Terry McLaurin Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Commanders WR Noah Brown is "going to be out for a while," per HC Dan Quinn. In fact, Quinn mentioned the possibility of Brown going on season-ending IR while noting a "significant internal injury." The veteran was operating as Washington’s WR2, but now those snaps will go to Dyami Brown, Olamide Zaccheaus, and Luke McCaffrey. You shouldn’t count on any of those WRs for Week 15 fantasy production at New Orleans. Meanwhile, Terry McLaurin's outlook improves as a fantasy WR2.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels completed 25 of 30 passes for 206 yards and 3 TDs in Sunday’s blowout win over Tennessee. The rookie added his sixth rushing TD of the season.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin racked up 102 yards and a TD on 5 receptions in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. Most of that came on a single play late in the fourth quarter, though. McLaurin caught a pass with 33 seconds left and took it to the end zone from 86 yards out. That means his other 4 catches totaled just 16 yards.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin caught just one pass for 10 yards in Thursday night's loss to the Eagles. He was invisible for most of the night, drawing just two targets on 32 Jayden Daniels pass attempts. The first fell incomplete on a crosser in the third quarter. McLaurin finally got on the board with a 10-yard grab in the fourth quarter.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin caught five of six targets for 113 yards. He was third in targets behind Noah Brown and Zach Ertz, but was the major downfield target for QB Jayden Daniels.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin caught just two passes for 19 yards among 3 targets in Sunday's win over the Giants. But they both went for TDs, from 1 and 18 yards out.

"All signs point" to Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (rib) starting today's game vs. the Bears, ESPN's Adam Schefter writes. "The Commanders still will need to see how Daniels is feeling Sunday in pregame warmups before making any final determination about whether he can start," Schefter adds. Daniels is officially listed as questionable after returning to a limited practice on Friday and then participating in Saturday's walkthrough. We won't get Washington's inactives until a little before 3 pm ET today, so you should have another late-game QB rostered as insurance if you're hoping to start Daniels. The rib issue obviously adds risk to his Week 8 fantasy profile, on top of the matchup against a strong Chicago pass defense. The Bears are much more susceptible on the ground, but it's possible that Daniels' rushing is scaled back today.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (rib) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's meeting with the Bears. He returned to a limited practice on Friday after sitting out the previous two days. “We will assess how he responds to the work that we did, over the next 48 hours," HC Dan Quinn said after Friday's practice. "But we really pushed it today. Playing quarterback, the movements, the skills, and also specific to the gameplan. Going through the whole thing. We’re really following that process and we’ll let our eyes decide how he responds over the next 48 hours, and that will guide us and we’ll make the best decision for him and the team.” We'll likely get multiple updates on Daniels between now and kickoff. Stay tuned.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels stayed hot in Sunday’s win over the Cardinals. The rookie completed 26-of-30 passes for 233 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT. He's now up to an 82.1% completion rate through four games -- a record to start an NFL career (min. 75 attempts).

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels ended the game completing 21 of 23 passes for 254 yards and two TDs. He also added 39 yards and a TD on the ground.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin led the team with eight targets for a 27.6% share in the Week 2 win over the Giants. But that's where the good news ends. McLaurin finished with just 22 scoreless yards on six grabs. Washington had nothing working downfield in the passing game. McLaurin's longest grab went for 12 yards. His other catches: 8, 5, 2, and -2 yards and -3 yards.

The Commanders have agreed to trade WR Jahan Dotson to the Eagles. They're sending Dotson plus a fifth-round pick to their division rival for a third-round pick and two seventh-rounders -- all in the 2025 draft, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and other reports.

Commanders WR Jahan Dotson is excited by what he's seen from QB Jayden Daniels in training camp so far, calling the rookie a "special talent." Daniels had his best day of camp on Tuesday, per The Washington Post's Sam Fortier, connecting on multiple deep passes and breaking off at least one long run.

The Commanders are hiring Kliff Kingsbury as their OC under HC Dan Quinn, according to multiple reports. Kingsbury had an underwhelming tenure as Cardinals HC from 2019 to 2022, going 28-37-1 over those four seasons. He landed two of those teams inside the top 8 in total yards, but none cracked the top 10 in points. Kingsbury at least deployed fast-paced attacks, with three of his four offenses finishing top 3 in pace and offensive plays. He joins a Washington squad with plenty of skill-position talent and the No. 2 overall pick in this spring's draft, which will presumably be used to take a QB.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin managed no receptions on just 3 targets in Sunday's blowout loss to the Dolphins. And he wasn't happy about it. "I ran a lot of cardio today," he told reporters after the game. It's been a disappointing season for Washington's top wideout. Despite his offense leading the league in pass attempts entering Sunday and ranking ninth in passing yards, McLaurin was working on a career-low 57.8 yards per game. That's obviously coming down even further after Sunday's 0. WR Curtis Samuel tied with RB Antonio Gibson, and WR Jahan Dotson for the team lead with 5 targets. Samuel and Gibson caught four passes apiece, while Samuel led the team with 65 receiving yards. Washington's WRs don't look likely to help you a whole lot the rest of the way. After a Week 14 bye, the Commanders get the league's third-toughest schedule for WR scoring over the final three fantasy weeks. That includes matchups with the Jets and 49ers in the final two rounds of most fantasy playoffs.

Commanders WR Jahan Dotson drew 8 targets to lead the team in Sunday's win at New England. It marked the first time since Week 1 that he led the team in that category. He hauled in four of those targets for 69 yards and the team's lone TD reception, from 33 yards out. Dotson has averaged 5.7 receptions and 73.3 yards over the past three games (with 2 TDs) vs. just 2.8 receptions and 23.3 yards (1 TD) over the first six contests. WR Curtis Samuel's toe injury has helped, knocking him out of Week 8 early and keeping him out for Week 9. Samuel didn't practice at all ahead of the New England game, so his status looks at least iffy for Week 10 as well. Dotson will probably crack our top 36 at WR across formats for a Week 10 meeting with Seattle. The Seahawks entered Sunday as the third-best scoring matchup for WRs by our adjusted fantasy points allowed. We'll see about Dotson's progression and how soon Samuel can return. WR Terry McLaurin, meanwhile, remained fine with a 5-73 receiving line on 7 targets against the Patriots.
