Who Should I Start? Marvin Harrison Jr. or Tetairoa McMillan

Wednesday, November 12, 11:59 AM

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) underwent surgery for appendicitis and will be sidelined for "at least this week and possibly longer." It's a tough blow for the 23-year-old, who had recorded 10 catches for 129 yards and two touchdowns on 22 targets over the last two weeks. Harrison Jr. will now miss his team's Week 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, and it appears there's no guarantee he'll be back in Week 12 to face the Jacksonville Jaguars. Without Harrison Jr. on the field, Arizona tight end Trey McBride could see an even larger target share. Additionally, Cardinals wideout Michael Wilson could be in line for significantly more looks from quarterback Jacoby Brissett. Wilson saw a season-high seven targets in Week 10 and may be in for another target spike in Week 11.

Tetairoa McMillan posted just adequate numbers but was Carolina's top wide receiver again in Week 10 against the Saints. The rookie WR totaled 11 Fantasy PPR Points with 60 yards on five receptions. Week 10 was the third time in the last five weeks that McMillan posted double-digit PPR points totals. Carolina's opponent for Week 11 is the Atlanta Falcons, who rank eighth in Fantasy Points allowed to WRs this season. Atlanta has a run-funnel defense that allows 26.53 points to RBs this season, which ranks 29th in the league. Look for Carolina to rely more on their ground game this week. Despite Carolina's run-heavy approach, McMillan provides enough of a respectable statistical floor to be a starter in fantasy leagues.
