Chris Rodriguez Jr. or Terry McLaurin: Who Should You Start?

Start Terry McLaurin: his centerpiece role outweighs Rodriguez's favorable script

Terry McLaurin is the clear head-to-head choice because Washington's offensive centerpiece role gives him a far stronger weekly floor than Chris Rodriguez Jr.'s complementary workload. Rodriguez does benefit from Jacksonville playing as a favorite, and his downhill style creates a touchdown path, but his split-backfield role and limited receiving involvement make that path narrow. McLaurin's tougher receiver matchup and lower team total are real risks, yet his route volume is much more dependable in PPR.

What flips it: A confirmed every-down role for Rodriguez.
