2024 Fantasy Outlook
McLaurin remains the clear No. 1 receiver in Washington after Jahan Dotson's second-year breakout in 2023 failed to materialize. The 2022 first-round pick finished south of his rookie-year totals for yards and TDs, while McLaurin (barely) reached 1,000 yards for a fourth straight year. The 28-year-old has been somewhat frustrating despite that measure of consistency, as he's never reached 1,200 yards and hasn't scored more than five TDs since his rookie season. Subpar QB play may be more to blame than McLaurin himself, though a truly dominant No. 1 receiver might earn larger target shares even if the per-target efficiency left something to be desired. Last year, we saw problems in both regards, with McLaurin right around his usual raw number of targets (130) despite playing in an offense that led the league in passes. His 21.5 percent target share was a career low, and if you only include his active games the number has curiously dropped a bit with each passing season, starting from a high-water mark of 26.9 percent in his 2019 rookie campaign. McLaurin also finished 2023 with career lows for yards per catch (12.7) and per target (7.6), and with an 11.4 aDOT not far from his career mark of 12.2. The good news is that there's still a late-breakout argument, thanks to the Commanders bringing in a new coaching staff and drafting QB Jayden Daniels second overall. To the naked eye, McLaurin still looks like the same guy who ran a 4.35 40 at 208 pounds at the 2019 Combine and then put up 919 yards and seven TDs in 14 games as a rookie. Washington might be a tough situation efficiency-wise again, but we'll be fully out of excuses if the target share portion doesn't at least improve. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Pair of touchdowns against NYG
McLaurin recorded two catches on three targets for 19 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Jayden Daniels only attempted 22 passes, lowering the volume across Washington's skill-position players. Nevertheless, it was surprising that Noah Brown doubled McLaurin in targets and four total pass catchers outpaced him in yardage. Despite the odd box score, it's hard to complain about the end result, as both of McLaurin's receptions went for touchdowns -- his second multi-score game of the season. He's now tallied 95 or more receiving yards or scored a touchdown in seven straight games, giving him remarkably consistent production.

2019
McLaurin's long-awaited quarterback upgrade now appears dependent on the progress of 2022 fifth-round pick Sam Howell, who is expected to enter camp as Washington's starter after a strong preseason last year and an impressive cameo at the end of the campaign. Despite another year of substandard QB play, McLaurin finished 2022 with a career-high 1,191 yards, perhaps getting an efficiency boost from the emergence of Jahan Dotson and Curtis Samuel as legitimate complementary weapons. That does, of course, give McLaurin a bit more target competition than in the past, and even last year his 120 looks were his fewest since 2019 when he was a rookie. He made up for it with a 64.2 percent catch rate and 9.9 YPT, numbers far beyond the Washington passing game as a whole. McLaurin has the size (6-0, 210), speed (4.35 40) and route-running skills to break out of the 900-1,200-yard range he's been stuck in, but betting on a fifth-round QB to unlock that -- even a promising one like Howell -- is rather risky.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Seventh on team's receptions list
McLaurin took over seventh on Washington's all-time receptions list during Sunday's win over the Bears, surpassing Ricky Sanders.
ANALYSIS
McLaurin climbed the franchise leaderboard with his second catch of the game and the 415th catch of his career. He tacked on three additional catches in the 18-15 win, bringing McLaurin's career total up to 418, all during his six regular seasons in Washington. McLaurin's milestone catch ended up being far from the game's most memorable receptions, as it was overshadowed by Noah Brown's game-winning 52-yard Hail Mary reception on the game's final play.
