Who Should I Start? CeeDee Lamb or Tetairoa McMillan

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) is "grateful" to be healthy. The wideout finished the 2023-24 campaign by amassing 135 receptions for 1,749 yards and totaling 14 touchdowns. However, he wasn't as productive last season, finishing with 101 grabs for 1,194 yards while finding the end zone only six times. Unfortunately, Lamb sustained an AC joint sprain in Week 9, an injury that plagued him for the remainder of the year while also causing his decline in production. However, he appears in good spirits and ready for Week 1. "I want to say a good five months of real recovery and rehab," said Lamb. "I don't know. I'm grateful to have two arms. I can tell you that." Lamb has seen his fantasy stock fall somewhat this offseason after regressing in 2024-25. Yet, if Lamb and Dak Prescott (hamstring) can both stay on the field this season, the 2020 No. 17 overall pick is in the running to reclaim his spot as the top fantasy receiver.

The Carolina Panthers have signed rookie first-round wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan to a four-year, $27.93 million contract. McMillan was the first receiver selected in April's draft, chosen No. 8 overall by Carolina. The hulking pass-catcher (6-foot-4) will reportedly operate as the team's X receiver with veteran Adam Thielen manning the slot and Xavier Legette rounding out the corps at the Z. It's a natural fit for the Arizona product, as his frame and metrics support the position. He was excellent during his final two seasons at college, amassing 174 receptions, 2,721 yards, and 18 touchdowns, and projects to slot in as a high-volume target for quarterback Bryce Young. McMillan is a superb selection early in rookie drafts, and could garner appeal in redraft leagues if Young's improvements from the tail end of 2024 stick.
