2025 Fantasy Outlook
McLaurin finally got over the hump in 2024, after spending the first five years of his career as an overqualified WR3 for fantasy. All it took was better quarterback play, with an assist from offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. McLaurin's 117 targets last year were actually his fewest since his 2019 rookie season, albeit with his 23.2 percent target share being a three-year high as the Commanders thrived behind a balanced offense. The outlier numbers were his 70.1 percent catch rate (a career high by 5.2 percentage points) and 13 touchdowns (his previous best was seven), with McLaurin riding the wave of Jayden Daniels' incredible rookie season. We'll always have to assume some regression from a player that scored 13 TDs on 82 catches, but it's also fair to say that McLaurin and Daniels are sufficiently talented to remain one of the most efficient QB-WR combos in the league. And while Deebo Samuel offers new competition for Daniels' attention, the former 49er mostly figures to take targets that went to Washington's rotating cast of Nos. 2 and 3 receivers last year. McLaurin will turn 30 in September, but he hasn't missed a game since 2020 and seems to have maintained the 4.35 speed from his standout combine showing back in 2019. If you're counting on him as a WR1 you'll likely be disappointed, as he's never reached 1,200 yards in a season. As a WR2, however, he should work out well, especially in non-PPR leagues where TDs hold more weight relative to volume. Read Past Outlooks

Contract dispute brewing?
McLaurin is not in attendance at Washington's final voluntary offseason workout Wednesday, though he had previously been a full participant, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
McLaurin is heading into the final season of the three-year, $68.2 million extension he inked with the Commanders in 2022. Fresh off a 2024 campaign in which he connected with QB Jayden Daniels to the tune of an 82-1,096-13 receiving line while playing all 17 regular-season games for the fourth straight year and earning Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro honors, McLaurin's value to Washington's offense is greater than the $19-20 million in real-money compensation he's slated to earn in 2025. General manager Adam Peters said in late March that he'd like to work out an extension with McLaurin before Week 1, but the 29-year-old's absence from the final session of voluntary workouts now puts some pressure on the team to finalize a deal prior to mandatory minicamp, which will kick off June 10. Offseason trade acquisition Deebo Samuel figures to command pressure from opposing defenses without significantly threatening McLaurin's dominant target share in the deep and intermediate portions of the field, so even if hit by TD regression, the No. 1 wideout's overall volume and production has some room for growth in Year 2 with Daniels at the helm of Kliff Kingsbury's offense.

2019
McLaurin remains the clear No. 1 receiver in Washington after Jahan Dotson's second-year breakout in 2023 failed to materialize. The 2022 first-round pick finished south of his rookie-year totals for yards and TDs, while McLaurin (barely) reached 1,000 yards for a fourth straight year. The 28-year-old has been somewhat frustrating despite that measure of consistency, as he's never reached 1,200 yards and hasn't scored more than five TDs since his rookie season. Subpar QB play may be more to blame than McLaurin himself, though a truly dominant No. 1 receiver might earn larger target shares even if the per-target efficiency left something to be desired. Last year, we saw problems in both regards, with McLaurin right around his usual raw number of targets (130) despite playing in an offense that led the league in passes. His 21.5 percent target share was a career low, and if you only include his active games the number has curiously dropped a bit with each passing season, starting from a high-water mark of 26.9 percent in his 2019 rookie campaign. McLaurin also finished 2023 with career lows for yards per catch (12.7) and per target (7.6), and with an 11.4 aDOT not far from his career mark of 12.2. The good news is that there's still a late-breakout argument, thanks to the Commanders bringing in a new coaching staff and drafting QB Jayden Daniels second overall. To the naked eye, McLaurin still looks like the same guy who ran a 4.35 40 at 208 pounds at the 2019 Combine and then put up 919 yards and seven TDs in 14 games as a rookie. Washington might be a tough situation efficiency-wise again, but we'll be fully out of excuses if the target share portion doesn't at least improve.
