Our read

Written Sun 12:01 am Central, for week 6

No injury designation for Terry McLaurin on Sunday's report, so he plays the Monday 7:15 pm Central kickoff at San Francisco after missing week 4 of 2026. The published projection sits at 12.1 points in PPR scoring for him this week. He's run at 10.1 PPR points a game over 4 games this season. The 49ers give up 29.4 PPR points a game to receivers, 13th of 32 through week 5, and Washington carries a 22.3-point expected score. He's first among Commanders wideouts, so start him.

Written Oct 19, from his facts through last season

The missed week 4 of 2026 sits next to a 2025 that already went wrong, ten games played and 11.4 points a game after 15.75 the year before. Our 198-point projection was never built on that. It assumed the 23.3% target share and 69.8% snap share would push a receiver in his spot up a couple of points a season, and that he was closer to the 267.8-point WR7 he was in 2024 than to last year's WR55 finish.

Preseason projection198projected PPR points

What has come back is thinner. Five weeks in, 26 targets and 14 catches, one touchdown, 10.1 a game with a 19.7 spike in week 3 of 2026 and a 3.4 in week 1. The air-yards share has climbed to 31% this year from 22.4% last season, so the downfield role is real, but he sits at WR38 among 64 in red-zone share and has scored once. Deebo Samuel Sr. took a 25% target share here in 2025 to McLaurin's 23%, and a room that crowded has trimmed about 0.9 a game from comparable receivers. Age 31 and a new play caller in David Blough do not fix that.

The availability history is the swing: he missed seven weeks in 2025 and played 17 in both 2023 and 2024, so our 14 expected games were reasonable, but you already burned the week 4 of 2026 absence. Hold him, and keep him out of your lineup until he puts another double-digit scoring week beside that 19.7 from week 3 of 2026. If he follows it with a second strong showing in week 6 of 2026 or after, he is a playable flex again at WR27 on our board.
