STM Take

McLaurin at STTM #31 tier 4 in 2025 (down from #12 tier 2 in 2024) reflects the Jayden Daniels injury-shortened year and the Deebo Samuel target-share addition. The 6'0" frame plus the 6,961 career yards across QB changes makes him the league's most consistent WR-on-bad-teams profile. The 2024 second-team All-Pro is the recent peak; the 2025 slide is largely QB-driven.

McLaurin was born in Indianapolis, attended Cathedral, and won the 2015 CFP national title at Ohio State. Washington took him 76th overall in the 2019 NFL Draft. He has made two Pro Bowls (2022, 2024) and earned second-team All-Pro honors in 2024. Career line is 498 catches for 6,961 yards and 41 TDs across seven seasons.

Strengths

  • 2024 second-team All-Pro at age 30 with seven years of consistent WR1 production despite cycling through Washington QBs.
  • Career 498 catches for 6,961 yards across the Heinicke/Wentz/Smith/Daniels era; the role survives any system.

Concerns

  • 19-rank slide from 2024 to 2025; the trajectory at age 30 trends downward with the Daniels injury complications.
  • Deebo Samuel addition splits the target share that previously concentrated around him.

What to watch: Whether Daniels plays 17 games in 2026 and re-prioritizes McLaurin as the WR1 target.
