Who Should I Start? Jalen McMillan or Jordan Whittington

Wednesday, November 5, 3:25 PM

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.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (back) was not a reliable fantasy option when healthy. Now, he's listed as questionable for Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers and remains off the fantasy radar. The 25-year-old saw his snap share drop to 44 percent last week, and he didn't command a single target in the Rams' win. He has a total of 12 catches for 121 yards this year and hasn't topped three receptions in a single contest despite playing 92 percent of the snaps in Puka Nacua's stead during Week 6. Even when Nacua was sidelined, Whittington wasn't a reliable fantasy option. Now that Nacua and Davante Adams are both healthy and Whittington's status is up in the air, he belongs on waivers in all fantasy leagues.
