Okay, so, here we go again – week 8 of the NFL season, and I’m diving into the whole McMillan or Shepard debate. I woke up early this morning, like, way before my alarm, just thinking about it. Should I start Jalen McMillan or Sterling Shepard? The big game is coming up, and I gotta make the right call.
First thing I did? Grabbed my phone and started checking out what all the fantasy football “experts” were saying. I read through a bunch of articles, looked at some stats, and honestly, it just made my head spin more. Some folks were all about McMillan, saying he’s the next big thing, while others were like, “Nah, Shepard’s the safer bet.” Too much info, you know?

After getting lost in all that noise, I decided to trust my own gut. I remembered how McMillan played last week – dude was on fire! He was making some crazy catches and just looked unstoppable. But then, Shepard, he’s been consistent all season. He’s not flashy, but he gets the job done.
- McMillan: High risk, high reward. He could totally blow up and get me a ton of points, or he could just disappear.
- Shepard: Steady and reliable. He’s probably not gonna win me the week on his own, but he’s not gonna lose it for me either.
My thought process went like this:
I paced around my living room, weighing the pros and cons. Drank like three cups of coffee, which probably didn’t help me make a rational decision. Finally, after like an hour of this, I decided to go with McMillan. Yeah, it’s risky, but I figured, go big or go home, right?
So, I locked in my lineup, and now, it’s just a waiting game. I’ll be glued to the TV on game day, hoping I made the right call. It’s all part of the fun, I guess. This fantasy football stuff is a rollercoaster of emotions, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Let’s see how it plays out – fingers crossed!
