McMillan drops 12 ADP spots due to a minor knee injury that caused him to miss a few days of practice, though he has already returned for individual drills. The bigger issue is competition for routes; third-round rookie Ted Hurst has been making plays throughout camp and his role runs through McMillan as the team's second option at X receiver. Over the course of the season, McMillan's role could decline as Hurst becomes more involved.NegativeRoleJul 24, 2026
McMillan, competing for the open WR3 role, suffered a preseason neck injury in 2025 that sidelined him until Week 15. Over the final four weeks, he ranked sixth in team targets (15) while leading the group with 2.14 YPRR. Dating back to his Week 11, 2024 bye, McMillan has averaged 1.75 YPRR and 16.8 percent target rate, creating an uneven receiving profile. At 6-foot-1, 192 pounds, he possesses inside-outside versatility but does not fill the X-receiver void left by Mike Evans.
