Terry McLaurin 2025 NFL Redraft Outlook

Regardless of whether or not he’s back on the Commanders or another team, Terry McLaurin is a player every fantasy football drafter should know. The former Buckeye is entering his eighth season and has consistently produced. He may not be in the discussion for elite wide receiver, but he is probably as good as a receiver can be without garnering that elite status. That means he’s a quality player that will drop into later rounds, which means potential value for a savvy fantasy football player.

Despite having a slow start, McLaurin ended up as one of the better receivers in the game. He had five games with 100 yards or more as well as four multiple-touchdown games. Unfortunately, his floor was quite low, as he had some absolute duds against Philadelphia and Atlanta.

Those poor performances shouldn’t outshadow the fact that he was Jayden Daniels‘ number one target, though, and if the Commanders were having a good game on offense, McLaurin would certainly benefit. What those two duds did was drop his average fantasy points down to 15 per game last season. Towards the end of the year, though, McLaurin put together a three-game stretch where he had over 20 fantasy points.

While looking at ADP isn’t always a great indicator of a player’s potential, they might have it spot on with Terry McLaurin, who is being drafted as the 16th overall receiver. That makes him a WR2 candidate in every big draft as well as great value later on for leagues with less than eight people (which do exist). Either way, he’s probably the best receiver any drafter can acquire after the elite receivers are off the board, seeing as McLaurin is still the number one pass catcher on a strong offense that can put up 30+ points in every game.

Keep in mind that this might change if McLaurin goes to another team. Signs are pointing towards the Patriots as a future option if he can’t get a deal with Washington. Assuming he stays, though, McLaurin will benefit from the play of Jayden Daniels, and new acquisition Deebo Samuel wouldn’t be taking any snaps away since he is used to being part of a deep receiving core in San Francisco. There is just a chance he might move to a worse situation, but even if he goes to New England, his ADP shouldn’t drop too much.
