Jalen McMillan

Jalen McMillan caught 4-of-7 targets for 35 yards in the Bucs’ Week 8 loss against the Falcons, adding one rush for 17 yards.

The rookie, thrust into a larger role with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin sidelined, was something of a disaster in Week 8. He was not on the same page with Baker Mayfield and subsequently missed on what would have been a walk-in 70 yard touchdown in the first half. Mayfield also threw one of his two interceptions when targeting McMillan, who ran a route on 62 percent of Mayfield’s drop backs. Perhaps another week of practice with the Bucs’ firs team offense will make the rookie more comfortable ahead of Tampa’s Week 9 game against the Chiefs. McMillan should be considered a top-48 option for now.
