Jalen McMillan Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Tue, Aug 19th 2025, 1:16pm EDT

Jalen McMillan caught fire late in his rookie year, posting five straight games with 51+ receiving yards, racking up 24 catches for 316 yards and 7 touchdowns over that stretch. He earned a 19% target share during that span and looked like a rising star in Tampa Bay's offense heading into 2025. However, the road ahead is far less clear.
With Mike Evans and Chris Godwin both returning - and first-round pick from Ohio State Emeka Egbuka now added to the mix - McMillan faces even steeper competition for targets than he did a season ago. He will also miss over half the season after suffering a severely sprained neck injury. Not draftable in the majority of formats based on the injury news.
