2024 Fantasy Outlook
McMillan caught 79 passes for 1,089 yards and nine touchdowns for Washington in 2022, but a knee injury held him back last season and allowed Ja'Lynn Polk to emerge as the Huskies' new No. 2 receiver. McMillan recovered some of his draft stock with a solid showing at the 2024 Combine -- 4.47 40, 37-inch vertical, 127-inch broad jump, 6.94-second cone drills -- and ended up going to the Bucs late in Round 3 with the 92nd overall pick. Meanwhile, new Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen has said he envisions Chris Godwin in the slot rather than mostly playing outside the way he did last year. McMillan thus figures to compete with incumbent No. 3 receiver Trey Palmer for a role that will largely entail perimeter snaps in three-wide sets. While it probably won't be a high-volume role if everyone is healthy, McMillan could be tasked with much more if Godwin or Mike Evans misses time. Read Past Outlooks
Tampa adds third-round wideout
The Buccaneers selected McMillan in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 92nd overall.
ANALYSIS
McMillan might not have as much hype as former Washington teammate Rome Odunze or even Ja'Lynn Polk, but McMillan was about as productive as Odunze and was more productive than Polk prior to McMillan missing roughly two months with a knee injury in 2023. In other words, if McMillan never got hurt, then Polk might not have been drafted ahead of the former. McMillan (6-foot-1, 197 pounds) demonstrated his skill set by producing alongside the likes of Odunze and Polk in college, and his solid combine performance proved the NFL viability of his athleticism (4.47-second 40, 37-inch vertical). Trey Palmer should not be in the WR3 role much longer for Tampa.

Could be Bucs' WR3
Jenna Laine of ESPN.com believes that McMillan has a good chance at starting as the third wide receiver behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
ANALYSIS
The Buccaneers took McMillan late in the third round in the 2024 NFL Draft, 92nd overall. He played alongside ninth overall pick Rome Odunze and second-round pick Ja'Lynn Polk in Washington. McMillan should be able to reprise a similar role in Tampa Bay, especially with Godwin set to move back into the slot position while Evans assumes the WR1 role. McMillan's best season with the Huskies was in 2022, when he caught 79 passes for 1,098 yards and nine touchdowns.
