BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR20
ANALYSIS: Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is one of the more underrated pass catchers in the NFL. The veteran has never been a fantasy football star because of inconsistent quarterback play. However, that has changed this year with Jayden Daniels under center.
McLaurin is the WR24, averaging 10.2 half-point PPR fantasy points per game over the first four weeks. The former Ohio State star has had at least 14.7 fantasy points and a touchdown in back-to-back games. Furthermore, his first-read target share has improved nearly every week, including a season-high 45% in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Fantasy players can start McLaurin with confidence against the Cleveland Browns this week. While the Browns have a talented defense on paper, they’ve had trouble slowing down opposing wide receivers. Cleveland has surrendered 28.7 fantasy points per game to wide receivers in 2024, the 12th-most in the NFL. Furthermore, Malik Nabers destroyed their secondary two weeks ago.
