BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end WR2 ANALYSIS: "Scary" Terry McLaurin has been a steady pass-catching presence for young quarterback Sam Howell this season.

Ryan J. GoodmanShould I Start Amari Cooper in Week 3? WR Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis
The Browns have been an incredibly disappointing passing offense to start the year.
