Terry McLaurin fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 2 (2024). Should you start or sit Terry McLaurin for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end WR2
ANALYSIS: Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught just two of his four targets in the season opener on Sunday for a mere 17 yards.
Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels struggled to find consistency in the passing game and often resorted to using his legs, which greatly hindered the fantasy production of his pass catchers. However, as Daniels gets accustomed to the NFL, fantasy managers should expect him to pass more often.
While McLaurin's box score is quite underwhelming, he was overthrown on a potential 70-yard score, which could have greatly changed his outlook heading into Week 2. Even though he could not connect with them, seeing Daniels look his way deep downfield is a great sign.

Nonetheless, the Commanders have a very week passing core outside of McLaurin which should allow him to see a hefty amount of targets his way on a weekly basis. Facing a New York Giants secondary that allowed over 200 passing yards to Sam Darnold, suggests that Daniels could find much more success through the air this weekend which bodes well for McLaurin.

Rashod Bateman - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Bateman looked solid in training camp, though then again, so do players like WR Elijah Moore, and they end up not doing much in real games. […]
Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking. In the absence of WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), he served as the team's WR2, and caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 19.9 PPR fantasy points. He played 91 percent […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason. Then 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) had surgery to correct his PCL issues and was ruled out for the […]
Caleb Douglas- Start or Sit?
Baller Move: Bench in standard leagues, mid-end FLEX in deeper leagues Positional Value: WR4 Analysis: One of the big mysteries in fantasy football this offseason was how the Miami Dolphins’ offense would look in 2026. Miami signed quarterback Malik Willis to a big contract in free agency, but his pass-catching group was filled with unproven […]
