Wide Receiver: Terry McLaurin $7,200

The New York Giants are extremely bad this season, and that’s what makes this a good bet, but Terry McLaurin has been sneaky good all season. He has at least three games where he had 16+ points, including a 22-point performance against the Cardinals. Now, the Washington Football Team’s top guy goes into a matchup against a bad defense coming off a bye, while his opponent has a short week. This is a recipe for success.

McLaurin is going to have a monster day as long as Washington keeps throwing. Against bad secondaries, Kyle Allen knows he can just throw it McLaurin’s way and he will likely come down with the catch. He had nearly three times as many targets as anyone else on the team the last time they played against the Cowboys.

The Giants allow an average of 32 points per game to the receiver position. Most teams spread that out between three and four players, but Washington runs its offense through McLaurin. He has 577 yards this season. Next on the team is Logan Thomas with 208. This could be a problem in other matchups, but a putrid team like the New York Giants can’t stop a star like McLaurin. He makes up more than 25 percent of the Washington offense. This will be a good one for him.
