BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ teams leagues
ROSTERED IN: 7 % of Leagues on Yahoo and 3% of Leagues on ESPN.
ANALYSIS:
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted Jalen McMillan with the 92nd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Washington product did not waste any time and scored a touchdown in his NFL debut against the Washington Commanders.
He is a player who may have gone under the radar in your drafts but could still be available on waivers. Given how explosive the Buccaneers' offense has looked in the first two games, adding McMillan and keeping him on the bench might be a beneficial move in the long term.
Mayfield to McMillan for the 32-yard TD!

In two games so far, McMillan has two catches for 53 yards and a touchdown on five targets. The Buccaneers rookie played 83% and 79% of his team's offensive snaps in Week 1 and Week 2, respectively. He will be much more involved in the offense as the season progresses, and since Baker Mayfield is playing MVP-esque football, expect all the Buccaneers receivers to put up good numbers.
If the opposition teams decide to double on Mike Evans, both McMillan and Chris Godwin can make them pay, as evident by the latter's performance against the Lions. McMillan played with Rome Odunze and Ja'Lynn Polk in college and is no stranger to having an impact despite having two other great receivers around him like he now has in Tampa Bay.
