Who Should I Start? Puka Nacua or Tetairoa McMillan

Saturday, November 15, 11:51 AM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua should continue to be deployed as a WR1 in all fantasy football leagues ahead of his Week 11 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Outside of a brief injury blip a handful of weeks ago, Nacua has been a high-end WR1 every week, producing 66 catches for 775 receiving yards and four touchdowns so far. He ranks as the #4 wide receiver in total fantasy points this year, and he's tied with Rashee Rice for #1 in fantasy points per game. This week's matchup against Seattle is noticeably tough, as the Seahawks have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Nevertheless, Nacua is one of those players who you put in your lineup and forget he's there. He should be started as a high-end WR1 every week, and Week 11 is no exception.

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.
