Terry McLaurin

McLaurin falls into WR3 territory. The matchup is brutal this week, and his usage thus far hasn't been in line with a consistent WR2 threat. He's only seen a 14.1% target share (63rd) and a 13.6% target per route run rate (84th). His talent is still present, but his numbers haven't reflected it, and it's doubtful that happens in Week 3, running about 81% of his routes against Darius Slay and James Bradberry. Slay has been electric, allowing only a 29.4% catch rate and 25.2 passer rating. Bradberry, in this zone-heavy scheme, has been an All-Pro with only a 36.4% catch rate and 7.0 passer rating yielded.

Terry McLaurin finishes strong in Commanders' loss to Detroit

Terry McLaurin caught four of his eight targets for 75 yards, adding a rush for seven yards too.

Fantasy Impact

McLaurin did not find the end zone in Week 2 but had a much more consistent performance than he managed in Week 1. He had a season-high eight targets, and the Commanders' made an emphasis to get the ball into their star receivers' hands while they were attempting to mount a comeback. Looking ahead, McLaurin should continue to be started across all formats as a solid WR2, including in his upcoming matchup against Darius Slay and the Eagles.
