As long as McLaurin suits up, I think he has top-10 potential in this favorable matchup... McLaurin averaged a healthy 2.42 yards per route run against single-high defenses, a top-15 mark in the league... His 25% crossing route rate is by far the highest of his career, a notable change considering they tend to be some of the most fantasy-friendly routes for receivers.

McLaurin has top-10 WR upside in Week 5 vs. Giants if healthy.

McLaurin has top-10 WR potential in Week 5 against the Giants if he returns from his hamstring injury. The Giants allow 101.5 yards per game to opposing WR1s (4th-most in NFL) and deploy man coverage at one of the highest rates, calling Cover-1 over 30% of the time. This schematic matchup favors deep passing; McLaurin averaged 2.42 yards per route run against single-high defenses last season (top-15 mark). New OC David Blough has increased his crossing route rate to 25% (career-high), which are fantasy-friendly routes. McLaurin is practicing early in the week and expected to play against the Giants.
