Commanders’ Terry McLaurin pinpoints 1 training camp star fantasy football managers will want to know

The Washington Commanders are still trying to figure out roster components, in particular at the wide receiver position. However, Terry McLaurin pinpointed one training camp star who fantasy football managers will want to know, according to a post on X by Zach Selby.

“He’s a quiet guy,” McLaurin said. “But I think his play speaks for a lot of who he is. He’s very smooth. And he’s twitchy. When he’s running routes, he’s very sudden. And you don’t quite know when he’s breaking until he breaks. Then he has the explosiveness to get out of his cuts. And he has really good hands.”

Commanders hoping WR Antonio Williams will be a key player

McLaurin said Williams has a natural fit to have success at getting open and catching passes.

“He has a good feel for the receiver position,” McLaurin said. “I think he has a chance to really help us. He’s just done everything that we’ve asked him to do. I think he has a bright future.”

And it’s not just a teammate singing the praises of Williams. ESPN’s Ben Solak sees a bright 2026 for Williams. He predicted Williams would win Offensive Rookie of the Year.

“Williams is also a hand-in-glove fit for David Blough’s Detroit-inspired offense,” Solak wrote. “Williams is an easy glider who makes fearless catches over the middle of the field. He dramatically improved his drop rate in 2025 and has that knack for QB friendliness: smart routes, good adjustments to bad balls, inside/out versatility and YAC ability.”

Solak said Williams is cut from the Amon-Ra St. Brown cloth. That’s a good comp for Williams because St. Brown broke into the Lions’ starting lineup as a fourth-round rookie.

Of course, Williams has to get the opportunities if he is going to succeed. And that means quarterback Jayden Daniels has to trust the young receiver enough to pepper him with targets. Williams is ready for that role.

“He has the deep tool kit and reliable play style to sustain that volume,” Solak wrote. “There are few middle-round rookies for whom I have rosier Year 1 projections than Williams.”
