Who Should I Start? Jalen McMillan or Isaiah Bond

Thursday, November 20, 1:30 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) was seen on Thursday without a neck brace, and he's supposedly targeting a return in December, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. McMillan's 21-day practice window has not yet been opened, though, as he recovers from multiple broken bones in his neck and a severe sprain that he suffered in the preseason. It's good news that the 23-year-old might be able to return next month as the Bucs push toward a playoff berth, especially with veteran wideout Mike Evans (collarbone) unlikely to contribute again during the regular season. McMillan's role if/when he returns is unclear, though, and injured receiver Chris Godwin (leg) could also be back by then. McMillan may be the WR4 behind Godwin and rookies Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson when he's activated, which means he shouldn't be a priority stash in fantasy leagues at this time.

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond (foot) will miss Sunday's game against the Jets with a foot injury sustained in the team's Week 8 loss to the Patriots. Following a Week 9 bye, Bond has yet to return to practice and was ruled out of action on Friday. Since accumulating a season-high 58 yards on three catches in Week 4, Bond has made only four catches over his past four games and has been blanked from the stat sheet in the last two. Anyone still holding onto him in redraft leagues can drop him without reservation, and a similar move needs to be at least considered in dynasty leagues, depending on available options on waivers.
