Playoff sleeper with league-winning upside if he breaks through.

Jalen McMillanWR

Jaylen McMillan is a speculative deep-league sleeper who could emerge unexpectedly down the stretch. Historical precedent: last year he averaged 20 PPR points per game over Weeks 14–17 (21.9, 18.5, 16.7, 23 points), making him a league-winning asset in the fantasy playoffs. Chris Rodriguez notes these are the type of rookie receivers that "come out of nowhere and then all of a sudden you're starting them in week 16 and they go crazy." Currently buried on the depth chart coming back from a neck injury, but the upside is there if opportunity strikes.
