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 a favorable landing spot to earn immediate playing time, with incumbent starters Adam Thielen, Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker having combined for 1,590 receiving yards last year. 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
Shows off chemistry with Young
McMillan caught two of five targets for a game-high 43 yards in Friday's 30-10 preseason loss to the Browns.
ANALYSIS
The eighth overall pick in the 2025 Draft got the start and played the entire first half, but all his production came in the first quarter with Bryce Young under center. The duo connected on a deep shot down the sideline for a 30-yard gain to launch Carolina's second drive of the game, as McMillan beat his man on a jump ball, and he added a 13-yard catch later in the possession for a first down. Young then looked his way in the end zone, but the rookie wideout dropped a sure TD to put a blemish on what was otherwise an impressive introduction to NFL game action. McMillan's two later incompletions came with Andy Dalton under center. Young could be poised for a Year 3 breakout, and McMillan already appears locked in as his top target, setting him up for potentially high volume in the Panthers' passing game.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Instant impact in first game
McMillan recorded double-digit yardage on his first two NFL catches in Friday night's preseason game against the Browns, Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie eighth overall pick recorded 30- and 13-yard grabs from Bryce Young, showcasing speed and reliable hands in those instances. However, McMillan couldn't secure what would have been a touchdown pass after that pair of grabs, but the fact he was targeted a total of five times by Young and Andy Dalton underscores how significant a role he's likely to play right out of the gate in his rookie campaign.
