Terry McLaurin Week 16 Outlook - Eagles at Commanders

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 19th 2024, 1:05pm EST

McLaurin is the WR14 in fantasy points per game, ranking seventh in receiving yards and second in total touchdowns. I really wanted to put him as a must-start this week, but I know people would ask (queue up the voice of public opinion), "But what about Week 11 when he had only one catch and ten receiving yards?" I don't think Daniels was anywhere close to healthy in that game, which affected everything Washington did in that game. McLaurin has five 100-yard receiving days and three games with multiple touchdowns. I think he has earned the benefit of the doubt by now. McLaurin has a 21.7% target share, 2.42 YPRR (69.2 receiving yards per game), and a 27.1% first-read share. He ranks 11th in deep targets among wideouts and has five red zone targets in his last six games. The matchup is rough. There's no doubt about that, but it's tough to sit a player like McLaurin. Since Week 10, Philly has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers.
