Wide Receiver Analysis for Week 1

Terry McLaurin (Washington Commanders)

  • Matchup: Playing away against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

  • Quarterback Situation: With Jayden Daniels, a rookie, starting at QB for Washington, there will be an element of unpredictability. Daniels is known for his dual-threat ability, which could be a double-edged sword for McLaurin. On the one hand, his mobility could extend plays and provide more downfield opportunities. On the other hand, rookie QBs often face a learning curve, and there could be inconsistencies in the passing game.

  • Pros:
    • McLaurin remains the top target and most reliable receiver on the Commanders, likely to receive a high target share.
    • Tampa Bay’s secondary has vulnerabilities that McLaurin could exploit, especially if the rookie QB settles in and builds chemistry with him early.

  • Cons:
    • The volatility of a rookie quarterback and the potential for a run-heavy game plan could limit McLaurin’s upside.

Chris Godwin (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)

  • Matchup: Playing at home against the Washington Commanders.

  • Quarterback Situation: With Baker Mayfield as the starting QB, Godwin will likely benefit from short and intermediate passes, which aligns well with his skill set.

  • Pros:
    • Godwin has a safer floor due to his established role in the offense and expected target volume. He excels in PPR formats.
    • Playing at home gives the Buccaneers an advantage, and they may lean on the passing game against Washington’s tough run defense.

  • Cons:
    • There is still some uncertainty with Mayfield’s consistency and the Buccaneers’ offensive line.
