Jalen McMillan started slowly in his rookie season but came on down the stretch. In Weeks 14-18, he was the WR11 in fantasy points per game, spiking seven touchdowns. During those five games, he had an 18.4% target share, 63.2 receiving yards per game, 2.09 yards per route run, a 22.9% first-read share, and 0.099 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Outside of the insane touchdown production, McMillan's efficiency stats were all nice. Unfortunately for him, the Bucs felt the need to further upgrade their wide receiver room despite his stretch performance and Chris Godwin's return. Tampa Bay's drafting of Emeka Egbuka pushes McMillan into the WR4 role unless Godwin or Mike Evans miss time. He's not a bad contingency plan or "handcuff wide receiver," but outside of that, his production will be too spotty this season to count on in fantasy. I'll only take shots on him in best ball settings.

Jalen McMillan two-touchdown game fuels Buccaneers win

Jalen McMillan played a pivotal role in Sunday's Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 48-14 victory over the Carolina Panthers. The rookie wide receiver caught two touchdown passes from quarterback Baker Mayfield, covering 10 and 16 yards, respectively. This performance highlights McMillan's growing importance in the Buccaneers' offense as a reliable target alongside veteran Mike Evans.

Fantasy Impact

McMillan's emergence as a red-zone threat enhances his fantasy appeal, particularly in deeper leagues or as a flex option. While his target share may fluctuate, his ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities makes him a player to watch in the Buccaneers' high-powered offense. Managers should consider adding McMillan to their rosters, especially as Tampa Bay continues its playoff push.
