Who Should I Start? Mason Taylor or Tetairoa McMillan

Friday, December 12, 12:05 PM

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (neck) won't be available for Sunday's road clash with the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. The 21-year-old sustained a neck injury in last weekend's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins that caused him to begin the week with two DNPs at practice. It will be the first missed game of the LSU product's career. Taylor isn't the only starter the Jets will be missing in Week 15, as rookie signal-caller Brady Cook will get the start in veteran Tyrod Taylor's (groin) stead. With Taylor out, fellow tight end Jeremy Ruckert will slot in as the team's first option at the position. Andrew Beck and Stone Smartt (concussion) figure to rotate in behind him.

Tetairoa McMillan wasn't very busy in Week 13, but still made a notable impact in the Panthers' stunning 31-28 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. The rookie WR was targeted just twice, his lowest target count of the season. However, McMillan caught a 43-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter that proved to be the game-clinching score. McMillan has now caught TD passes in three consecutive games, and he finished Week 13 with 11.3 PPR points. In Week 15, after a bye, Carolina will face the New Orleans Saints in a Week 10 rematch. In the first meeting against the Saints, McMillan finished with 60 yards on five receptions. New Orleans ranked 20th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to WRs in the four weeks leading up to Week 13. Although he did not see much volume in Week 13, McMillan has a favorable matchup in Week 15, where he is likely to see more targets. Due to his solid fantasy floor this season, McMillan is worth considering as a WR3 or flex start.
