Who Should I Start? DeVonta Smith or Tetairoa McMillan

Sunday, October 19, 5:29 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught nine of his 11 targets for 183 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 7 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The highlight of his performance was a 79-yard touchdown catch that extended Philadelphia's lead to two possessions in the third quarter. Smith led the team in receiving yards and combined with A.J. Brown for the entirety of the Eagles' offensive scoring. The 26-year-old hasn't been very consistent week over week, but games like these remind managers of his extreme upside. He should continue to be viewed as a solid WR2 heading into Week 8 against the New York Giants.

Rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan will be looking to get more involved in the flow of the passing game against the Buffalo Bills in Week 8. In terms of receptions and yardage, McMillan has not been productive over the last two weeks, totalling 62 yards on six catches. However, in Week 6, he did reward those who started him in fantasy football with two touchdown receptions. McMillan needs to click with quarterback Andy Dalton if the Panthers hope to stay close with the Bills. If Buffalo races away with the lead, though, McMillan could pad his numbers in catch-up mode. The matchup is not daunting, as the Bills rank 15th in fantasy points per game to wide receivers over the past four weeks (30.3). Continue to start McMillan as you normally would as a fantasy WR2/3. While the numbers have been disappointing recently, he is capable of showing his upside in any given week.
