Stud No. 1 – Redskins WR Terry McLaurin

Terry McLaurin is the only regular in our No. 1 stud spot this season, as he’s time and again proven himself to be not just one of the best rookie wide receivers in the league, but one of the more dynamic weapons overall. The future is bright for McLaurin, and this season has been a testament to that.

Against the Eagles, McLaurin broke his streak of games below 100 receiving yards, amassing 130 yards and a touchdown on five catches. His performance was accentuated by the play below, in which McLaurin caught an intermediate pass, broke a tackle, and used his speed to take it 75 yards, to the house.

Bright spots have been few and far between in this disappointing Redskins season, but McLaurin has proven he’s more than just a flash in the pan. Through thirteen played games, McLaurin has 51 receptions for 833 yards and seven touchdowns, and if he keeps pace for the final two games of the season, he can break the 1,000-yard mark.

The Redskins will need dynamic weapons to help Dwayne Haskins reach the next step in his development, and it seems clear that Haskins’ college team mate will be a very big part of that department.
