Carnell Tate vs Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan holds a 34.7% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/27/2026
THE CASE FOR TATE
Carnell Tate is 1.8 years younger, which matters in dynasty because it buys you more development runway and a longer window to hit/hold value. His market is lower by 7.3%, so you’re paying less for a similar archetype outcome and can often add a small piece on top in trades. If you’re building and can tolerate uncertainty, Tate is the cheaper bet to appreciate if he earns a meaningful role.
THE CASE FOR MCMILLAN
Tetairoa McMillan carries the higher current market (SF 4,908) because he’s viewed as the more bankable near-term producer and value anchor. At 23.3, he’s closer to the “points now” phase, which is exactly what contenders should prioritize. Paying a 7.3% premium is reasonable if it buys you clearer weekly usability and less waiting.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
McMillan—take the higher-probability near-term points and accept the 7.3% premium.
Tate—buy the younger WR at a discount and aim for value growth as his role expands.
If prices are tight, keep McMillan unless you can get Tate plus a meaningful sweetener (e.g., a 2nd/bench upside piece).
