2025 Fantasy Outlook
McMillan's college career was about as good as it gets, starting with a 702-yard, eight-TD showing in 2022 as a true freshman at Arizona. He then put up 90-1,402-10 in 2023 and 84-1,319-8 in 2024, maintaining his massive production last season even as the rest of the Wildcats offense fell off a cliff (no other player had more than 323 receiving yards or three receiving TDs). McMillan is one of the NFL's largest wide receivers, having measured in at 6-foot-4, 219 pounds, at the 2025 Combine. He didn't work out at the combine, instead waiting until his pro day, where reports put his 40-yard dash between 4.48 and 4.55 seconds. That's below average for a WR in general, but above average for a receiver his size, and it didn't dissuade the Panthers from drafting McMillan eighth overall. It's an ideal landing spot to earn immediate playing time, especially after the Panthers traded Adam Thielen to Minnesota in AUgust.. The biggest question, apart from McMillan needing to prove himself at the next level, is whether Bryce Young's improvement from the latter portion of last season will continue into 2025 and give Carolina decent QB play for the first time in years.

Paces pass catchers in loss
McMillan secured four of eight targets for 62 yards in the Panthers' 42-13 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
McMillan had been listed as questionable coming into the afternoon due to a calf issue, but the rookie first-round pick kept up his strong play while recording a team-high receiving yardage total. He also tied with Tommy Tremble for the team lead in targets, and given the disastrous team outcome for Carolina, the talented wideout's numbers were respectable. The Arizona product has risen above the Panthers' offensive struggles overall to eclipse the 60-yard mark in three of his first four NFL games, and he'll look to capitalize on a favorable matchup against the shaky Dolphins defense in a Week 5 home matchup next Sunday afternoon.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Instant impact in first game
McMillan recorded double-digit yardage on his first two NFL catches in Friday night's preseason game against the Browns, Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie eighth overall pick recorded 30- and 13-yard grabs from Bryce Young, showcasing speed and reliable hands in those instances. However, McMillan couldn't secure what would have been a touchdown pass after that pair of grabs, but the fact he was targeted a total of five times by Young and Andy Dalton underscores how significant a role he's likely to play right out of the gate in his rookie campaign.
