Terry McLaurin Week 5 Outlook - Browns at Commanders

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 3rd 2024, 1:05pm EDT

McLaurin is the WR31 in fantasy points per game, demanding a 25.5% target share, a 54% air-yard share, and a 31.6% first-read share while producing 1.74 YPRR. Cleveland has the highest single-high rate in the NFL (74.3%). Among 78 qualifying receivers, McLaurin ranks 40th in TPRR and 39th in route win rate against single-high. Cleveland has allowed the 12th-lowest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers, but McLaurin could quietly be headed toward a solid Week 5. Kliff Kingsbury keeps McLaurin planted as the left wide receiver in formations, which will work in his favor this week. McLaurin will run about 77% of his routes against Martin Emerson Jr.(65% catch rate and 120.4 passer rating), who has been the weak link in Cleveland's pass defense.
