Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or Tetairoa McMillan

Saturday, November 8, 4:20 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) is off the final injury report ahead of Monday night's primetime matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Brown missed Philadelphia's Week 8 win over the New York Giants due to the hamstring injury, but had the Week 9 bye to rest and practiced in full every day this week. The star wideout posted his best game of the season last time he suited up in Week 7 against the Minnesota Vikings, catching four of his six targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns. That marked Brown's first two-touchdown game since Week 8 of the 2023 season. The 28-year-old has had a disappointing season to date, but could be in for a big second half as Jalen Hurts and the Eagles' passing game have gotten rolling. Brown ranks as RotoBaller's WR9 in PPR leagues for Monday night against the Packers.

Tetairoa McMillan was the top wide receiver again for the Panthers in the 17-7 loss against New Orleans, but his numbers were only adequate. The rookie wide receiver totaled 60 yards on five receptions and registered 11 PPR fantasy points. This was the third time in five games in which McMillan posted double-digit PPR points. In Week 11, the Panthers are up against the Atlanta Falcons, who ranked eighth in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to WRs entering Week 10. Atlanta also ranked 31st in FFPG allowed to RBs over the four weeks leading up to Week 10 and allowed 244 rushing yards to Jonathan Taylor on Sunday. With Atlanta being vulnerable to the run more than the passing game, expect the Panthers to rely on their ground game. Despite a run-first approach, fantasy players should continue to start McMillan, as he can provide a decent statistical floor in any week.
