Who Should I Start? Jalen McMillan or Isaiah Bond

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost veteran wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) to a broken clavicle in their Monday night loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 7, and the future Hall of Famer is expected to miss most of the rest of the season. It's a big blow to a Buccaneers offense that has also missed receiver Chris Godwin (leg) for the last two games. Fellow wideout Jalen McMillan suffered a serious neck injury in the preseason and was put on Injured Reserve in August, and while the Bucs are hoping he can return at some point in 2025, there remains no timetable for his return to action. The 23-year-old reportedly was still in a neck brace just under two weeks ago, but the team remains hopeful that he'll be able to play this year. For now, with no Evans and with Godwin nursing a fibula injury, the Bucs will head into Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints with rookie first-rounder Emeka Egbuka, Sterling Shepard, and Tez Johnson as their top three receivers.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond continued his recent lull in a 32-13 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 8. Bond was unable to catch any of his four targets in the blowout loss, giving him two straight games without a catch as the Browns head into their Week 9 bye. The rookie receiver showed flashes early in the season, but a punchless Cleveland passing attack has crushed any hope of fantasy value for Bond this season. He remains a solid stash in deep dynasty leagues heading forward but Bond is unlikely to make much of an impact over the second half of the season for the Browns this year. His next game comes in Week 10 on the road against the New York Jets.
