Jakobi Meyers or Terry McLaurin: Who should I start in Week 17 Fantasy Football?

Week 16 was certainly an interesting round of games led by the Washington Commanders' nail-biting finish against the Philadelphia Eagles, which ended in a 36-33 win for Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin and Co.

This week offers another opportunity for Kliff Kingsbury's offense to prove that the mid-season blip was just that - a mid-season one. As they get set to face the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football, here's everything you need to know about McLaurin's fantasy outlook along with a look at Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers' fantasy potential for the week.

Terry McLaurin fantasy projection for Week 17

Terry McLaurin's case is a pretty curious one. Among receivers, McLaurin is second in the league with 12 touchdowns, only behind Cincinnati Bengals playmaker Ja'Marr Chase, who has 16. Interestingly, McLaurin's dozen touchdowns have come off 35 fewer receptions than Ja'Marr Chase's 108.

The Washington Commanders WR has not been on the receiving end of a whole lot of targets but has made the most of his opportunities to stretch the field and given rookie Jayden Daniels something to work with. Entering Week 17, McLaurin ranks 26th in the NFL in total targets so the volume remains a bit of an issue. But that should not be a factor against Atlanta, a team that has given up 20 TD catches to opposing WRs this season.

Jakobi Meyers fantasy projection for Week 17

It's pretty interesting how the New England Patriots' wide receivers cannot seem to catch the ball but Jakobi Meyers is having a stellar year in a pretty disastrous Las Vegas Raiders offense.

Meyers had an off day last week when he caught 2 of his 5 targets for 41 yards in the 19-14 win over the Jaguars but you can put that down to a bump in the road.

The Raiders go up against the New Orleans Saints this week so we don't particularly love this matchup for Meyers. At best, the Raiders WR remains a WR3 play but we don't suggest depending on him for a big haul in Week 17.
