STACKED’s take
McLaurin best buy in round four with WR1 upside.
McLaurin is positioned as one of the best buys in the fourth round at his current ADP, which is very close to David Montgomery's. The source is 'buying all the Terry McLaurin' they can get this season, citing multiple factors: (1) he has the least amount of target competition he's ever had; (2) two years ago in Jaden Daniels' rookie year, McLaurin was WR16 by fantasy points per game with one of the best QB-WR connections in football; (3) last year he suffered severe injury luck (quad injury that he couldn't get right, then reinjured mid-season) while Daniels dealt with 15 different types of injuries; (4) his catchable throw rate dropped from 83% two years ago to 74% last year, but the source expects regression to the mean; (5) with Jaden Daniels coming back fully healthy and the Washington offense likely needing to throw more due to team weakness, McLaurin has WR1 upside; (6) he has been the clear lead target, accumulating 115-135 targets throughout his career. The source views this as a situation where McLaurin could have a career year. He is cited as a comparable wide receiver to Watson in terms of draft tier and bet quality, with Watson going one to two full rounds later despite being a similar caliber prospect.
