Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Carolina Panthers
Betting against a highly drafted, rookie wide receiver in the second half of the season feels wrong. But having backed Bryce Young on multiple occasions this season, I’m all too aware of the volatile nature of the Panthers’ passing attack this season.
I rate Young and McMillan, but there is a boom/bust element to their fantasy production, something that I fully expect to be ironed out in time. Unfortunately, with just three weeks to secure a place in the fantasy playoffs, time is not something fantasy managers have in abundance.
McMillan has registered three top-13 fantasy finishes this season, but just as many fantasy finishes of WR45 or worse. On the back of a spike week, it might be a good idea to move for a more reliable fantasy asset. It takes several good weeks to win the playoffs, but it only takes one bad one to fall short.
Michael Wilson, WR, Arizona Cardinals
Michael Wilson falls firmly into the same bucket as Tucker: backup players who have excelled in a situation that almost certainly won’t last. With Marvin Harrison Jr. sidelined, Wilson was targeted a ridiculous 18 times against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 11.
He caught 15 of those targets for 185 yards, as the Cardinals chased an unlikely comeback. They fell short in that pursuit, but that doesn’t make Wilson’s output any less impressive. There is currently no indication as to whether Harrison will return in Week 12, or even beyond, offering a slight hope of continued production for Wilson.
If you’re unsure of a playoff spot, Wilson’s short-term upside is worth more than you’re likely to get in a trade. However, if you are already in a good place, moving Wilson to a more desperate team for a player who could help you in the playoffs might be a wise move.
