Tetairoa McMillan Should See Reduced Volume Amid Teammate's Return

Saturday, October 17, 1:51 AM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan isn't likely to see the insane volume from last week again in Week 6. In Week 5, he caught 14 of his 16 targets for 192 yards and two touchdowns against the floundering Detroit Lions pass defense. He played that game without WR Jalen Coker, who actually out-targeted and outproduced him in Week 1. Coker suffered a quad injury in Week 3 after tying McMillan in targets and easily pacing him in catches, yards, and touchdowns in the first two weeks. McMillan hasn't been very consistent this season, evidenced by his mere 3.7 PPR fantasy points in Week 3. Still, he shouldn't be left out of starting lineups after his detonation in Week 4. His upside may not be that of a top-5 wideout when Coker is on the field, but he should sit in around WR2 range for the matchup with the Eagles in Week 6.

Germie Bernard Faces Tougher Test After Week 5 Breakout

Sunday, October 18, 7:15 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Germie Bernard has an opportunity to build on his Week 5 performance when Pittsburgh visits the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The rookie caught six of nine targets for 80 yards against Indianapolis, setting season highs across all three categories while playing 93% of the offensive snaps. With Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) on injured reserve and Roman Wilson (finger) and Ben Skowronek (calf) unavailable, Bernard should continue seeing substantial playing time alongside DK Metcalf, who has been cleared to play following an illness. Pat Freiermuth (calf) is also questionable, potentially creating additional opportunities in the passing game. However, Tampa Bay has allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers, and Bernard managed just seven receptions for 60 yards across his first four games. His expanded role gives him some appeal as a WR3/flex option in deeper PPR leagues, although the difficult matchup and limited track record make him a reasonable bench candidate for managers with more established alternatives.
