Terry McLaurin

The presence of Deebo Samuel casts some doubt as to whether McLaurin can back up with another year of thirteen touchdowns. Regression is expected. How far remains to be seen.

"Must start with Jayden Daniels under center"

McLaurin finally broke through the WR2/WR3 barrier thanks to a 13-TD campaign with Jayden Daniels at the helm. That's the only difference from five consecutive years where he earned 77-87 catches, 1000-1200 yards, and 4-5 scores. 

Touchdowns are a high-variance stat. In this respect, it's wise to be cautious about projecting top-five totals for McLaurin again in 2025. However, the differentiating factor for McLaurin in 2024 might be the combination of Kliff Kingsbury and Jayden Daniels. 

I'm buying into the idea that this partnership is a viable reason for optimism that McLaurin can deliver another double-digit TD season in 2025. I'm selling on McLaurin reaching that total if his holdout stretches into late August. Stay tuned.

Terry McLaurin has been a good receiver for a long time. He finally got the quarterback he deserved last season, and fireworks ensued. McLaurin went over 1,000 yards for the fifth straight year and caught 13 touchdowns. Washington needs to sign him to an extension so there is no holdout. As long as that is cleared up, it's wheels up again in 2025 as McLaurin remains the clear alpha receiver for the Commanders.
