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.

Monster performance in Week 11
WRCarolina Panthers
November 16, 2025
McMillan caught eight of 12 targets for 130 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
The 2025 first-round pick from Arizona had the best game of his young career in Sunday's win, setting new career highs in yards, touchdowns and receptions. He benefitted from quarterback Bryce Young's best performance as a pro, with Young finding him for scores in both the first and fourth quarter. Through his first 10 NFL games, McMillan has looked like a budding star, catching 54 of 89 targets for 748 yards and four touchdowns. He draws a great Week 12 matchup against a struggling 49ers defense and could be in line for another huge outing.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
More downfield looks in Week 11?
WRCarolina Panthers
November 15, 2025
David Newton of ESPN.com relays that the Falcons defense will likely load the box to limit running back Rico Dowdle, which gives McMillan and the Panthers' offense more opportunities to move the ball downfield through the passing game.
ANALYSIS
The Saints may have come up with a blueprint to slow the Panthers' offense down in Week 10 by focusing their efforts to slow down Dowdle, who averaged just 2.9 yards per carry while scoring a rushing touchdown. Bryce Young struggled to get the passing attack going against New Orleans, but he and McMillan may be forced into more work with each other if Atlanta opts to focus its efforts on limiting Dowdle. McMillan has hauled in 46 passes on 77 targets for 618 yards and two touchdowns through the first 10 regular-season games of his NFL career.
