Terry McLaurin vs Josh Allen

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Patrick Mahomes has led the league in passing yards once, and Josh Allen has yet to do it at all.”

“The quarterback who shares the same efficiency is none other than Josh Allen — the first quarterback being taken off the board in most leagues.”

“Josh Allen is terrific, but the QB position is deep. There are at least 14 quarterbacks I’d be willing to have as my starter in a 1QB league. I will not sacrifice an early-round pick for the luxury of rostering Allen when there’s such good quarterback value in the middle rounds.”

“Knowing when to start Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson to maximize their potential fantasy production becomes a season-long planning exercise. Do you start Ja’Marr Chase against Miami in Week 5?”

“Ward’s rough rookie year came in a barren offense, and Tennessee overhauled it, adding Carnell Tate and Wan’Dale Robinson and, crucially, quarterback whisperer Brian Daboll, whose track record with Josh Allen , Daniel Jones , and Jaxson Dart is exactly the profile you want betting on a second-year leap. Cheap, and trending up.”

“With Josh Allen carrying the way as my QB1, Shough will be a nice Superflex option.”

“1 spot in a Superflex draft, I couldn’t pass up Josh Allen.”

“The talent pool is so deep that it’s not worth sacrificing the chance to draft a top-20 running back or receiver for the chance to take Josh Allen , the consensus QB1.”

“Leaving a crowded receiver room in Chicago for Buffalo in the offseason, Moore becomes the de facto first read for Josh Allen on all passing plays.”

“In fact, he and Josh Allen are the only two QBs to have 300 fantasy points in each of the last two seasons.”

“Josh Allen should be the undisputed QB1, but the weekly scoring gap at the position is very narrow. Last season, the difference between Allen, the QB1, and Daniel Jones , the QB18, was only four fantasy points per game. With the position so deep, this further strengthens the case for a late-round quarterback strategy in 2026.”
