News: 6 days agoMcLaurin caught just one of seven targets for five yards in Sunday's 30-24 overtime win over the Falcons.

Spin: McLaurin picked a horrible time to post his worst fantasy score of the season for managers who were competing for a fantasy crown. The steady veteran tied his season low in receptions while setting new lows in catch rate (14 percent) and receiving yards (five). It's uncertain how much McLaurin will play next Sunday against the Cowboys with Washington having locked up a playoff spot and unable to advance any higher than the No. 6 seed in the NFC.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: McLaurin's fifth NFL season looked quite a bit like his prior ones, as he crossed 1,000 receiving yards for the fourth consecutive campaign, quite the feat considering Washington's quarterback play during his career. This is a new era, with Jayden Daniels at quarterback, and that helps everyone. The consistent McLaurin has caught between 77 and 87 passes each of the past four seasons, and he has scored four or more touchdowns each season. What looked different in 2023 was how McLaurin got those numbers, with a career-worst 7.6 yards per target and 12.7 yards per reception. Fantasy managers can no longer comfortably choose the durable McLaurin as a WR2, as 27 wide receivers scored more fantasy points last season, but he isn't far from that range, either.
