Ja'Marr Chase vs Tetairoa McMillan
Ja'Marr Chase holds a 52.3% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/17/2026
THE CASE FOR CHASE
Ja'Marr Chase is a locked-in elite WR1 with proven overall WR1/WR2-level ceilings and one of the highest weekly floors in dynasty. He’s tethered to Joe Burrow in a stable, high-volume passing offense that consistently creates spike-week TD and yardage opportunities. The 50.3% value gap is justified because you’re buying bankable production and insulation against prospect risk.
THE CASE FOR MCMILLAN
Tetairoa McMillan gives you a 3-year age advantage and a cheaper path to a potential long-term alpha profile if he hits. At ~half the cost, he’s the archetypal rebuilding swing: if he becomes a true target-dominant WR1, his value can jump into the top tier quickly. If Carolina’s offense grows and the QB situation stabilizes, his week-to-week usability and market value can rise fast.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Chase—paying the premium is worth it for reliable elite points and lineup certainty in a title window.
McMillan—take the discount plus flexibility, unless you’re sure you can win immediately with Chase.
If you’re within 1-2 pieces of contending, consolidate into Chase; otherwise keep McMillan and use the difference to add another starter or future 1st.

Worth more?
Ja'Marr Chase by a wide margin, and the current 50% gap is broadly consistent with proven elite vs unproven upside.
Trade?
Chase side should require McMillan plus a meaningful add (typically a 1st+ or equivalent) to be fair depending on league depth and scoring.
Superflex?
Superflex doesn’t materially change the WR-vs-WR comparison here—Chase remains the premium cornerstone while McMillan is the cheaper upside bet.
