Latest takes

Terry McLaurin
  • Players like Jaylen Warren , Terry McLaurin , Rico Dowdle , Rashee Rice , Jameson Williams , Emeka Egbuka , Quentin Johnston , and Kyle Pitts can all become interesting depending on where they are still available in your draft.

  • The passing attack should also be better with the additions of Stefon Diggs and Chig Okonkwo to complement Terry McLaurin .

  • 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.

    Kurt Blakeway· Aug 23
  • 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.

    Mike Fanelli· Aug 9
  • 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.

  • The second-year WR is being grouped into the “elite” Chargers WR conversation alongside Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston by HC John Harbaugh.

  • The Chargers have a solid pass-catching duo of Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston along with several reliable ancillary players who raise the floor of the offense.

  • Ladd McConkey and DeVonta Smith were also considered. 4.11: Jaylen Waddle (WR – DEN) Jaylen Waddle is being overlooked as he enters his first year with the Broncos.

    Kurt Blakeway· Aug 25
  • The Chargers have a wide array of weapons for Herbert to throw the ball to – Omarion Hampton , Ladd McConkey , Quentin Johnston , Tre Harris, Oronde Gadsden , and David Njoku – along with speed depth to burn between Keaton Mitchell , KeAndre Lambert-Smith , Brenen Thompson, and Derius Davis .

  • He’s the No. 1 receiver for Justin Herbert , and now Mike McDaniel is the offensive coordinator for the team. Last season, when Keenan Allen wasn’t on the field, Ladd McConkey led the Chargers in target share at 20%.

  • Ladd McConkey continued his dominance last season, finishing second behind Keenan Allen , who is no longer in Los Angeles.

  • Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston , for example, scored 20 points between the two of them every week last season until the Chargers offense hit the wall.

    Joe Harris· Aug 18
  • But with Roman replaced by Mike McDaniel, we should expect McConkey to finish closer to his rookie season, when he averaged 2.6 YPRR.

  • A top‑12 finish is well within reach, giving him legitimate league‑winning upside in year two.” – Lawrence Iacona ( The Architect’s War Room ) “We could take the more obvious route and say Emeka Egbuka or Ladd McConkey .

  • Full disclosure: I like Ladd McConkey . I also think Justin Herbert is prime for an MVP-caliber season.

  • That leaves a sizable hole in the offense, and McConkey should be the biggest beneficiary of those vacated targets.

    Kyle Zeigler· Jul 23
  • Ladd McConkey is my bet for Herbert’s pass-catcher who will benefit the most from better health along the offensive line.

  • After working through it, the analyst landed on preferring McConkey over Tate, citing more confidence in McConkey’s current quarterback situation and offensive environment, along with an already-strong rookie season once his playoff performance is factored in.

  • With Allen no longer on the team, this opens up the opportunity for McConkey to emerge as Justin Herbert's clear top receiver and demand an elite target share. There's a clear path to him earning 150+ targets and hauling in 100+ receptions.
