Our Thoughts

Terry McLaurin's Preseason Player Analysis

Bottom Line

Since scoring 7 times as a rookie, McLaurin's TD counts have gone 4, 5, 5, 4.

It’s a lack of scoring that’s kept him from a fantasy WR1 breakout.

We’re not counting on a scoring surge this fall. But we’re intrigued by the arrival of Jayden Daniels, while Washington’s current pass-catching corps should afford another 120ish targets.

At bottom, McLaurin fits best as a mid-tier WR3.

What We Learned Last Year

  • McLaurin battled through a case of turf toe in August.
  • He returned for Week 1 and played alongside QB Sam Howell, who led the NFL in attempts.
  • The former Ohio State star saw 128 targets – good for a 22.2% target share.
    • An inefficient season followed. McLaurin tied or set career lows in TDs (4), yards per catch (12.7), and yards per route run (1.56).
  • The underwhelming season certainly trickled down to fantasy.
    • He finished as a top-15 WR only twice.
    • He ranked outside the top-36 WRs eight times.
  • On the positive side, McLaurin remained durable. He didn’t miss a game for the third straight season.

What to Expect in 2024

  • McLaurin returns for year six. He’s under contract for two more seasons.
  • Washington lost Curtis Samuel to free agency and replaced him with late-Round 3 rookie Luke McCaffrey.
    • McCaffrey is a convered QB who’s on the raw side. Most analysts expected him to be a Round 5-6 pick.
    • Samuel’s absence removes 91 targets from the ‘23 offense.
    • Washington added TEs Zach Ertz and rookie Ben Sinnott. Their presence doesn’t impact McLaurin’s role.
  • QB Jayden Daniels arrives as the second overall pick.
    • He’ll turn 24 in December and brings plenty of experience (55 starts).
    • He’s a top-tier athlete with the ability to extend plays – a theoretical benefit for McLaurin’s downfield upside.
    • Note: a healthy 22.7% of McLaurin’s 2023 targets came on deep balls (20+ air yards).
  • OC Kliff Kingsburry enters year one in Washington.
    • His Arizona offenses ranked 18th, 15th, 18th, and 4th in pass attempts.
    • Kingsburry’s units ranked 1st, 6th, 8th, and 6th in total WR target share. Volume shouldn’t be an issue for McLaurin.

Curtis Samuel WR BUF

Curtis Samuel out for Week 9

Curtis Samuel out for Week 9

Commanders WR Curtis Samuel (toe) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots. He was replaced last week by WR Jamison Crowder, who caught all seven of his targets for 95 yards and a score. We wouldn’t go chasing that production. Samuel’s absence should mean a few extra targets to divvy between WR Terry McLaurin, WR Jahan Dotson, and TE Logan Thomas.

Commanders WR Curtis Samuel (toe) did not practice on Wednesday. He didn't return to last week's game after hurting his toe and is in real danger of missing Sunday's game vs. the Patriots. Jamison Crowder replaced Samuel as Washington's primary slot receiver last week but would be a desperation fantasy play. Samuel's absence would likely mean more targets for WRs Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (toe) is not listed on the final Week 1 injury report. He practiced all week, including full practices on Thursday and Friday. So it looks like McLaurin will be ready to play his usual role vs. the Cardinals this weekend.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (toe) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. He'll play vs. the Cardinals this weekend -- and will seemingly be at least close to 100%.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (toe) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Getting on the field at all early in the week seemingly gives him a good shot to play vs. the Cardinals on Sunday. We'll track his progress over the next couple of days.
