McLaurin's profile to me is so interesting because he obviously is getting buoyed up right now in ADP because it does not look like Brandon Aiyuk is going to sign with the Washington Commanders. However, he basically has one good season... He's heading into his age 31 season. He has only scored over seven touchdowns one time. That was the 2024 season where Jayden Daniels stayed healthy.
STACKED’s take
Weak career profile buoyed by unsustainable 2024 TD spike; age 31 with injury risk.
Jonathan Taylor identifies Terry McLaurin as a worst fantasy pick despite recent ADP inflation from Brandon Aiyuk's non-signing with Washington. McLaurin's career profile is weak: only one truly good season with 2.12 yards per route run career average (2.29 in limited 2024 sample); heading into age 31; only seven-plus touchdown season was 2024 when Jayden Daniels stayed healthy. His 2024 masterclass (82 rec, 1,096 yards, 13 TDs) was touchdown-dependent and unsustainable. Underappreciated risks include potential trade acquisitions (Stefon Diggs, Deebo Samuel, Calvin Ridley, or Jerry Jeudy) that could fragment targets. Red zone concerns: not a red zone style player; Chig Okonkwo's role could hurt him, and Ben Sinnott's increased role would be negative. Taylor prefers Garrett Wilson, Luther Burden, and Davante Adams for touchdown mining.
