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.

RANKS
Signed a four-year, $27.93 million contract with the Panthers in May of 2025.
Doesn't look 100 percent in loss
McMillan (illness) caught one of four targets for five yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
The standout rookie landed on the injury report Sunday morning due to an illness, and McMillan didn't look like himself as he set a season low in receiving yards. The eighth overall pick in the 2025 Draft still sits 71 yards short of reaching 1,000 for the year, and McMillan could be very busy in Week 18 against the Buccaneers with the NFC South, and a playoff spot, on the line with a Carolina win. Note that the Panthers can also win the division if the Falcons win their next two games, no matter what Carolina does in the finale.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
More downfield looks in Week 11?
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.
