Jalen McMillan
WR - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
This Week Outlook
Availability
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.
Jalen McMillan caught five of his seven targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in a 26-24 loss to the Cowboys in Week 16.
Fantasy Impact
McMillan found the end zone on an 11-yard pass from Baker Mayfield in the second quarter, extending his touchdown streak to three straight games. The rookie wideout has come on strong in December, catching 16 passes for 216 yards and four touchdowns in his past four games. He will be a low-end WR3 in Week 17 against Carolina.
Jalen McMillan hauled in 5-of-6 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie had a nice game on Sunday. He totaled 75 yards on the afternoon, and he was also able to get into the end zone once, bringing his touchdowns scored over the past two weeks up to three. He probably isn't worth starting at this point, but it's worth keeping tabs on his production to see if he's having a typical rookie late-season breakout.
Jalen McMillan hauled in four of his seven targets for 59 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 28-13 Week 14 win over the Raiders.
Fantasy Impact
McMillan has struggled to produce on a consistent basis in the Tampa Bay passing game, finishing with more than 50 receiving yards in just one of his last five games despite recording seven or more targets in three of those contests. The rookie pass-catcher will be difficult to trust for fantasy managers in a tough Week 15 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Jalen McMillan caught one of his two targets for 11 yards in a 30-7 win over the Giants in Week 12.
Fantasy Impact
McMillan was quiet in the blowout win as he was able to haul in just one ball. The rookie wideout dealt with a hamstring issue before his Week 11 bye but he appeared to have no issues with the injury against the Giants. He will be a low-end flex option in fantasy against the Panthers in Week 13.
