Saquon Barkley vs Tetairoa McMillan: Who Should You Start?

Comparing Saquon Barkley (RB, Philadelphia Eagles) against Tetairoa McMillan (WR, Carolina Panthers) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Saquon Barkley averaged 13.4 PPG in 2025 over 16 games, while Tetairoa McMillan posted 10.4 PPG across 17 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

Saquon Barkley has his bye in Week 5, Tetairoa McMillan in Week 11. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.
