Latest takes
“Terry McLaurin (WR – WAS) Both Finish as Wide Receiver Twos The prediction: both receivers finish this season as at least a top-24 fantasy option. Diggs isn’t washed the way public perception might suggest. He averaged a respectable points-per-game clip last year and ranked top 10 in yards per route run among receivers with 100-plus routes, along with a 90th-percentile mark in targets per route run.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 28“I’ve touted Terry McLaurin as a nice bounce-back option for fantasy managers to seek out this season, but in shallower formats, I’m not certain he has enough star power to really put you over the edge.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 27“Terry McLaurin set career highs across the board in Jayden Daniels ‘ rookie season. If Daniels can stay healthy, McLaurin is set up for another big year.”

“I expect the Washington passing attack to be funneled through Diggs and Terry McLaurin.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 22“Terry McLaurin followed his WR14 season in 2024 with the worst fantasy finish of his career. A quad injury limited him to ten games, and he finished with only 38 receptions, 582 yards, and three TDs.”
Javier Manzanera· Aug 14“Terry McLaurin is still the top target in the Commanders’ passing game. I expect them to be much more successful through the air with David Blough calling plays.”
Frank Ammirante· Aug 11“McLaurin is a target of mine because he doesn’t have much competition for targets of his. The Commanders’ passing game is essentially McLaurin and newly signed Stefon Diggs.”
Jason Kamlowsky· Aug 11“While everyone had high hopes for McLaurin in 2025, injuries to him and Jayden Daniels ruined his season.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 9“The Commanders are desperate for a second pass catcher behind Terry McLaurin”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 6“Round 6: Terry McLaurin (WR – WSH) The Commanders were a train wreck last season, and part of that was Terry McLaurin only playing 10 games.”
Richard Janvrin· Jul 28“With Deebo Samuel and Zach Ertz gone, only Antonio Williams and Chig Okonkwo were added to this receiving depth chart; McLaurin should return to his target hog WR2 ways in 2026. He’s a strong bounceback candidate.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 28“Round 4: Terry McLaurin (WR – WAS) Terry McLaurin was the counter-pick, sitting in an almost identical ADP range as Waddle. The preference here comes down to target-share ceiling: McLaurin’s worst-case target competition still leaves him with a strong floor, while his best case could push into the high-20s percentage range given how thin the target competition around him currently looks.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 20“Terry McLaurin (WR – WSH) McLaurin’s 2025 season was derailed almost from the jump by a training camp holdout that eventually turned into a three-year, $96 million contract extension. That kind of disruption tends to torpedo a season, and it did here too.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 17“Terry McLaurin is a favorite draft target in the fifth round based on ADP.”
Pat Fitzmaurice· Jul 8“Both Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane are fighting for targets behind Terry McLaurin in the Commanders' receiver room.”
Edward DeLauter· Jul 6
“Bhayshul Tuten will share carries with Chris Rodriguez Jr. , but Tuten is the more explosive of the two and could catch passes.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 29“Bhayshul Tuten (RB – JAX) Sometimes there are players the industry rates much higher whom I avoid purely on my gut instinct. Bhayshul Tuten fits that mold. I understand the reason for optimism when you look at Tuten from a top-down perspective.”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 28“Bhayshul Tuten (RB – JAC) Going as the RB25, around the 59th overall pick, right in the heart of the running back dead zone, Tuten carries real explosiveness that didn’t fully show up in his rookie season, which both analysts attribute more to a conservative, ball-security-focused approach than a lack of talent.”

“Bhayshul Tuten (RB – JAC) “My answer really depends on my team build. In a vacuum, it’s Bhayshul Tuten .”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 27“Bhayshul Tuten has enormous upside in 2026, if he can separate himself from the pack. Tuten is currently listed as the co-starter atop Jacksonville’s RB depth chart with Chris Rodriguez, yet it is Tuten that Jags HC Liam Coen has raved about at every possible point imaginable.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 23“Still, Rodriguez is competing for backfield touches with second-year pro Bhayshul Tuten , and Rodriguez could realistically pace the backfield in carries or at least carve out a fantasy-friendly role as a goal-line option.”
Josh Shepardson· Aug 19“Even though I have brought his name up all offseason, calling Bhayshul Tuten a “must-have” on May 8th, he is the perfect back for this article.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 19“Tuten is an explosive play waiting to happen. He is 5-foot-9 and 209 pounds, and ran a 4.32-second 40-yard dash at the combine.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 11“Round 12: Chris Rodriguez (RB – JAX) The Jaguars have Bhayshul Tuten as the primary ball-carrier, but Chris Rodriguez Jr.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 5“Bhayshul Tuten (JAC) — ECR: RB25 | Projection Rank: RB23 | Projected FPTS: 193.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 5“Last yr among 35 RBs w/ at least 25 RZ rush att (per @FantasyPtsData ) Sure… Chris Rodriguez was 6th in rushing success % & had the 13th-lowest stuff % BUT… Bhayshul Tuten was 4th BEST in rushing success % & had the 4th-lowest stuff %.”
Mike Anderson· Aug 3“Rodriguez will remain a worry for Tuten at the goal line and to his overall touch count until we see his role fleshed out this season, but if he can be the clear lead guy, he has the talent to match Etienne’s RB13 finish last year in fantasy points per game.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 28“This could be the big breakout season for Tuten, who, on a per-touch basis, flashed the immense talent that I really liked when he was in college.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 28“With Travis Etienne Jr. now in New Orleans, there are now more than 250 vacated touches in Jacksonville for Bhayshul Tuten and new running back addition Chris Rodriguez Jr.”
Ryan Kirksey· Jul 24“The Bhayshul Tuten hype train has only continued to grow this offseason. Despite the threat of newly acquired Chris Rodriguez, Tuten’s ADP has been on a steady rise this summer.”
Jonathan Lange· Jul 23
