Terry McLaurin 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook: Looking To Log Fifth Straight 1,000-Yard Campaign With Rookie Quarterback
6 months agoWashington Commanders' sixth-year wide receiver Terry McLaurin delivered another solid season in 2023. Despite inconsistency at the quarterback position, McLaurin finished the year with 79 receptions on 120 targets for 1,002 yards and four touchdowns. It was his fourth straight 1,000-yard campaign. In 2024, McLaurin may finally have something he hasn't seen in his five seasons with Washington: a suitable quarterback! The Commanders selected rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels with the second overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft. This should be exciting for McLaurin, as he will be paired up with the rookie superstar, and the duo is expected to provide big plays down the field. McLaurin enters the 2024 season as the undisputed top target in Washington's passing game. His target competition will be Jahan Dotson, Luke McCaffrey, Zach Ertz, and Dyami Brown. McLaurin is worth targeting in the fourth to sixth round of fantasy drafts, as his ADP currently sits at 65.3 and is ranked 61st in RotoBaller's player rankings. Managers looking for a dependable wide receiver with the potential for explosive weeks should confidently draft McLaurin. The 28-year-old is a WR2 with low-end WR1 upside in PPR formats. His ability to consistently rack up receptions and yards makes him a valuable asset, and improvements in the Commanders' offense could elevate his ceiling even further. If the quarterback play stabilizes and he sees more red-zone opportunities, McLaurin has the potential to finish as a top-15 fantasy wide receiver.
