Washington Commanders’ Terry McLaurin Fantasy: WR NFL Data & Stats Speculations 2022

Player Outlook

Last year under Taylor Heinicke, Terry McLaurin got the WR1 treatment. He ran a route on 91% of offensive dropbacks and finished second in the NFL in air yards share behind only Justin Jefferson (37%). McLaurin is a high-end number two wide receiver, however, do not consider drafting him before the end of round three in full PPR leagues.

After two back-to-back seasons with over 1000-yards, the commanders rewarded McLaurin with a $71 million, three-year contract. The upgrade at quarterback in the form of Carson Wentz will only help McLaurin perform better as fans will have high hopes from their star WR this season to combine well with Wentz.

Terry McLaurin’s fantasy data 

Bye Week: 14

Fantasy PPR Ranking: 40.9 

Fantasy Points: 226.27

McLaurin showed elite efficiency in Year 1 and averaged 8.9 targets per game in Year 2. If he is able to achieve good chemistry with Carson Wentz, this number will only increase over the course of the season. Another huge plus point in favor of McLaurin is his ability to stay fit having played all 17 games last season. He finished the 2021 season with 1,053 yards and five touchdowns and had 77 receptions on 130 targets last season. A big issue for McLaurin is his inability to find the end zone, in his rookie season he had 7 touchdowns, in 2021 he had 5.

Terry McLaurin has not ranked lower than 16th in targets, target share, and receiving yards or receptions since entering the league. Although a number of fans are not optimistic that Wentz and McLaurin will hit the ground running immediately, having Wentz in the team will at the very least ensure stability for McLaurin for the next three years, which is extremely crucial. It will be interesting to see how this partnership develops, Washington fans will be hoping for a positive outcome of the same.
