    Is Jalen McMillan Playing in Week 17?

    McMillan is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

    We’ll continue to monitor the Buccaneers’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.

    Should You Start or Sit Jalen McMillan in Week 17?

    This is a safe space, right?

    Is Jalen McMillan poised to be what we wanted Tank Dell to be?

    That is, an explosive player that shows signs of promise as a rookie and parlays it into a weekly starter role in fantasy circles during Year 2?

    McMillan has three straight games with at least four catches and a touchdown reception — over the past 20 years, only three rookies have topped that streak (Odell Beckham Jr., Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Tank Dell). There was an 11.6-point swing that took place late in the game last week where a potential 46-yard TD was wrestled away from him, but the 5-57-1 stat line was still plenty productive, and it’s clear that he has Baker Mayfield’s trust.

    The Bucs need a big performance, and if the shallow Panthers elect to blanket Mike Evans, a career day from McMillan is certainly within the range of outcomes.
