Terry McLaurin vs Travis Hunter: Who Should You Start?
Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Terry McLaurin (Washington Commanders) finished the 2025 season averaging 9.5 fantasy points per game in 10 games. Travis Hunter (Jacksonville Jaguars) came in at 7.1 PPG over 7 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Terry McLaurin carries a 2.4-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Terry McLaurin turned 60 targets into 582 yards and 3 touchdowns, while Travis Hunter converted 45 looks into 298 yards and 1 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
One scheduling note: Terry McLaurin is off Week 14 and Travis Hunter Week 12. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in wide receiver for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
