Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Tetairoa McMillan

Monday, October 6, 5:42 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen made NFL history on Sunday by becoming the fastest player to reach 1,000 receptions. He achieved this in just 159 games, eight fewer than Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison. The veteran led the team with five catches for 58 yards on nine targets during their 27-10 loss to the Washington Commanders. It could have been an even bigger day, as some big gains were wiped out by penalties, including a 31-yard catch nullified by an illegal formation call. Despite reaching this milestone, L.A.'s offense struggled to find its rhythm behind a battered line. With rookie running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) placed on IR and facing the vulnerable Miami Dolphins defense next, Allen is expected to remain a primary target for Herbert as the Chargers try to end their two-game losing streak.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (calf) is cleared to suit up for the upcoming Week 5 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. The rookie wideout was a bit banged up this week, but is fine for this weekend. It has been a slow start to the season for McMillan. He hauled in four of his eight targets for 62 yards in the loss to the New England Patriots last week. The good news is, McMillan has seen eight targets or more in every game this season. Sadly, McMillan only surpassed 70 receiving yards in a single game once so far. The Panthers offense isn't clicking right now, which is going to limit McMillan's value. Fantasy managers should consider McMillan a high-end WR3 for this weekend.
