Should You Start or Sit Tetairoa McMillan in Week 2?
Not a ton of priors were confirmed on a sluggish Week 1 across the NFL, but Tetairoa McMillan being “the guy” in Carolina from the jump certainly was.
Playing mainly on the boundary, he commanded a 25.7% target share, caught five balls, and more than doubled the receiving yardage of any of his teammates. The rate numbers look impressive, and they figure to be all season long, but you can only do so much if the environment is suboptimal.
Bryce Young is still a work in progress. We can cite all the final month of 2022 stats that we want, but until he’s pumping out quality starts consistently, the production of the pieces around him is going to be spotty, even for a player commanding an impressive target share.
You drafted McMillan with the hope that you’d be able to feel good about playing him weekly, and, in a flex sort of way, I think we are there. That’s not to say his profile is bulletproof, and he’s my WR3 among rookies, but the usage/talent combination is enough for me to rank him above high-floor types like Jakobi Meyers.
