In Jayden Daniels' rookie season, Terry McLaurin posted the best fantasy finish of his career as the WR14 in fantasy points per game. He was fueled by a career-high 13 receiving touchdowns while ranking seventh in deep targets and 18th in red zone targets among wideouts. Among 85 qualifying receivers, he was 32nd in target share (21.7%), 26th in yards per route run (2.17), 12th in end zone targets (13), 30th in first-read share (26.8%), and 17th in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). We saw McLaurin's role grow as Daniels became more confident down the stretch and Washington leaned into their aerial attack. In Weeks 1-12, McLaurin had a 20.4% target share and a 25.4% first-read share. In Weeks 13-18, those numbers rose to 24.6% and 30%. McLaurin is a rock-solid WR2 this season who could approach WR1 status if Daniels takes another step.
