Jalen McMillan's small sample of four games in 2025 with a depressed target share of 2.8% and snap share of 51.5% highlights his limited role, despite potential upside from Mike Evans' departure.

Role & trajectory
McMillan enters the season as Tampa Bay's nominal WR3 with a target share that is rising but still modest at 2.8%, indicating he faces significant competition for targets behind Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin, with rookie Ted Hurst also in the mix.
Projected outlook
With Mike Evans leaving Tampa Bay, McMillan has a clear runway to absorb perimeter targets if Godwin's role declines due to age or injury, but his WR62 value rank suggests he is not yet a guaranteed starter despite the opportunity.
Risk & schedule
McMillan's serious neck injury in 2025 raises long-term durability concerns, and with rookie Ted Hurst added to an already competitive WR room, McMillan faces significant competition for a stable target share.

Risk & Opportunity Analysis (3 flags)

Risk Flags

2
  • Injury Concerns

    McMillan suffered three fractured vertebrae and two herniated discs in the 2025 preseason, limiting him to four games; he is reported fully healed and practicing in OTAs as of June 2026, but a serious neck injury raises long-term durability questions for a player with limited career snaps.

  • Target Volume

    Ascending WR1 Emeka Egbuka and veteran Chris Godwin sit ahead of him, and Tampa spent a 2026 third-round pick on WR Ted Hurst plus added rookie Eric Rivers, compressing the path to a stable WR2 target share.

Opportunity Flags

1
  • Usage & Volume

    Mike Evans signed with the 49ers, vacating a high-volume outside role; with Godwin aging and injury-prone, McMillan (age 24, healthy) has a clear runway to absorb perimeter targets and ascend to WR2 in Baker Mayfield's offense.
