McLaurin has finished as the WR20 or lower in PPR points per game in six of his seven seasons in the league, and will now face legit competition from Stefon Diggs for targets. While McLaurin is still expected to operate as the Commanders' WR1, the addition of Diggs, coupled with the fact that he plays with Jayden Daniels, a quarterback who has historically high scramble rates (16.0 percent in 2025, per TruMedia), makes McLaurin a riskier bet than in previous seasons.

Negative signalBust

Diggs arrival and Daniels' scramble rate make McLaurin a risky WR2.

McLaurin has finished as WR20 or lower in PPR points per game in six of his seven seasons despite never having another receiver of note push him for targets. Now he faces legitimate competition from Stefon Diggs, and plays with Jayden Daniels, a quarterback with historically high scramble rates (16.0 percent in 2025). At low-end WR2 ADP, McLaurin is being drafted at his historical production level, offering limited value.
