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

Two catches in season-ending loss
WRTampa Bay Buccaneers
January 12, 2025
McMillan brought in two of four targets for 41 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 wild-card loss to the Commanders on Sunday night.
ANALYSIS
McMillan finished a distant second to Mike Evans in receiving yards and was also the runner-up to his teammate in targets on a night when Baker Mayfield threw the ball only 18 times. The rookie wideout's serviceable first career postseason contest also included a team-high 26-yard reception on the first play of a fourth-quarter drive that culminated in a game-tying field goal by Chase McLaughlin. McMillan will head into his first NFL offseason with plenty of momentum after having posted a 37-461-8 line on 58 targets and adding 43 rushing yards on four attempts across 13 regular-season games.

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.
