22-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
2024 Fantasy Outlook
McMillan caught 79 passes for 1,089 yards and nine touchdowns for Washington in 2022, but a knee injury held him back last season and allowed Ja'Lynn Polk to emerge as the Huskies' new No. 2 receiver. McMillan recovered some of his draft stock with a solid showing at the 2024 Combine -- 4.47 40, 37-inch vertical, 127-inch broad jump, 6.94-second cone drills -- and ended up going to the Bucs late in Round 3 with the 92nd overall pick. Meanwhile, new Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen has said he envisions Chris Godwin in the slot rather than mostly playing outside the way he did last year. McMillan thus figures to compete with incumbent No. 3 receiver Trey Palmer for a role that will largely entail perimeter snaps in three-wide sets. While it probably won't be a high-volume role if everyone is healthy, McMillan could be tasked with much more if Godwin or Mike Evans misses time. Read Past Outlooks

McMillan (hamstring) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
McMillan was listed as active for Tampa Bay's final game before a Week 11 bye, but he was only available in the event of an injury to another player and didn't end up playing any snaps. He should be ready for his normal role two weeks later, facing the Giants on Sunday with fellow wideout Mike Evans (hamstring) expected back in the lineup. McMillan didn't do much even when both Evans and Chris Godwin (IR - ankle) were absent, but the rookie still figures to have a role down the stretch, likely operating as the Bucs' second or third WR.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Capitalizes on minicamp opportunity
WRTampa Bay Buccaneers
June 14, 2024
McMillan, a rookie third-round pick out of Washington, saw plenty of work with quarterback Baker Mayfield during the Buccaneers' mandatory minicamp, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Mike Evans was not participating Wednesday, and Trey Palmer also sat out for a second straight day for undisclosed reasons, so McMillan was in Mayfield's sights plenty. Laine notes the rookie caught a red-zone touchdown Tuesday before hauling in all three targets from Mayfield on Wednesday. "He's really friendly at the top of his routes, attacks the ball, catches with his hands. Just explosive, a smooth route runner," Mayfield said.
