A.J. Brown vs Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan holds a 26.4% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 10/2/2026
THE CASE FOR BROWN
A.J. Brown is the proven alpha with multiple elite WR1 seasons and a weekly ceiling that wins matchups when you’re pushing chips in. Even at 29, his game is built on physical dominance and yards-after-catch, which tends to translate even if the situation isn’t perfect. If NE feeds him like a true No. 1, he can outscore the market gap immediately and materially for the next 1–2 years.
THE CASE FOR MCMILLAN
Tetairoa McMillan is 23 and carries the archetype dynasty managers pay for: big, boundary-capable, target-earning WR1 profile with a long runway. The 22.3% market gap reflects both age insulation and the chance he becomes a multi-year cornerstone if he hits early in CAR. If he develops into a true volume alpha, he can hold or gain value while still providing strong weekly production.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Contending: take A.J. Brown if you need bankable top-end points right now and can live with the shorter window.
Rebuilding: take Tetairoa McMillan for age insulation and the higher likelihood of appreciating/holding value over the next 2–4 seasons.
Close call: if your roster can wait and you’re playing value, McMillan; if you’re one WR away from a title, Brown.

Trade?

Superflex?
In SF, the QB premium makes it harder to pay up for either WR, but the Brown-vs-McMillan decision stays mostly the same since both are non-QBs—contenders lean Brown, rebuilders lean McMillan.
