Latest takes
“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.”
Brooke Morgan· Sep 4“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.”
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.”
Kurt Blakeway· Aug 23“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· Sep 3“The second-year WR is being grouped into the “elite” Chargers WR conversation alongside Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston by HC John Harbaugh.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 1“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.”
Curtis Hirsch· Aug 31

“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 .”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 22“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%.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 21“Ladd McConkey continued his dominance last season, finishing second behind Keenan Allen , who is no longer in Los Angeles.”
Lawrence Iacona· Aug 19“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.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 18“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 .”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 11“Full disclosure: I like Ladd McConkey . I also think Justin Herbert is prime for an MVP-caliber season.”
Wolf Trelles-Heard· Aug 7“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.”
Josh Shepardson· Jul 21“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.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 18“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.”
Jim Moorman· Jul 10
