The Washington Commanders will face the Atlanta Falcons in Week 17. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Terry McLaurin.
Is Terry McLaurin Playing in Week 17?
The Commanders’ WR1 was listed as DNP on Wednesday’s estimated practice report due to an ankle injury. It’s unclear what exactly happened, as McLaurin played the entire game last week. This is likely more maintenance than anything else.
We’ll continue to monitor the Commanders’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Terry McLaurin in Week 17?
What a difference a QB makes. Terry McLaurin’s on-field target share this season (20.7%) is essentially identical to last season (20.6%), but his production relative to the expectation of those looks has spiked from -4% to +44.3%).
With the Commanders rediscovering their potent form from earlier this season, you’re blessed with the opportunity to click McLaurin into your lineup. I think his lasting impact from this season will have nothing to do with him — it’ll be in fantasy managers attempting to unearth the next uber-talent who is a QB away from elite status.
Malik Nabers is going to be the layup answer, and that doesn’t make it wrong. That said, it doesn’t have to be a player with a rookie QB. Rome Odunze could check this box. Could Jerry Jeudy make a jump like this? Maybe Josh Downs?
