Terry McLaurin vs. Seattle — High Target Volume Faces Quarterback Uncertainty

McLaurin remains Washington's undisputed primary receiver, commanding nine targets in Week 2 after seeing four in the opener. However, starting quarterback Jayden Daniels is doubtful due to an elbow injury, likely leaving Marcus Mariota under center for a home matchup against an undefeated Seahawks team favored by over a touchdown.

Our weekly projection slots McLaurin for roughly 3.7 receptions and 52 receiving yards on nearly seven targets (10.7 fantasy points). While fantasy start rates have tumbled toward 50% given his quiet four catches on the season and Daniels' absence, expected negative game script should keep his volume viable as a risky flex option.

Outlook Makai Lemon

Makai Lemon at Chicago — rookie slot receiver remains off fantasy radars

Lemon has operated as Philadelphia's primary slot receiver, but his rookie campaign has opened slowly with only four receptions for nine yards through two contests. While starting wideout DeVonta Smith missed Thursday's practice with a hamstring injury, Lemon has yet to carve out a consistent target share to capitalize on potential lineup openings.

Our weekly projection expects around two catches for 25 yards in what profiles as a low-scoring defensive battle against Chicago. Fantasy managers have steadily moved away from Lemon, with his roster rate sliding down to 61% and start rates hovering near 2%, making him a clear bench option until his role expands.
