From the article

McLaurin was sadly inches away from a very big fantasy outing in Week 2. He had three targets in the end zone that went incomplete (including on a flea flicker) and a ticky-tack OPI called on him on a slant win. Only accumulating 6.0 half PPR points on 15.4 expected points is a real bummer, especially knowing we're getting Marcus Mariota now.

McLaurin's Mariota history (WR12 on WR15 usage) undercut by Diggs' 23% target share and Seahawks' elite secondary.

McLaurin was inches away from a big fantasy outing in Week 2, with three end-zone targets that went incomplete (including on a flea flicker) and a ticky-tack OPI call on a slant win, accumulating only 6.0 half PPR points on 15.4 expected. With Marcus Mariota now starting, McLaurin has 10 games with Mariota attempting 10+ pass attempts, averaging 12.1 half PPR points (WR12) on WR15 usage and 18% target share with 104 air yards per game—the absolute best outcome. However, Stefon Diggs is playing in a mini Amon-Ra St. Brown role under new OC David Blough with a 23% target share to McLaurin's 20%. The Seahawks are the second-best fantasy WR defense since Week 10 of last year with elite CB1 Devon Witherspoon, and the source doesn't trust the backup offensive linemen against Seattle's defensive schemes.
