Is Jalen McMillan A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 8? Waiver Wire Outlook

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Jalen McMillan was a name that most likely went undrafted in fantasy leagues to begin the 2024 season.

McMillan was an excellent wideout at Washington University where he totaled for 2,143 yards and 17 touchdowns through four years at the school.

With both Buccaneer star wide receivers going down with injuries in Week 7, McMillan becomes a popular name on the waivers for fantasy managers. Should you add McMillan to your fantasy team?

What Did Jalen McMillan Do In Week 7?

In Week 7, McMillan saw the volume, but his results remained limited. The rookie saw 60 percent of snaps against the Ravens while catching three of his eight targets for 15 yards.

From Week 1 through Week 3, McMillan saw nearly 80 percent of snaps in all three games while also connecting on his first NFL touchdown in Week 1 against the Washington Commanders.

The intriguing side for McMillan happens to be because both of Tampa Bay's star wide receivers suffered leg injuries that will keep both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin sidelined for weeks. Godwin could potentially be out for the entire season.
