Who Should I Start? Greg Dortch or Jalen McMillan

Saturday, November 15, 11:25 AM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch is expected to handle increased opportunities with Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) sidelined for Sunday's Week 11 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. Dortch hasn't caught a pass in his last two games, but he has continued to earn offensive snaps while also maintaining his involvement as a returner on special teams. An inconsistent role has limited Dortch's fantasy relevance for a long time, but single-week opportunities like these -- as the No. 2 receiver behind Michael Wilson -- give him an opportunity to make an impact as a low-end WR3/flex. The Cardinals will need to throw the ball to keep within striking distance of the 49ers, and Jacoby Brissett has played quite well lately. He should help elevate Dortch's game against a Niners defense allowing the ninth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025.

When asked about wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck), Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said his timetable for a return hasn't changed with the news that he's dealing with broken bones in his neck, in addition to a severe sprain that he suffered in the preseason. When asked if a December timetable is still in play, Bowles said, "See how it heals." The 23-year-old has shown some improvement, and the Bucs still have hope that he can return at some point this season, but for fantasy purposes, it's unlikely that McMillan is going to have any kind of impact. Tampa could sure use the help at receiver, though, with Mike Evans (collarbone) potentially missing the rest of the year, and Chris Godwin (leg) still not practicing. The injuries at wideout for the Bucs have opened the door for rookie Tez Johnson to become a weekly flex play in fantasy behind rookie first-rounder Emeka Egbuka.
