Who Should I Start? Rashid Shaheed or Tetairoa McMillan

Friday, October 24, 8:32 PM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed led the team with nine targets in the Week 7 loss to the Bears. The speedster caught four passes for 40 yards, marking his sixth straight game with exactly four receptions. Shaheed remains the clear No. 2 option behind Chris Olave, and without the explosive downfield plays, his upside remains capped. He continues to profile as a boom-or-bust player on a weekly basis, and will try to break through against a Buccaneers secondary allowing 7.0 yards per pass attempt and 229.0 passing yards per game.

Rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan will be looking to get more involved in the flow of the passing game against the Buffalo Bills in Week 8. In terms of receptions and yardage, McMillan has not been productive over the last two weeks, totalling 62 yards on six catches. However, in Week 6, he did reward those who started him in fantasy football with two touchdown receptions. McMillan needs to click with quarterback Andy Dalton if the Panthers hope to stay close with the Bills. If Buffalo races away with the lead, though, McMillan could pad his numbers in catch-up mode. The matchup is not daunting, as the Bills rank 15th in fantasy points per game to wide receivers over the past four weeks (30.3). Continue to start McMillan as you normally would as a fantasy WR2/3. While the numbers have been disappointing recently, he is capable of showing his upside in any given week.
