Terry McLaurin's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin will look to get on track on Monday Night Football when the Commanders travel to Cincinnati to face the Bengals. The Ohio State standout has caught just eight passes through the first two games for a mere 39 yards on 12 targets. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels relied more on his passing game last weekend against the Giants, which is a promising sign for McLaurin going forward. In addition, Commander offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury told the press on Friday that he will find a way to get his No. 1 wideout involved more. While his production has been nothing short of disappointing, knowing that he is the clear alpha among wide receivers, it is hard to bench McLaurin this week. In addition, due to how poorly the Washington defense has performed, quarterback Joe Burrow and the Bengals could put a lot of points on the board and could force the Commanders to abandon the run game relatively early. McLaurin is a solid WR3 with upside this weekend.

The Washington Commanders are looking for more ways to get top wide receiver Terry McLaurin involved heading into their Week 3 matchup on Monday night against the Cincinnati Bengals. "We got to find a way to get Terry more involved. That's on me. He's a fantastic player," offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury said of McLaurin's 39 receiving yards through the first two weeks of the season. The 29-year-old did have six receptions in the Week 2 win over the division-rival New York Giants, but it led to just 22 receiving yards. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels hasn't been looking very far down the field in the early going and has preferred to tuck the ball and run when he's unsure of things. Unless the Commanders start looking down the field more or McLaurin can start improving his yards-after-the catch production, he could remain a frustrating WR3/flex play for fantasy managers.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin continued his slow start to the 2024 campaign as he recorded a mere 22 yards in their Week 2 victory over the New York Giants. However, McLaurin saw a team-high eight targets and caught six of them. Jayden Daniels continued to show signs of growth as a passer as he looked downfield more often this week but could not find McLaurin on those plays. Instead, receivers Noah Brown and even tight end Zach Ertz connected on deeper passes. While McLaurin's start to the season has been frustrating, fantasy managers should continue to view him as a WR3 with upside, given his track record of success in the league. As Daniels progresses as a passer, McLaurin's fantasy output will rise. McLaurin should remain in your lineup as he will face the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night in what could be a high-scoring affair.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin had a disappointing season debut, as he caught just two passes for 17 yards (on four targets). He could not find a connection with his rookie QB as the Commanders' passing attack could not get untracked. In fact, Daniels overthrew the Ohio State product on a potential 70-yard score on the opening play of the second half. Despite the frustrating debut, fantasy managers should continue to start McLaurin in all formats. Even playing with sub-par QBs throughout his career, McLaurin has posted four straight 1,000-yard campaigns and only caught less than 70 passes in one season (his rookie campaign). This week, McLaurin will face a Giant defense that could not contain Sam Darnold in Week 1. The 28-year-old is a solid WR2 in all formats on Sunday.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin had a disappointing season debut, as he caught just two passes for 17 yards. McLaurin was targeted four times (tied for the team high) and missed a potential 70-yard score on the opening play of the second half as Jayden Daniels overthrew him. Daniels could not find a consistent rhythm as a passer on Sunday afternoon, which greatly hindered McLaurin's fantasy day. Fantasy managers should not be overly concerned with the Ohio State product's stat line, as it may take a few weeks for them to get on the same page. McLaurin should remain a solid low-end WR2/high-end WR3 entering their Week 2 matchup against the New York Giants.
