Who Should I Start? K.J. Osborn or Jalen McMillan

Sunday, October 6, 11:35 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver K.J. Osborn (shoulder) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the wrong direction after missing Friday's practice. The 27-year-old has been uninspiring this season, catching just five of 13 targets for 31 yards through four games. He has been outproduced by Demario Douglas and Ja'Lynn Polk, and now he could also lose opportunities to veteran Kendrick Bourne, who was activated from the PUP list this weekend. Between his injury, limited role, and the Patriots' struggling offense, fantasy managers should leave Osborn on waivers in all leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Jalen McMillan (hamstring), who was listed as questionable, is active for the Week 6 divisional game on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. With Trey Palmer (concussion) missing another game, McMillan should operate as the team's WR3 behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. The 22-year-old youngster is returning after missing each of the team's last two games due to a hamstring ailment. In his first three NFL games, McMillan operated as the No. 3 and caught just three of his six targets for 59 yards and one touchdown. The Saints defense has allowed the 19th-most half-PPR fantasy points to wideouts through the first five weeks of the season, so they aren't exactly the greatest matchup for pass-catchers, especially at home in the Caesars Superdome. McMillan is stash-worthy in deeper fantasy leagues, but we wouldn't recommend him for starting lineups this weekend.
