Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Six grabs in Sunday's win
Terry McLaurin caught six of eight targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants.While the veteran wideout led the Washington Commanders in targets and receptions, McLaurin's longest gain went for only 12 yards, as rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels rarely tried to stretch the field. New offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury has a long track record of building his passing game around short, high-percentage routes, but McLaurin doesn't have the yards-after-catch ability to turn those into big gains -- his 4.4 YAC per reception in 2023 ranked 79th out of 139 qualified pass catchers. McLaurin will try to at least maintain a useful target volume in Week 3 against the Bengals.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Minimal chemistry with rookie QB
Terry McLaurin caught two of four targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Buccaneers.No Washington Commanders wide receiver had more than 18 yards, as Washington went with a run-heavy approach, and quarterback Jayden Daniels checked the ball down underneath when asked to throw it. Daniels flashed a big arm at LSU prior to being drafted second overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, so perhaps McLaurin will be a bigger part of the game plan Week 2 against the beatable Giants secondary.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Pair of catches from Daniels
Terry McLaurin secured two of three targets for 27 yards in the Washington Commanders' 13-6 preseason loss to the Dolphins on Saturday night.McLaurin recorded his catches from Jayden Daniels on back-to-back plays on the first possession of the game, displaying some encouraging chemistry with the rookie signal-caller. The veteran wideout is set to once again operate as the No. 1 receiver in Washington's offense, and Daniels' seemingly accelerated acclimation curve this summer brightens the outlook for the talented pass catcher come the regular season.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Catches one pass from rookie QB
Terry McLaurin caught his only target for three yards in Saturday's 20-17 preseason loss to the Jets.McLaurin accounted for one of Jayden Daniels' two completions on the only drive that the rookie quarterback played. After topping 1,000 receiving yards in each of the previous four seasons, McLaurin projects to work as the top target for Daniels in 2024. The veteran wide receiver will look to keep building chemistry with the 2024 second overall pick in next Saturday's preseason game against the Dolphins.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Optimistic about new-look offense
Terry McLaurin said this summer that the offseason felt "like the start of something new, special," Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.The Washington Commanders have mostly addressed shortcomings with band-aids throughout McLaurin's tenure, but the changes this offseason were drastic, highlighted by new head coach Dan Quinn and No. 2 overall draft pick Jayden Daniels. The latter figures to become the 10th different starting QB that McLaurin has played with in the NFL, and Kliff Kingsbury is the fourth offensive coordinator. The veteran wideout said Daniels was impressive during spring practices, showing "amazing" touch on his deep ball and "really good anticipation over the middle of the field." It remains to be seen how that translates to actual games, but there's at least some chance of McLaurin experiencing above-average QB play for the first time in his career.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Fourth straight 1,000-yard season
Terry McLaurin caught six of eight targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Cowboys.It took until the fourth quarter, but McLaurin hauled in just enough production to reach 1,000 yards for the fourth straight season with 1,002. His 79 catches on the year also put him over 75 for the fourth straight campaign, a remarkable streak of consistency considering the revolving door the Washington Commanders have had at quarterback during his career. McLaurin will likely be working with yet another new signal-caller, and a new coaching staff, in 2024, but this might be the one that sticks as Washington holds the second overall pick in a QB-rich draft class.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Bright spot in Washington offense
Terry McLaurin recorded four catches on six targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the 49ers.McLaurin was one of the few bright spots in the Washington offense, though his production came primarily on two plays on the same drive. He first caught a deep pass down the right sideline for 42 yards, and five plays later, he boxed out a 49ers defender to record a three-yard touchdown catch. McLaurin now has two scores in his last three games after recording only two touchdowns in the first 13 contests of the campaign.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Leading receiver in Week 16 loss
Terry McLaurin caught three of five targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 30-28 loss to the Jets.For the second straight week, McLaurin did little until Sam Howell was replaced at quarterback by Jacoby Brissett, and the wideout gained most of his team-leading yardage on a 29-yard pass from Brissett in the fourth quarter that helped set up a Chris Rodriguez TD. The Washington Commanders' passing attack has looked better under Brissett than Howell in back-to-back games, and McLaurin's fantasy prospects would be brighter if coach Ron Rivera made the switch permanent ahead of a Week 17 clash with the 49ers.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: First 100-yard game of season
Terry McLaurin recorded six receptions on 12 targets for 141 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Rams.McLaurin entered Sunday's matchup in particularly bad form, as he had failed to top 50 receiving yards in four consecutive games. He turned that around, however, as he managed his first 100-yard receiving game of the season and also found the end zone for the first time since Week 8. His touchdown came midway through the fourth quarter from backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett, and McLaurin narrowly missed a second score on a 48-yard reception on the next offensive possession. While it was a very positive performance for McLaurin, he could have a hard time following it up in a Week 16 matchup against the typically tough Jets secondary.

Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Held off stat sheet Sunday
Terry McLaurin failed to bring in any of his three targets in the Washington Commanders' 45-15 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.McLaurin was kept off the stat sheet for the only the second time in his career, the first instance having come back in Week 14 of the 2021 season against the Cowboys. The veteran's target tally was also a season low, although it bears mentioning that Washington's air attack had a very underwhelming day as a whole with Sam Howell putting up just 23 pass attempts. McLaurin should be set to return a customary level of production following the Week 14 bye in a Week 15 road matchup against the Rams that should feature a much more conventional game script.
