Terry McLaurin's fantasy projection for Week 16
For a while, it looked like the Kliff Kingsbury effect would follow Commanders of Washington in the second half of the season. After an impressive start led by rookie Jayden Daniels, the Chiefs offense faltered, and many wondered if the league had already figured them out.
A 42-19 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 13 put those notions to bed, but a tight 20-19 win over the New Orleans Saints brought up some old questions again.
Terry McLaurin, meanwhile, made a bit of history in that Week 15 win over New Orleans by becoming the first Washington receiver with a double-digit touchdown season since Gary Clark (1991). McLaurin finished the night with seven of his 10 targets for 73 yards and two touchdowns. This marked his second consecutive multiple scoring week, his fourth overall this season.
At this point, the volume is clearly there, and McLaurin is essentially matchup-proof in this offense.
Keenan Allen's Week 16 Fantasy Projection
A man who isn't quite as confrontational as Terry McLaurin is Chicago bones wide receiver Keenan Allen. The Bears will take on the Detroit Lions this week, and even if the NFC's top dogs have suffered a ton of injuries on defense, we're not exactly excited about this matchup.
On Monday night, Allen had a season-high 155 receiving yards, marking his sixth triple-digit receiving yardage this year. However, Allen did not impress in the Week 13 loss to the Lions.
It's hard to bet on any Bears receiver right now. Caleb Williams He hasn't shown any signs of development either, while Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels have shouldered much of the load on offense when required. The matchup is not good, the attack is clumsy. We recommend you stay away from Allen this week.
Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer he agrees, projecting a 12.7-point return for McLaurin with a decent shot at a touchdown.
