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

Friday, November 28, 8:20 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown is on a heater. After publicly complaining about his role in what has been a lackluster offense in 2025, Brown has now gone over 100 yards receiving in each of the last two games while scoring three times. In the team's 24-15 loss to the visiting Chicago Bears on Black Friday, the 28-year-old caught a season-high 10 passes on 12 targets (also a season high) for a season-high 132 yards and two touchdowns. Philly's offense didn't look great once again outside of Brown's big game against Chicago. For the time being, he has returned to the WR1 role in Philly over DeVonta Smith, but that could easily change heading into the team's Week 14 tilt on the road on Monday Night Football against the Chargers. Fantasy managers have to like the way things are trending with Brown at the moment, though, as we get closer to the fantasy postseason.

Tetairoa McMillan wasn't very busy in Week 13, but still made a notable impact in the Panthers' stunning 31-28 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. The rookie WR was targeted just twice, his lowest target count of the season. However, McMillan caught a 43-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter that proved to be the game-clinching score. McMillan has now caught TD passes in three consecutive games, and he finished Week 13 with 11.3 PPR points. In Week 15, after a bye, Carolina will face the New Orleans Saints in a Week 10 rematch. In the first meeting against the Saints, McMillan finished with 60 yards on five receptions. New Orleans ranked 20th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to WRs in the four weeks leading up to Week 13. Although he did not see much volume in Week 13, McMillan has a favorable matchup in Week 15, where he is likely to see more targets. Due to his solid fantasy floor this season, McMillan is worth considering as a WR3 or flex start.
