McLaurin is one of the source's favorite values at wide receiver. In 2024, he scored 13 touchdowns, finished as the WR7 and topped 1,000 yards for the fifth straight season. Last season was basically lost with McLaurin missing seven games and QB Jayden Daniels missing 10. New OC David Blough has talked about getting McLaurin 10 targets per game, a significant jump from the 7.3 he has averaged over his career, while also moving him around the formation. New signing Stefon Diggs adds competition, but the source is getting a receiver who has already shown WR1 upside at a back-end WR2 price—a discount he's willing to bet on.NegativeValueAug 12, 2026
McLaurin was traded (along with Raheem Mostert and two future second-round picks) for Davante Adams in 2020 as part of a championship-winning roster construction strategy; the source considered this fair market value at the time and a title-winning move.PositiveProjectionAug 11, 2026

McLaurin is positioned for a bounce-back season after injuries derailed him and quarterback Jayden Daniels in 2025; McLaurin missed seven games and Daniels missed 10, limiting the duo to only a handful of games together. That followed a career-best 2024 season in which McLaurin finished as the fantasy WR7. The underlying numbers suggest McLaurin still played well when healthy last season, ranking near the top of the position in air yards and yards per route run. He also faces little competition for targets; Washington has the third-most vacated targets in the league, and McLaurin should remain the clear No. 1 option in the passing game. With Daniels healthy and new offensive coordinator David Blough expected to feature him more heavily, McLaurin is someone you should select often as your WR2 at his current ADP.NegativeProjectionNo date
