It’s never too early to start thinking about fantasy football, is it?
The NFL season only just ended, with the Kansas City Chiefs defeating the San Francisco 49ers, but if you’re a fantasy nerd, like many of us are, the basketball season just doesn’t quite cut it when you have 17 weeks of pure bliss each fall.
While we are a discouraging number of months away from 2020 fantasy mock drafts to be an acceptable meeting place once again, that doesn’t mean you can’t sneak in a little bit of research on the side. With the help of our friends at NFL Network, we are able to do so, as Michael Fabiano ranked the top-200 players to look at going into the next season. For the Washington Redskins, they have seven players making that cut, with WR Terry McLaurin heading up that list at No. 59.
Here’s a breakdown of the seven players tabbed by Fabiano.
No. 59 — Terry McLaurin (WR29)
This rookie was definitely one of the lone bright spots for the Redskins in 2019, and his seven touchdowns and 900+ receiving yards made him a nice contributor for whatever fantasy manager dared to draft him or pick him up off of waivers, early in the year.
With more than 60 yards and a touchdown in both of his first two games, McLaurin became an instant sensation among the fantasy community, and he was able to keep up pretty decent production despite some rocky quarterback play for the Redskins.
As defenses start to key on his strengths, things will definitely get tougher for McLaurin down the road, but he is only going to get better, as the offense in Washington continues to improve.
