Terry McLaurin

Last week, Terry McLaurin LOUDLY announced his return to the starting lineup for Washington with a WR8 finish while seeing a 28% target share with a 36.1% air-yard share, 96 receiving yards (3.00 yards per route run), and a 27.5% first-read share. He had five red zone targets and two deep targets. I don't think McLaurin stays in the flames this week. Minnesota has utilized two high at the highest rate in the NFL (66.4%). Against two high this season, McLaurin has had a 14.3% target share with 1.76 yards per route run and a 15.8% first-read share. Since Week 9, Minnesota has allowed the eighth-fewest PPR points per target and the seventh-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Terry McLaurin hauled in 7-of-14 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in Sunday night's 27-26 OT loss to the Denver Broncos.

Fantasy Impact

McLaurin was a bright spot for the Commanders on Sunday night. He was able to finish with seven catches for 96 yards and a score, although he left some production out on the field with seven other targets not being hauled in. Still, fantasy managers should be well pleased with his performance in this game and should expect him to continue to have more performances like this down the stretch.
