Terry McLaurin vs Jameson Williams

“I expect the Washington passing attack to be funneled through Diggs and Terry McLaurin.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“While everyone had high hopes for McLaurin in 2025, injuries to him and Jayden Daniels ruined his season.”

“The Commanders are desperate for a second pass catcher behind Terry McLaurin”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Terry McLaurin is a favorite draft target in the fifth round based on ADP.”

“Both Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane are fighting for targets behind Terry McLaurin in the Commanders' receiver room.”

“Jameson Williams (WR – DET) | Over 1,028 Receiving Yards + Over 208.4 Fantasy Points We close out our recommendations with a player who’s sure to be completely overlooked because of his name rather than his production. Jameson Williams finished last season with 65 receptions and turned that into 1,100 yards.”

“Getting Jameson Williams as my WR2 feels great. I think he scores a bit more in standard scoring due to his big-play ability, and we don’t have to rely on high volume like in PPR.”

“Perhaps the ceiling gets capped slightly if Jameson Williams trends upwards and Sam LaPorta is healthier, but the Lions were bad last season, and the most important thing is that they might have a competent play-caller once again in Drew Petzing. The team has said they want to lean into what Jared Goff does best by using play-action passes heavily.”

“Jameson Williams (WR – DET) Going as the WR28, Williams finished with 1,117 receiving yards last year, tied for eighth among all wide receivers, and is now a two-time 1,000-yard receiver averaging an elite 11 yards per target each of the past two seasons.”

“Tet is the one who already showed us the workload and is still being priced like we’re guessing.” – Jay Henry Ocho ( Jay Henry Ocho ) Jameson Williams (WR – DET) “ Jameson Williams is the type of player that can perform like a WR1 more often than he performs like a WR3.”

“Williams has posted two straight 1,000-yard seasons, and the usage shift that fueled his second one wasn’t just about a teammate’s absence, but a genuine in-season change in play-calling that got him the ball closer to the line of scrimmage to use his after-the-catch ability rather than deploying him purely as a decoy running deep routes.”

“The Fantasy Hitman was hoping to get Christian Watson before being sniped, so he settled for another explosive home run hitter in Williams. With his trio of WRs including the uncertainty in Nabers, Williams adds a big-play element to the consistency of Smith and gives Mike a very solid start to his draft.”

“20 come from two buckets: Hyper-specified role players (Stefon Diggs, Rashee Rice) Guys with other top 24 or strong ancillary target competition (Both Rams WRs, Jameson Williams, CeeDee Lamb, Tee Higgins, Quentin Johnston with Ladd McConkey/Keenan Allen) You may notice there’s one guy on this list who fits in neither, and it’s Thundering Herd legend Christian Watson (shout out to NDSU).”

“Despite finishing WR21 in PPR points per game, Jameson Williams remains too volatile to trust in lineups.”

“Jameson Williams is always electrifying to watch, and he’s coming off a season where he caught 65 passes for 1,117 yards and seven touchdowns.”

“Jameson Williams is one of the most volatile wideouts in fantasy. Think back to the beginning of last season, when he gave you dud after dud, making you consider benching him, only to watch him go off in the one time you didn’t start him.”

“Jameson Williams (WR – DET) Anyone who plays in best ball fantasy football leagues loves the thought of drafting Williams. The former Alabama star is one of the most dangerous players in the NFL when at his best and can score a touchdown on nearly any play.”
