Terry McLaurin

Terry McLaurin experienced a steep drop-off last year after his banner WR14 campaign in 2024. Ultimately, the Washington offense took a massive step back, and McLaurin was dealing with a quad injury for much of last season, which limited him to ten games played. In those ten games, yes, he was the WR33 in fantasy points per game, but his per-route metrics remained stellar. Among 109 qualifying receivers, McLaurin ranked 25th in target per route run rate (24%), 13th in yards per route run (2.38), fourth in first downs per route run (0.135), and 26th in route win rate (per Fantasy Points Data). 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.

Terry McLaurin caught all four of his targets for 57 yards in a 24-17 win over the Eagles in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact

McLaurin finished as the Commanders' receiving leader in the season-ender. The veteran did not live up to expectations in 2025, appearing in just 10 games due to injury. He wound up with just 38 catches for 582 yards and three touchdowns along the way. McLaurin is a candidate to post a bounce-back season for Washington in 2026.
