Who Should I Start? Jalen McMillan or Casey Washington

Monday, December 23, 12:48 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan caught five of his seven targets for 57 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The rookie has been a terrific contributor for Tampa Bay this season, filling in admirably as the team's No. 2 wide receiver with Chris Godwin (ankle) done for the year. McMillan has come on particularly strong lately, catching 14 passes for 191 yards and four touchdowns over his last three games. He has found the end zone in three consecutive contests, cementing himself as a very strong WR3/FLEX option moving forward. He should continue to be started in most leagues ahead of next week's matchup against the Carolina Panthers.

Atlanta Falcons rookie sixth-round wide receiver Casey Washington is already looking like a real value pick for the Falcons, as he's made some of the team's best catches in training camp and is in contention for Atlanta's fourth wide receiver role after the loss of Rondale Moore to a season-ending injury. Washington is competing with the likes of Chris Blair and KhaDarel Hodge for the No. 4 role behind Drake London, Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud III. The Falcons' offense is much more attractive to fantasy managers now that head coach Arthur Smith is gone and quarterback Kirk Cousins is leading the show. The 23-year-old had 49 catches for 670 yards and four touchdowns in his final season at Illinois last year. For now with just a depth role in Atlanta, Washington is one to watch in dynasty/keeper leagues.
