Jalen McMillanWR

Deep sleeper WR from Tampa Bay who won fantasy championships in his rookie season finish, averaging 19.8 PPR per game over the last five games with seven touchdown catches. Suffered nasty preseason head/neck injury but returned to play at end of last season, demonstrating toughness and commitment to recovery that the source views favorably. With Mike Evans departing to San Francisco, McMillan has opportunity to step into significantly larger role. Chris Godwin aging and didn't look right late last season; Amedeo Ibuka's role uncertain. McMillan's willingness to rehab hard and return quickly suggests he could capitalize on expanded opportunity in 2026.

Uh seven touchdown catches... he did end up uh getting healthy and and playing at the end of last season... they let Mike Evans walk to San Francisco... I think there's an opportunity for him to step into a pretty big role.
