Terry McLaurin News

The fourth-year wideout was on the other end of rookie Sam Howell's first career passing TD, hauling in a 16-yard score in the first quarter. McLaurin finishes the season with a career-high 1,191 receiving yards on 77 catches with five touchdowns, his third straight campaign with over 1,000 yards, and no matter who's under center for Washington next year, he'll be a key part of the passing game.

McLaurin tied for third on the team in targets and has now been targeted six or fewer times in four of his last five games. He has been able to mask that lack of volume with long gains and touchdowns in past weeks, though that wasn't the case against the Browns. He managed one highlight-worthy play, a 23-yard reception that came early in the fourth quarter. Even so, his yardage total was his lowest since Week 4.

McLaurin finished as Washington's top-producing receiver despite finishing third in targets behind Logan Thomas (eight) and Jahan Dotson (nine). The 27-year-old continues to perform at a high level in spite of inconsistent quarterback play, posting a healthy 72/1,092/4 receiving line through 15 games. Head coach Ron Rivera has a big decision to make regarding who will start under center against the Browns next Sunday, but McLaurin should maintain WR1 status whether Taylor Heinicke or Carson Wentz gets the call.

McLaurin didn't post gaudy fantasy totals on Sunday Night Football, but the results were strong given the low target total in comparison to his season average (7.5 targets). The 27-year-old eclipsed the 1,000-yard receiving plateau for the third consecutive season, and he needs just 104 more yards to set a new career high. McLaurin will have a shot to accomplish that feat against the 49ers on Saturday. San Francisco boasts one of the league's top total defenses -- due in large part to Nick Bosa and the linebacking unit -- but they do not have a corner on the roster who can match McLaurin in raw talent.

McLaurin led the Commanders in receptions, receiving yards and targets in the overtime clash. The speedster was able to shake loose for a 19-yard touchdown grab late in the first quarter as well, his first score since Week 7. McLaurin heads into Washington's Week 14 bye with a trio of 100-yard efforts in the last six games before a Week 15 rematch at home with the Giants.

McLaurin led the team with six targets, but Taylor Heinicke took to the air only 23 times. That limited McLaurin's opportunity to produce, but he still managed receptions of 26 and 13 yards to highlight the performance. Despite delivering when given looks, McLaurin has failed to top 60 yards in three of his last four games.
