Terry McLaurin

Many benefited from the arrival of Jayden Daniels in Washington last season, but perhaps no one more than McLaurin. The six-year vet caught 13 touchdowns (second most) after totaling 24 during his first five seasons and finished a career-best seventh (15th in PPG) in fantasy points. Despite the success, there is some "sustainability" concern here, as McLaurin's volume didn't change much from years past and he finished outside the top 30 in routes and target share. He's finished exactly 19th among WRs in targets three seasons in a row and has never finished higher than 15th in catches or ninth in yards. McLaurin will require a boost in usage to offset TD regression to the mean in order to sustain WR1 numbers. He's best valued as a mid-to-back-end WR2.

Most of McLaurin’s stats have been consistent throughout his career. His PFF receiving grade has varied from 74.5-86.5 over his six seasons in Washington. McLaurin has been very consistent, with between 900-1,200 receiving yards each season. After a more limited role in his rookie season, he’s caught between 77-88 passes each year.
His 24 contested catches were the fourth-most among wide receivers in the last six seasons. McLaurin caught 70.6% of his contested targets, while those ahead of him had many more targets and a catch rate below 64%. McLaurin’s 70.6% contested catch rate was the best for any wide receiver with at least 20 contested targets in a season over the last six years.
His nine touchdowns on contested catches were the most by a wide receiver in a season over the last six years. He scored 13 touchdowns total after scoring four or five in each of the four previous seasons.
