This week, three wide receivers stand out as intriguing options for fantasy lineups: Jalen McMillan, DeMario Douglas, and Ray-Ray McCloud III. Each player has shown flashes of potential, but consistency remains a question.

Should I Start Jalen McMillan for Fantasy Football?

Jalen McMillan had a standout game in Week 14, catching four passes for 59 yards and two touchdowns against the Las Vegas Raiders. With Chris Godwin out for the season, the rookie is vying for the WR2 role alongside Mike Evans' WR1. However, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' passing game remains crowded, with Sterling Shepard and tight end Cade Otton competing for targets.

The Buccaneers face the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15. While the Chargers have permitted the seventh-most touchdowns to wide receivers this season, McMillan's sudden emergence is hard to trust.

The third-rounder is a risky option in the playoffs, and his Week 14 performance may not be sustainable. Fantasy managers should leave him on the bench unless they are desperate for a flex option.

He is WR59 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.

Should I Start DeMario Douglas for Fantasy Football?

A steady, if uninspiring, option for the New England Patriots has been wide receiver DeMario Douglas. He has not surpassed 65 receiving yards since Week 6 and caught just four passes for 20 yards in Week 13.

Despite being the top receiving option in New England, the 24-year-old has struggled to produce consistently and averages 8.36 PPR points per game.

The Patriots take on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 15, a defense that has surrendered only two touchdowns to wide receivers over the past three games. Douglas may provide flex value in deeper leagues but expect to get more of the same from him. He is best avoided unless you have no better alternatives.

He is WR50 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.

Should I Start Ray-Ray McCloud III for Fantasy Football?

Ray-Ray McCloud III has emerged as a dependable option for the Atlanta Falcons, with consecutive games of 95 or more receiving yards. In Week 14, the Clemson product caught eight passes for 98 yards on 11 targets and has seen increased usage in the offense.

This week, McCloud faces the Las Vegas Raiders, a team that has allowed a touchdown to a wide receiver in each of their last six games and ranks fifth in fantasy points permitted to the position over the past month.

With an advantageous matchup and recent production, McCloud is a good start for those needing wide receiver production. He is a strong WR3 or flex option for Week 15.

He is WR53 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.
