Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Tetairoa McMillan

Saturday, November 15, 12:08 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers had three catches for 41 yards in Week 10 versus the Texans. Although he wasn't a safe fantasy option against a tough Houston defense, especially with it being his first game on a new team, fantasy managers were still hoping for more due to the absence of Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle). With a poor showing in the rear-view mirror, Meyers will look to get things going in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Thomas is questionable for that one. If he doesn't suit up, Meyers has a chance to see more than the 27 offensive snaps he received in Week 10. Granted, he still wouldn't be an ideal fantasy option. However, the upside is there, so he should at least draw consideration from those with nowhere else to turn.

Tetairoa McMillan posted just adequate numbers but was Carolina's top wide receiver again in Week 10 against the Saints. The rookie WR totaled 11 Fantasy PPR Points with 60 yards on five receptions. Week 10 was the third time in the last five weeks that McMillan posted double-digit PPR points totals. Carolina's opponent for Week 11 is the Atlanta Falcons, who rank eighth in Fantasy Points allowed to WRs this season. Atlanta has a run-funnel defense that allows 26.53 points to RBs this season, which ranks 29th in the league. Look for Carolina to rely more on their ground game this week. Despite Carolina's run-heavy approach, McMillan provides enough of a respectable statistical floor to be a starter in fantasy leagues.
