News: 17 hours agoMcMillan (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game at Cincinnati, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Spin: McMillan reportedly looked good at practice earlier this week, but the Bucs have been listing him as a limited participant and apparently don't expect a contribution this Sunday. Continued practice participation does hint at a chance to be back for Week 2 against Cleveland. With McMillan likely inactive this week, Chris Godwin and Emeka Egbuka (toe) should get plenty of snaps, with Tez Johnson and Ted Hurst also candidates for routes/targets.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: McMillan is a fascinating late-round sleeper after he impressed as a rookie before missing all but four games due to injury last season. The 2024 third-round pick was featured during the final five games of his rookie season and exploded for a league-high seven TD catches (at least one in all five outings) and 19.8 fantasy PPG (more than 16.7 points in all five) in that span. He was limited in his return to action late in 2025, but did flash with a 7-114-0 performance on nine targets in Week 17. The 24-year-old has a path to a near-every-down role in 2026 with only Emeka Egbuka and 30-year-old Chris Godwin ahead of him on the depth chart. McMillan is worth the inexpensive flier on draft day.
