Who Should I Start? Terry McLaurin or Tetairoa McMillan

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) will not play against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid in Week 11, according to JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington. McLaurin missed four games earlier this season with a quad injury suffered in Week 4 and then aggravated the injury in Week 8. The 30-year-old has not practiced or played since the aggravation, and now he'll miss a third straight game in Week 11. Washington has its bye in Week 12, so the earliest we'll see McLaurin again will be for a Sunday night contest in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. The former third-round pick has been a fantasy bust in 2025 after going over 1,000 receiving yards for the fifth straight season in 2024. Through only four games played this year, he has a 13-203-1 line. With McLaurin out another week and Luke McCaffrey (collarbone) also sidelined, Deebo Samuel Sr., rookie Jaylin Lane, and former first-rounder Treylon Burks will be the Commanders' top three wideouts.

Tetairoa McMillan was the top wide receiver again for the Panthers in the 17-7 loss against New Orleans, but his numbers were only adequate. The rookie wide receiver totaled 60 yards on five receptions and registered 11 PPR fantasy points. This was the third time in five games in which McMillan posted double-digit PPR points. In Week 11, the Panthers are up against the Atlanta Falcons, who ranked eighth in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to WRs entering Week 10. Atlanta also ranked 31st in FFPG allowed to RBs over the four weeks leading up to Week 10 and allowed 244 rushing yards to Jonathan Taylor on Sunday. With Atlanta being vulnerable to the run more than the passing game, expect the Panthers to rely on their ground game. Despite a run-first approach, fantasy players should continue to start McMillan, as he can provide a decent statistical floor in any week.
