Quick answer
BuyMcMillan caught 70 passes for 1,014 yards in 2025, finishing WR15. He scored 5% more than his touches said he should. He's 23 — best seasons can still be ahead if the role holds. Looking at 2026, he's a situational piece unless the role grows. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the WR role keeps opening up.
