BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3
ANALYSIS: Last year, the Washington Commanders were one of the most pass-happy teams in the NFL. This year is a different story, with the team currently tied for 20th in pass attempts.
That's led to a rough start to the season for Terry McLaurin, who has receiving yard totals of 17 and 22 through the first two games. His high target share in the second game salvaged the day just a bit in PPR leagues though as he caught six passes.

Still, the Commanders just don't have a lot of other threats, so even with his poor start, McLaurin remains a viable WR3 play because he's bound to see a number of targets every week. This matchup against the Bengals isn't super appealing, but McLaurin is likely to play around 90% of the team's snaps.
