Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Jalen McMillan

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson scored his first touchdown of the season in Week 16, but was only involved enough to see one other target and finished the game with two catches for 23 yards and the score. Since the 49ers' Week 14 bye, Robinson has slid back behind Kendrick Bourne on the depth chart, but saw a slight uptick in playing time last week with Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) sidelined due to injuries. Pearsall is questionable for Week 17, as is tight end George Kittle (ankle). Even if both players were to be declared inactive, Robinson would be a long shot to provide fantasy value. In 12 games with the 49ers, Robinson has averaged 2.3 targets per game and owns a 17-222-1 line despite the many injuries to key pass-catchers throughout the season. Robinson is too low of a priority in the 49ers' pecking order to warrant use in the final weekend of fantasy football.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan hasn't made much of an impact since making his season debut in Week 15. McMillan has hauled in four of his five targets for 53 yards and has yet to find the end zone. The 24-year-old has good long-term upside, but he doesn't appear to be a viable fantasy option right now. He figures to fight for playing time as the No. 3 wideout with rookie Emeka Egbuka. McMillan has a decent matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 17, but he can't be trusted as a third or fourth passing option. The second-year wideout is worth stashing in dynasty formats, but he should be on the waiver wire in 12-team fantasy formats.
