Terry finished with nine targets while no other Washington WR saw more than one. McLaurin had another seven-reception game, giving him five in the last six games (and six on the season). In that six-game span, McLaurin is averaging 91.7 yards while not finishing below 70 in any game. While the Steelers do have a great defense, wide receivers have actually found some fantasy success against them. WRs have 14 receiving touchdowns against Pittsburgh this season, which ties for fourth-most in the league. McLaurin can be viewed as a solid WR2 play in Week 13.

Week 11 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Terry McLaurin had another productive game in Week 10, finishing 7-95 on nine targets. This was surprisingly his fourth-straight game with seven receptions, and his sixth game this season with 7+ receptions. He also added 27 yards on a rushing attempt, giving him 122 scrimmage yards, his fourth 100-yard game of the season. There isn't much to like about this Washington offense, but McLaurin seems to find a way to produce no matter what. He'll be a WR1 play in Week 11 in a favorable matchup against the Bengals (No. 31 aFPA). The Bengals have given up 13 receiving touchdowns to WRs, the third-highest (tied) in the league.
