The Patriots waived McMillan on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The move makes room on the 53-man roster for Yannick Ngakoue, who the Patriots claimed off waivers Friday. McMillan has seen his snap count on defense dwindle over the course of the regular season, and through nine games he accumulated 45 tackles (25 solo) and one pass defended. Although a vested veteran, McMillan will land on the waiver wire since he was let go after the Nov. 5 trade deadline. He should draw plenty of interest from teams looking to bolster their linebacker corps.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2019
2018
2017
The Dolphins tailored McMillan's defensive role in 2019 to minimize situations wherein his weakness in coverage would be exposed, resulting in the 24-year-old's quality of play increasing but his snap count sharply declining. It currently looks as though coach Brian Flores is unlikely to ever utilize McMillan as a three-down player unless he can improve his skills in coverage, which would minimize McMillan's individual statistics and fantasy value. If the former Ohio State star were able to develop and turn into an asset against the pass, however, his strong tackling abilities could lend him upside to rank among the league's tackle leaders.
