In a season with much uncertainty, there has been a clear constant for the Washington Football Team. Second-year wide receiver Terry McLaurin continues to produce week in and week out. As the only viable threat in the passing game, he continuously sees primary coverage. It doesn’t matter. He’s received at least seven targets in every game this season and continues to post dominant numbers. He continued his hot streak in Week 10.
Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin made seven catches for 95 yards in a loss to the Lions Sunday. McLaurin added 27 rushing yards and lost a fumble in the contest. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. McLaurin has been money for fantasy managers this season with seven catches in four-straight games and he’s eclipsed 90 yards in three-straight. McLaurin always sees the defense’s top-coverage but it hasn’t mattered as he is a focal point of this offense with at least seven targets in every game this season. Scary Terry is a set-it and forget-it WR1 in fantasy.
Sophomore Sensation
McLaurin was drafted in the third round by Washington in 2019. The “discount” version of collegiate teammate and second-round selection Parris Campbell, McLaurin has vastly outperformed his fellow Buckeye despite Campbell being the more productive prospect coming out. An exceptional athlete, McLaurin ranks in the 75th percentile or above in nearly all combine metrics.
In only 14 games, McLaurin fell just shy of the 100-target and 1,000-receiving-yard mark as a rookie. Even more impressive is that those numbers were posted with a combination of Dwayne Haskins and Case Keenum at quarterback. Fast forward to this season, and it’s no different. Now without an official name, The Washington Football Team continues to cycle through quarterbacks. The constant of 2020? McLaurin. He continues to rocket up dynasty rankings.
