Terry McLaurin is a good fantasy option in Week 15 as the star receiver is the Washington Commanders No. 1 option.

McLaurin is a deep-ball threat and can rack up yards with limited catches. The Commanders are coming off their bye week so he will be well-rested. The previous week, he had 73 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Is Mike Evans a good fantasy pick?

Mike Evans is a great fantasy pick every single week he is playing.

Evans is not only the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' top receiver, but he's one of the best receivers in the NFL. Evans did deal with some injuries this season, but he's healthy now.

Evans is coming off a game with just four receptions for 69 yards. It was a rather disappointing week, but Evans is a good touchdown threat and can easily surpass 100+ receiving yards a week.

Terry McLaurin or Mike Evans: Who Should I Start?

Sportskeeda's fantasy start/sit optimizer suggests that fantasy managers should start Terry McLaurin over Mike Evans.

Fantasy projections

Detailed fantasy projections

The tool projects McLaurin will get 18.2 fantasy points while Evans will record 17 points in a full PPR league.

The tool projects McLaurin to record six receptions for 87.8 receiving yards and has a 50-50 chance of recording a touchdown. Evans, meanwhile, is projected to record five receptions for 72.2 yards and is expected to find the endzone.

But the 15 extra yards the tool projects for McLaurin is the difference in why the tool suggests starting McLaurin over Evans.

However, both receivers should be in your starting lineup in Week 15, especially with the playoffs going on.
