2026 Fantasy Outlook
McMillan joined the Bucs in 2024 as a third-round pick, starting slow before eventually scoring six TDs in Weeks 14-18. The stage appeared set for bigger things in 2025, until the Bucs re-signed Mike Evans and Chris Godwin and drafted Emeka Egbuka. The first two ended up missing a lot of time, but not as much as McMillan, who suffered a neck injury in August and was out until Week 15. He then played around half of Tampa Bay's snaps in the final four games, putting up 2-38-0, 2-15-0, 7-114-0 and 1-11-0 (178 yards on 15 targets). Most of McMillan's teammates had poor efficiency numbers during that stretch, with Tampa Bay's offense curiously falling apart when it seemed to be getting healthier. In any case, Evans is gone now, potentially leaving McMillan and third-round pick Ted Hurst to compete for one top-three spot under new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson. There's no doubt Hurst is bigger and faster, but McMillan already has chemistry with QB Baker Mayfield. Read Past Outlooks

Officially limited Wednesday
McMillan (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Despite McMillan looking like his normal self in the portion of Wednesday's session open to the media, per Greg Auman of Fox Sports, the third-year wide receiver experienced restrictions on his workload. McMillan thus remains in recovery mode from the knee injury he suffered during an Aug. 4 practice, but he'll still have two more chances to get back to full participation before the weekend and Sunday's road matchup with the Bengals.

Taken 92nd overall in last year's draft, McMillan was the subject of considerable camp hype and won Tampa Bay's No. 3 WR job before Week 1, but it wasn't until December that he broke through as an important part of the offense. Heading into Week 14, he'd played eight games and missed four with injuries, catching 13 of 27 targets while failing to take advantage of injuries to Chris Godwin and then Mike Evans. The rookie then scored seven TDs over the final five games of the regular season, with at least four catches, five targets and 57 total yards in each contest, before quieting down some in a playoff loss to Washington (2-41-0). The Buccaneers decided to re-sign Godwin anyway, and then took Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka in the first round, all after losing offensive coordinator Liam Coen to Jacksonville -- a trio of developments that harm McMillan's breakout case for 2025. As if that weren't bad enough, McMillan suffered a severe neck sprain during the preseason and is now expected to miss a large chunk of the regular season. He could have some value late in the season if the Buccaneers are missing Evans, Godwin and/or Egubka once McMillan returns.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Bucs' breakout star in '26?
McMillan could fully blossom this coming season if he can remain healthy, Ben Solak of ESPN.com suggests.
ANALYSIS
The third-year wideout has been besieged by injuries over his first two seasons, seeing action in only 17 of a possible 34 regular-season games during that span. However, he's posted some solid production when on the field, generating a combined 49-639-8 line on 73 targets. Solak posits a fully healthy season for McMillan would lead to stellar numbers, especially since he's likely to inherit plenty of the outside receiver snaps the departed Mike Evans leaves behind.
