Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Tetairoa McMillan

Thursday, October 30, 7:23 PM

The Las Vegas Raiders have yet to find a trade partner for wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, but NFL Network's Mike Garafolo said that he "wouldn't give up hope on this one just yet." The deadline for the Raiders to trade Meyers is next Tuesday, so they still have a bit of time to work something out with a contending NFL team looking to bolster their receiving corps. The Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos, and Pittsburgh Steelers have been the teams most connected to the WR market in recent weeks. Meyers, who is having a disappointing 2025 campaign while working with quarterback Geno Smith, requested a trade early in the season and said recently that he's still open to being dealt. Vegas' recent acquisition of veteran Tyler Lockett gives them extra depth if they end up trading Meyers out of town, although Lockett still probably wouldn't have much fantasy appeal in that scenario.

Tetairoa McMillan was the only standout player from the Panthers last week, delivering one of his top fantasy performances of the season. The rookie wide receiver had seven receptions for 99 yards, earning 16.9 PPR fantasy points against the Buffalo Bills. It was the sixth time this year that McMillan recorded double-digit PPR fantasy points. With the Panthers facing the Green Bay Packers in Week 9, McMillan may be in for another favorable situation. The Packers rank 22nd in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers (34.01) over the past four weeks. Last week, two Pittsburgh Steelers WRs finished top-14 in PPR scoring against them. McMillan remains a must-start option, and hopefully, Bryce Young can elevate his numbers in catch-up mode like Andy Dalton did last week.
