Who Should I Start? Zay Flowers or Tetairoa McMillan

Saturday, December 6, 11:24 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers registered the worst game of his career in Week 13 and it was the first time he failed to reach 10 receiving yards since Week 15 in 2023 where he had one catch for seven yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Finishing as the WR106 looks even worse against a defense as bad as the Cincinnati Bengals though. Now, he'll take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14 who are ranked 30th against opposing receivers. They've allowed 37.39 fantasy points per contest and have let receivers accrue a total of 2,061 yards and 14 touchdowns. Flowers and the Ravens' offense have hit some very low lows this year, but his talent and the struggling Steelers secondary has given him WR2 value.

Tetairoa McMillan wasn't very busy in Week 13, but still made a notable impact in the Panthers' stunning 31-28 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. The rookie WR was targeted just twice, his lowest target count of the season. However, McMillan caught a 43-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter that proved to be the game-clinching score. McMillan has now caught TD passes in three consecutive games, and he finished Week 13 with 11.3 PPR points. In Week 15, after a bye, Carolina will face the New Orleans Saints in a Week 10 rematch. In the first meeting against the Saints, McMillan finished with 60 yards on five receptions. New Orleans ranked 20th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to WRs in the four weeks leading up to Week 13. Although he did not see much volume in Week 13, McMillan has a favorable matchup in Week 15, where he is likely to see more targets. Due to his solid fantasy floor this season, McMillan is worth considering as a WR3 or flex start.
