Terry McLaurin Looking to Break Out in Week 3
Terry McLaurin will be without his star quarterback Jayden Daniels as they take on the Raiders at home in Week 3. McLaurin has had a slow start to the season after his holdout during training camp, with even reception on 13 targets for 75 yards in the two games. However, that is still more than what McLaurin had after the first two games of his career-best 2024 season, when he had only eight catches for 39 yards. The situation is obviously different this season now with Marcus Mariota set to start in Week 3, but McLaurin was very productive in a limited sample with Mariota last season. In nearly a full game together against Carolina, McLaurin led the team in receiving, catching all six of his targets for 98 yards. Then, when Mariota entered for the second half of Week 18 against the Cowboys, Mariota peppered McLaurin with easily a team-high eight targets in that small time for seven catches, 57 yards, and a game-winning touchdown. With the need to get McLaurin going and in rhythm early, combined with Mariota's trust in him, it could be a good bounce-back spot for the Washington receiver. He should be confidently started as a WR2 this week against Las Vegas.
