Dynasty Riser: Jalen McMillan
3 weeks ago

Jalen McMillan is one of the top risers in PlayerProfiler’s Dynasty Deluxe lifetime value rating for the beginning of 2025.

McMillan heated up at the end of the year, scoring 16 or more PPR fantasy points and at least one Touchdown in the final five games of the regular season. Some may point to Touchdown dependency and possible regression, though it’s important to note he also earned five or more targets in each of these games.

 

While McMillan was relatively quiet in the Buccaneers playoff loss to the Commanders, it was encouraging to see him log a season-high 92% snap share, signaling that the coaching staff wanted to lean on him when they needed to most. Mike Evans will remain a fixture in Tampa Bay, but there is room for McMillan to further ascend in a wide receiver room devoid of any other major talent outside of Chris Godwin, who faces an uphill battle to return to fantasy relevance after suffering the second major injury of his NFL career in week 7.

 

With Baker Mayfield set to return in 2025, the Buccaneers figure to again be one of the top passing offenses in the NFL. Fantasy Managers should target McMillan now for a relatively low cost before he continues to pickup buzz this offseason.
