FanDuel NFL 2020: Best lineup for Week 2
By Nick Villano
Wide Receiver: Terry McLaurin $6,500
Another cheaper option is a player on an interesting offense. The Washington Football Team actually won their first game of the Ron Rivera era without their best offensive weapon making a huge impact. Terry McLaurin was blanketed by Darius Slay, but he was still able to make five catches for 61 yards. It was more catches than every other Washington receiver.
They face a tough opponent in the Arizona Cardinals who are riding high after just beating the defending NFC champion San Francisco 49ers. The logic here for the McLaurin pick is twofold. Either, this goes exactly how we think, and the Cardinals go up early on Washington, forcing them to throw often to the team’s top receiver, or this could be another surprise from Washington.
McLaurin is going to drive the Washington offense either way. Whether it’s in a surprise effort or in a constant comeback, this team will focus on the sophomore receiver.
The Cardinals secondary isn’t one of the top units on their team, so McLaurin won’t have to deal with the blanket coverage he saw last week. He should have more room to make plays. The only question is whether Dwayne Haskins will be able to get him the ball when those plays open up.
Other options: Cooper Kupp $7,200, Calvin Ridley $7,100
