CeeDee Lamb vs Tetairoa McMillan: Who Should You Start?

CeeDee Lamb (11.7 PPG) and Tetairoa McMillan (10.4 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025. When two wide receivers are this close on a per-game basis, the weekly matchup matters more than the season-long resume. CeeDee Lamb played 14 games for the Dallas Cowboys; Tetairoa McMillan suited up 17 times for the Carolina Panthers.

A 1.3-point per-game gap over a full season is essentially noise. It means one extra catch, one fewer target, or a single broken play away from flipping the script. For a weekly start/sit call between these two, matchup analysis matters far more than the season line.

Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. CeeDee Lamb turned 117 targets into 1077 yards and 3 touchdowns, while Tetairoa McMillan converted 122 looks into 1014 yards and 7 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: CeeDee Lamb sits Week 7 while Tetairoa McMillan is off Week 11. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

The Bottom Line

11.7 PPG for CeeDee Lamb versus 10.4 for Tetairoa McMillan in 2025. The baseline favors CeeDee Lamb, though the right weekly matchup can flip the script. For a full breakdown that weighs matchup quality, form, and injury reports, try DraftCall's AI comparison engine.
