Who Should I Start? Justin Jefferson or Tetairoa McMillan

Friday, November 7, 6:11 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is yet again a WR1 option when his team plays host to the Baltimore Ravens, who have allowed opposing teams to score on 48% of their drives, the fourth-highest rate in the NFL. Baltimore ranks 23rd against PPR receivers this season and has allowed the seventh-most air yards on the season, though the Ravens have looked significantly improved during the past month, during which they've allowed their past three opponents an average of 13 points. Behind quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who is playing for the first time after missing his entire rookie season and five games this year, the Vikings threw for only 143 yards last week in a win at Detroit. Even in a light week, Jefferson still drew nine targets and caught a touchdown, which should inspire some optimism as Minnesota sticks with McCarthy full-time. Though Minnesota figures to have some bumps in the road with a young quarterback, Jefferson is too good to be held in check for long stretches.

Carolina Panthers rookie first-round wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) was added to Friday's injury report with a hamstring injury and is now questionable to play on Sunday against the division-rival New Orleans Saints in Week 10. Head coach Dave Canales said McMillan's hamstring issue "popped up" on Friday. The 22-year-old wasn't listed on the weekly injury report on Wednesday or Thursday. Late-week additions to the injury report are usually never a good thing, so fantasy managers should not be surprised if McMillan is unavailable to play this weekend or limited if he's on the field. In his first NFL season, McMillan has been the Panthers' most consistent pass-catcher, hauling in 41 of his 69 targets for 558 yards and two touchdowns in nine starts. If he cannot go against New Orleans, Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker would be in play as flex options in fantasy leagues, with rookie Jimmy Horn Jr. being elevated to the No. 3 role.
