Busts on the Washington Commanders
- WR Terry McLaurin - 5 votes
- No One - 3 votes
- LB Frankie Luvu - 2 votes
- WR Deebo Samuel Sr. - 2 votes
- RB Brian Robinson Jr - 1 vote
Reasons WR Terry McLaurin Could Be a Bust
- Maurile Tremblay: Third-round price bakes in last year's 13-TD spike, but Samuel's arrival and TD regression could sink him below value.
- Hutchinson Brown: I am thrilled that he finally has a great quarterback, but 82 receptions, 1,096 yards, and 13 touchdowns will be a challenging touchdown rate to repeat. If you have to pay a top-15 wide receiver price for him, which I often see, I am likely to be out.
- Jeff Haseley: I am less interested in McLaurin this year with the addition of Deebo Samuel Sr. It will be tough to meet or exceed his production from last season.
- Andy Hicks: Bust is a hard term, but 13 touchdown seasons are rare. Especially when a player of the calibre of Deebo Samuel Sr. gets added to the offense.
- Craig Lakins: Currently being picked in the middle of the second round, McLaurin might be the player most impacted by the Commanders' acquisition of Deebo Samuel Sr. Couple that with a mini-camp holdout, and it's hard to see that ADP paying off.
