Who Should I Start? Puka Nacua or Tetairoa McMillan

Saturday, November 22, 4:27 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua continues to be a must-start fantasy option for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 24-year-old has put together another phenomenal season; he ranks as the overall WR3 in fantasy scoring this season, and he would be in the running for the top spot if he hadn't missed time due to injury earlier this year. Despite playing fewer than two-thirds of the offensive snaps in each of his last three games, Nacua has totaled 19 catches, 234 receiving yards, and two receiving touchdowns during that span. This week, he gets a relatively favorable matchup against the Bucs, who have allowed the 15th-most fantasy points, 11th-most receptions, and eighth-most receiving yards to opposing receivers in 2025. Nacua ranks as the overall WR2 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings, which puts him in the list's top tier.

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan caught just two of seven targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 20-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. McMillan and quarterback Bryce Young struggled to connect in this game, with the two often on the wrong page or Young delivering an inaccurate ball. The rookie wideout isn't without blame, however, as he had a bad drop on a third down in the first half. McMillan was at least able to connect with Young on a beautiful 29-yard touchdown late in the third quarter to at least salvage a decent fantasy day for managers. It was still a disappointing result for the Panthers' passing attack after a great performance last week against the Atlanta Falcons, when McMillan went for 130 yards and two touchdowns. McMillan still projects favorably as the Panthers' clear No. 1 target for their Week 13 matchup against the NFC-leading Los Angeles Rams.
