Who Should I Start? Dareke Young or Jalen McMillan

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Dareke Young caught three of his four targets for a team-high 44 receiving yards in Saturday's 16-3 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. The 2022 draftee's catch and target totals also tied for most on the team. He was also involved in Seattle's longest play of the game. Tucked in close to the Seahawks' line, Young was marked only by a linebacker who he easily outran while crossing over the middle. Once open, Sam Howell fired a dart to Young for a gain of 26 yards. Young showed good hands in the game but he is not a viable fantasy option.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers second-year wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) was one of a handful of players, along with Mike Evans and Tristan Wirfs, that head coach Todd Bowles told reporters are in play for Thursday night's divisional game against the Falcons. Still on IR, McMillan returned to practice last week and was able to log a slate of limited participations after suffering multiple fractures in his neck as well as additional ligament damage in a gruesome-looking preseason injury. As a rookie in 2024, McMillan came on strong down the stretch and was a key piece to many fantasy championships. Expecting him to do the same this year is unreasonable, as he will likely slot in as the team's WR4/5 upon his return, but with the Buccaneers fighting for a playoff spot, he could be a cheap DFS play who has already demonstrated huge touchdown upside, coming down with seven touchdown grabs in his final five games last year.
