No. 1 – WR Terry McLaurin

Terry McLaurin has fallen into a bit of a statistical slump as of late, though that’s not his fault. Two weeks ago, he fell victim to a torrential downpour that turned back the clock a few decades for the team’s matchup against the 49ers, and last week, the Vikings dominated the time of possession battle, limiting his opportunities.

McLaurin has an opportunity to get back on track against the Bills, but it won’t be easy. The Bills have one of the league’s elite young cornerbacks in TreDavious White, and he brings a skill set that matches up well with McLaurin’s quick, compact play style.

Much like the Quinton Dunbar-John Brown matchup is crucial for the Bills offense, this duel will be critical for the success of the Redskins offense. Whenever Washington’s offensive unit has had success this season, it’s been with McLaurin on the receiving end. The rookie knows how to get open even against the toughest competition, and on Sunday, he’ll have a chance to reinforce that truth.
