Jalen McMillan Fantasy Stats

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan exploded for seven catches and 114 yards in the team's 20-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 17. The 24-year-old's target (nine) and yardage totals were team-highs, setting personal bests across the board. Coincidentally, McMillan did not see a significant rise in snap share, hovering around the same figure he's recorded since returning from an injury. Regardless, he and Chris Godwin Jr. were the only other pass-catchers to eclipse 40 receiving yards (108). With a myriad of mouths to feed in Tampa Bay's attack, it's unlikely McMillan would have another performance such as this when they square off with the Panthers in Week 18. That said, he sports solid athleticism and offers fantasy managers big-play ability for one of the few meaningful games in the campaign's final week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan hasn't made much of an impact since making his season debut in Week 15. McMillan has hauled in four of his five targets for 53 yards and has yet to find the end zone. The 24-year-old has good long-term upside, but he doesn't appear to be a viable fantasy option right now. He figures to fight for playing time as the No. 3 wideout with rookie Emeka Egbuka. McMillan has a decent matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 17, but he can't be trusted as a third or fourth passing option. The second-year wideout is worth stashing in dynasty formats, but he should be on the waiver wire in 12-team fantasy formats.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan made his season debut in Week 15 against the Atlanta Falcons, catching both of his two targets for 38 yards. McMillan spent the entire season up until that point on Injured Reserve after suffering multiple fractures and ligament damage in his neck during a preseason game, but he made a full recovery and will be a factor in the Bucs' passing game over the final few games. The second-year wideout's upside in fantasy football is limited with all of Tampa Bay's wide receivers healthy at the same time for the first time this season. McMillan's 47.5% route share last week ranked fourth on the team behind Chris Godwin Jr., Mike Evans, and rookie Emeka Egbuka. While McMillan ended his rookie season on a high note with seven touchdowns over the final five games, his opportunities will likely be too inconsistent to rely on in standard-sized leagues to end this season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) will make his 2025 season debut in Week 15 on Thursday Night Football versus the division-rival Atlanta Falcons. McMillan was activated from Injured Reserve on Wednesday, but was listed as questionable to play this week. The 24-year-old second-year wideout suffered multiple fractures and ligament damage in his neck in a preseason game in August, but he's finally ready to contribute down the stretch for Tampa. With veteran Mike Evans (collarbone) also back for the first time since breaking his collarbone in Week 7, the Bucs' receiving corps is finally back to full strength for the first time this year. McMillan had a pretty big role in the offense to close out his rookie campaign with Chris Godwin Jr. on the shelf, and he finished with a 37-461-8 line in 13 games. However, in a crowded WR room this year and with limited snaps likely coming in his first game back, McMillan won't be a recommended fantasy play against Atlanta.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) is currently questionable to make his season debut versus the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15 on Thursday night. McMillan has been sidelined all season due to a neck injury he suffered in mid-August in the preseason. Both McMillan and Mike Evans (collarbone) were activated from Injured Reserve on Wednesday. It seems that both wideouts are trending in the right direction ahead of Thursday's matchup with Atlanta. There might be too many mouths to feed for McMillan to be a viable fantasy contributor, though. Rookie Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin Jr., and Evans will all likely be ahead of McMillan in the pecking order. There's some stash value here in deeper formats, but McMillan won't be a recommended starting option in 12-team leagues in Week 15 if he makes his 2025 debut on TNF.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) was limited in practice all week and is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 15 against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons on Thursday Night Football, according to the Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud. The Bucs' offense is getting healthy at the right time, with both McMillan and Mike Evans (collarbone) activated from Injured Reserve on Wednesday. However, they are both up in the air to be active on Thursday. The 24-year-old McMillan fractured bones in his neck and sustained ligament damage during the preseason, so he'll most likely be eased back into the offense if he's active this week. McMillan finished his rookie season strong in 2024, but he's returning to a very crowded WR room that includes Evans, Chris Godwin Jr., and rookies Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson. For now, McMillan is merely a stash option in deeper fantasy leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) practiced for the third straight day on Wednesday, according to Pewter Report. McMillan has been on Injured Reserve for the entirety of 2025 after suffering a neck injury in the preseason, but it appears he could be trending towards making his return in Week 15 against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. Upon his return, McMillan will be part of a crowded Tampa Bay wide receiver room that includes Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin, and Tez Johnson, and could be getting Mike Evans (collarbone) back in Week 15 as well. McMillan was productive as a rookie in 2024, hauling in 37 catches for 461 yards and eight touchdowns on 58 targets across 13 games. However, the target competition and long injury layoff could lead to a slow reintegration period for the 24-year-old once activated off Injured Reserve. McMillan is a player to monitor for deep-league managers, but should likely be avoided if activated for Week 15.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) has been on Injured Reserve for the entire year after suffering a serious neck injury during a preseason game in mid-August, but he seems to be getting close to a return. The second-year wideout was a limited participant every day in practice last week and has logged two limited practices on Monday and Tuesday of this week ahead of Thursday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons. His status in Wednesday's practice will likely determine if he can play on Thursday. The 24-year-old ended his rookie season on a heater, hauling in 24 of his 31 targets for 316 yards and seven touchdowns over the final five games. McMillan will be vying for targets in a crowded Tampa Bay WR room that could also be getting No. 1 receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) back in Week 15. McMillan will be an extremely volatile deep-league option if he is active on Thursday night.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) was able to log a limited practice session on Tuesday. McMillan has now logged back-to-back limited practice sessions to begin the week. The 24-year-old appears to be almost ready to make his season debut. McMillan has been sidelined all year due to a serious neck injury that he suffered in mid-August in a preseason game. Fantasy managers will need to check back for the final injury report on Wednesday. The Buccaneers could also be getting wideout Mike Evans (collarbone) back from IR for a Thursday night matchup against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons. If McMillan is active in Week 15, he won't be a recommended fantasy football option in his season debut, and he could struggle for consistent snaps to close out the regular season in a crowded WR corps that also includes Chris Godwin Jr. and rookies Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) was spotted at practice on Tuesday, according to Greg Auman of Fox Sports. McMillan was listed as a limited practice participant on Monday's injury report ahead of Tampa Bay's Week 15 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. The 24-year-old has yet to play in 2025 after suffering a neck injury in the preseason that led to him being placed on Injured Reserve. Across 13 games as a rookie in 2024, McMillan recorded 37 catches for 461 yards and eight touchdowns on 58 targets. Upon his return, McMillan will join a crowded wide receiver room in Tampa Bay that includes Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin, and could also be getting back veteran Mike Evans (collarbone) in Week 15. Given his long injury layoff and Tampa Bay's wealth of pass-catching options, McMillan may see limited playing time in 2025.
