4. Terry McLaurin will go over 1,250 yards receiving

McLaurin led the team in both catches and receptions as a rookie with 58 receptions for 919 yards. He’s set to take another step forward in his sophomore campaign.

Some consistency at the quarterback position should help him each even greater heights in 2020. A solid prediction for McLaurin’s second season as a professional are 75 catches for 1,250 yards.

He may never be the NFL’s most sophisticated route runner, but those skills should take a clear step forward under the watchful eye of Rivera and his offensive coaching staff. McLaurin already has the speed to blow past quality NFL corners. Adding some refinement to that raw athleticism should make him impossible to cover.

His numbers will also get a boost from the amount of time the Redskins are forced to play from behind. Garbage time stats will help pad his totals. Fantasy football owners looking for an undervalued receiver to draft need look no further than McLaurin. He’s in line for a big statistical season.
