McLaurin is currently going as a backend WR2 in ADP and ECR despite finishing 2024 as WR14 with 82 catches, nearly 1,300 receiving yards, and 13 touchdowns. His 2025 season was derailed by a training camp holdout and contract disruption, but underlying efficiency metrics remain elite: fourth in first downs per route run and 13th in yards per route run despite the chaos. Washington added no major new receiving weapon and lost Deebo Samuel and Zach Ertz, while a new offensive play caller is stepping in expected to move receivers around the formation more than the previous static coordinator. The source ranks him as a top-15 wide receiver overall, and a career-high in targets is firmly in play if the quarterback continues to develop and passing volume grows.
PositiveUsageJul 16, 2026Hayden Winks - PPR Rankings
Terry McLaurin (WR, WAS) is #46 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 44.5 with a 178.7-point projection. Verdict: McLaurin is the WR14 per-game with Jayden Daniels since 2024. McLaurin has 23 games with Jayden Daniels. He's the WR14 on WR26 usage on a per-game basis using PPR scoring with him, while obviously running pure on touchdowns. Since then, the Commanders have lost Deebo Samuel and Zach Ertz, replacing them with Chig Okonkwo, 3rd-round rookie slot/Z Antonio Williams, and maybe Brandon Aiyuk if the 49ers release him from hostage.

Terry McLaurin had a lost year in 2025 due to a quad strain that sidelined him for seven games and Jayden Daniels missing 10 games, but his advanced metrics when on the field remained strong. He ranked fifth in first downs per route run (0.13), 13th in yards per route run (2.29), 16th in yards per target (9.7) and ninth in yards per catch (15.3). McLaurin accounted for 38% of Washington's air yards last season (13th among WRs with at least 50 targets). In Daniels' rookie year in 2024, McLaurin caught 82 balls for 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns for a WR14 PPG finish (15.7), despite ranking just 36th in target share (23%). Given the current state of Washington's wide receiver room, McLaurin could easily eclipse 25% target share in 2026 while flirting with 145 targets, and the source is excited to see a healthy deep ball connection between him and Daniels.

Terry McLaurin is ranked at WR17 by the source and is expected to maintain that ranking coming out of training camp regardless of other roster moves. The source notes that McLaurin's ranking should not change based on training camp hype or new offensive coordinator news. Even if the Commanders sign Stefan Diggs, the source would not move McLaurin up or down from WR17. The source thinks adding Diggs would be a really nice complementary fit alongside McLaurin.
