Jalen McMillan

Jalen McMillan's trajectory from his breakout season at Washington to his selection by the Buccaneers in the third round underscores his potential as a promising NFL receiver. Despite facing challenges like injuries and reduced opportunities in his final collegiate year, McMillan's strong route-running skills and experience in the slot position position him well for success at the professional level. He led the Washington Huskies in targets and catches in 2022 despite playing with future 1st and 2nd round picks.
With a clear path to the WR3 role in Tampa Bay's offense and the possibility of further advancement to WR2 in the coming seasons, McMillan's combination of talent and opportunity could make him a valuable asset.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have selected WR Jalen McMillan with the No. 92 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

McMillan will face an uphill battle for targets in an established wide receiver group in Tampa Bay. He will likely be fourth on the depth chart behind Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Trey Palmer. Fantasy managers should expect McMillan to need a potential injury to find a clear path towards playing time.
