Who Should I Start? Jalen McMillan or Elic Ayomanor

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.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor has had a solid rookie season through nine games, leading the team in receiving with 26 receptions for 323 yards and two touchdowns on 53 targets. Ayomanor has recorded multiple receptions in every game, but has only eclipsed 50 receiving yards twice in a struggling Titans offense. The rookie out of Stanford posted back-to-back games with touchdowns in Weeks 2 and three, scoring a combined 29.4 PPR points. However, in six games since then, Ayomanor has totaled just 37.6 total fantasy points. The rookie wideout could be an intriguing add off the waiver wire for Week 11 as he may see an increase in targets and production after the team's Week 10 bye, while continuing to build a rapport with fellow rookie Cameron Ward, but he's also been outproduced by Chimere Dike in recent weeks.
