Terry McLaurin
vs Jadarian Price

“Terry McLaurin is the WR37 in fantasy points per game, with his best showing of the season last week as the WR14 in weekly scoring. McLaurin is tied for the team lead with a 22% target share, 1.40 YPRR, two red zone targets, four deep targets, and a 28.4% first-read share (leads the team). This week, McLaurin faces an Indy pass defense that has utilized single high at the ninth-highest rate (57.1%).”

“McLaurin: Targets and share held roughly flat (27.0% adjusted → 28.1% adjusted), continuing as Washington’s clear passing-game priority — but for the second straight week, a real, meaningful gain of his was taken away by replay review (see Replay Reversal above).”

“McLaurin was a favorite of mine at cost this offseason, as despite his down performance in 2025, his underlying metrics were still good. McLaurin’s playing style and archetype, as primarily a downfield player, mean his production will always have a bit of variance to it, but you should start him as a fringe WR2 moving forward. Drake Maye’s Awful Start Drake Maye ‘s sophomore season in 2025 was incredible, as he finished first among quarterbacks in adjusted yards per attempt and Expected Points Added (EPA).”

“Against two high, McLaurin has had a 24% target-per-route-run rate, but he has produced only 1.12 YPRR. Even if the coverage structure leaned in McLaurin’s favor, I wouldn’t expect much from him against a secondary that has allowed the fourth-fewest yards per target and fantasy points per target to perimeter wide receivers this season. Sit McLaurin this week, if possible.”

“Terry McLaurin has also struggled to start the season, but his outlook for the near future is not as bright as Jamo’s. Jayden Daniels ’ elbow injury makes McLaurin a shaky flex play until he returns. Carnell Tate might end up being a product of a bad situation with Cam Ward struggling so far, and he can stay on your bench until something changes.”

“Though he led the Commanders in targets (9) and receiving yards (50), McLaurin’s season-long outlook is concerning because of the rise of Stefon Diggs and the nasty, dislocated elbow injury Jayden Daniels suffered. We don’t yet have a timeline for how long Daniels will be out, but I expect this injury to cost him several weeks, and veteran Marcus Mariota will fill in his stead. The major thought I had going through this weekend: if McLaurin isn’t able to have a big game against the Dallas secondary, what will it take?”

“Going back to the Commanders’ offense, Terry McLaurin had a scary bad game for a 31-year-old receiver in the late stages of his career. He finished the afternoon with just two receptions on four targets for 14 receiving yards. He managed just an 11% target share and 0.40 yards per route run (YPRR), basically just running cardio the entire game.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Jadarian Price Might Be in the Doghouse Jadarian Price was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday due to a chest injury, but he was a full participant on Friday and had no injury designation. Gamers who just glance at the box score might think the three-way split is the product of Price being banged up. That might not be the case.”

“Jadarian Price is a bit of a mystery box after spending most of his college career behind Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame. He wasn’t asked to catch many passes, but that doesn’t mean he can’t.”

“Beat writer predicts "heavy dose" of George Holani Rookie Jadarian Price is ready to lead the Seattle Seahawks' backfield while it waits for Zach Charbonnet to return.”

“Jadarian Price (RB – SEA) Going in a similar range to Tuten, Price offers a real boom case if his skill set fits his team’s scheme as well as expected, potentially relegating the incumbent starter to a backup role once that player returns from a serious injury.”

“Seattle lost Kenneth Walker III in free agency, while Zach Charbonnet is coming off a torn ACL and likely won’t be ready to play until the midway point of the season. Therefore, Price has a chance to be a massive steal with this draft pick, especially given his play at the start of training camp.”

“Price is a wonderful rushing talent ranking 25th and fifth in yards after contact per attempt, 31st and 3rd in breakaway rate, and 15th and 39th in elusive rating over the last two seasons in college (per PFF). Price is an intriguing RB2 with a ton of upside in 2026.”

“Jadarian Price was selected in the first round of the NFL Draft by the Seahawks to be their new Kenneth Walker (and maybe more). Walker led the backfield last year for Seattle, but they limited his usage in the red zone and in the passing game.”

“Round 7: Jadarian Price (RB – SEA) Fellow Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet is still recovering from his knee injury, meaning first-round rookie Jadarian Price has a chance to become the lead back.”

“Jadarian Price has a chance to lead this backfield with Zach Charbonnet still recovering from his knee injury. Price is explosive, and I’ll be curious to see if he gets passing game work in the NFL.”
