Should You Start or Sit Tetairoa McMillan in Week 5?
Tetairoa McMillan certainly looks the part of a future star in this league, but he’s developing a bit of a Bryce Young problem and that’s something that can suck the fantasy upside out of even a high-upside player like this.
He’s flirting with a 50% catch rate this season and, for reasons unknown, ranks third in end zone targets for a team that rarely gets within shouting distance of the paint.
Despite the consistent volume and playmaking (8+ targets and a 20+ yard catch in all four games), the limitations of this offense have held McMillan under 70 receiving yards three times.
The involvement and matchup dictate that he is a WR2 for me this week, and while I question the upside, he should have a reasonable floor in a matchup against a below-average defense that is operating on short rest.
