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.

Five catches in playoff loss
WRCarolina Panthers
January 10, 2026
McMillan recorded five receptions on seven targets for 81 yards in Saturday's 34-31 wild-card loss to the Rams.
ANALYSIS
McMillan was overshadowed by Jalen Coker, but he still turned in a solid showing of his own. He particularly played a key role on a touchdown drive in the second quarter, logging consecutive receptions of 14 and 22 yards. Overall, McMillan closed his rookie season having topped 70 receiving yards in three of his last five games (including playoffs), setting him up to take a potential step forward in his sophomore season.

McMillan set the Panthers rookie record with 1,014 receiving yards during the 2025 regular season, per Dane Brugler of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Brugler ranks McMillan as the top wide receiver on his 2025 NFL All-Rookie team and believes McMillan could develop into a top-10 wide receiver in the NFL following his promising rookie season, during which McMillan was the only rookie to reach 1,000 receiving yards. McMillan played up to his billing as the eighth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, emerging as the top wide receiver for a Panthers team that will host a playoff game in the wild-card round after winning the NFC South at 8-9.
