Should You Start or Sit Terry McLaurin in Week 7?
This Jayden Daniels-led machine is impressive on multiple levels, one of which is their willingness to share the ball. Both running backs have had their moments, and multiple pass catchers have made plays. But McLaurin has established himself as the alpha we knew he could be — it’s amazing to see.
Through six weeks, he has as many catches (29) as any of his teammates have targets, has more receiving yards than any two other receivers on this roster combined, and has accounted for four of six touchdown receptions (he’s scored in three of his past four games after scoring in three of his previous 17 games).
He’s finished three of the past four weeks no worse than WR16, and I think that’s low-balling his standing for Week 7 against a defense that is bottom-five in EPA, red-zone efficiency, third-down prevention, and passer rating.
We’ve waited five long seasons to put McLaurin’s name alongside some of the best in the game, and I see no reason not to do it in this spot. Scary Terry sits at WR8 in my current rankings, and I feel great about it.
