McMillan was taken No. 8 overall in April’s draft, and history tells us that receivers picked this high generally produce right away. Among first-round wideouts selected inside the top 16 who played at least 14 games, the average rookie season is 67-952-5.7—solid WR4 numbers. Narrow that to those who started at least 12 games, and the average jumps to 72-1022-6.5, which is fantasy WR3 territory. McMillan’s advanced metrics back up the hype—he posted the 10th-highest receiving grade at PFF and ranked 13th in yards per route run in this year’s class. Matt Harmon compared his profile to that of Michael Pittman or Courtland Sutton, noting that while he’s not quite Drake London, McMillan still offers versatility and size as a perimeter option who can move around. The wild card here is Bryce Young. He needs a lifeline, and the Panthers are hoping McMillan can be that guy. If he starts most games, he should push for low-end WR3 numbers with upside for more if Young takes a step forward.
