BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Terry McLaurin finally broke through last week with his first big game of the 2024 season, posting 100 yards on four catches and what proved to be the game-winning touchdown in the final minutes.
McLaurin beat single coverage on the outside and hauled in a 27-yard touchdown to put the Bengals away. Managers had been waiting for something from McLaurin, who, despite being the WR1 for the Commanders, had only seen limited targets in the first two weeks of the season.
Jayden Daniels. Terry McLaurin. THE COMMANDERS.

The Commanders have another great matchup this week against a below-average Cardinals secondary, so look for McLaurin to keep it rolling. His offensive coordinator knows that they have to get him the ball more and I would expect him to be a major focus in this matchup.
At 51.5 points, the Cardinals-Commanders game has the highest total of Week 4. Vegas is expecting a lot of offense and with Jayden Daniels playing so well right now it makes total sense. McLaurin's floor is low, but the ceiling is high here in this spot.
He's a bit of a risky play only because of the limited targets, but I still think he's viable as your WR3 or Flex play, especially in 12-team leagues or larger.
