Should you pick up Jalen McMillan?
With both Chris Godwin and Mike Evans out for the next couple of weeks, Jalen McMillan suddenly comes into that WR1 position for the Buccaneers. This will affect fantasy as McMillan and Cade Otton will both get increased roles this season. But alas, we need to break down if you should pick up Jalen McMillan.
McMillan is only rostered in 37.9% of leagues, but it is rapidly increasing as the day goes on, so we suggest you pick him up quick before he's gone in your league. So far this season, McMillan 6 receptions for 74 yards and one touchdown. After Evans and Godwin went down on Monday night, Jalen got 8 targets that game, his highest of the season so far.
To answer the question, yes you should pick up McMillan and even consider starting him this week. He's projected 10.4 fantasy points, but he has a high chance to get more than that in this action packed Buccaneers offense. He will most likely get 8+ targets on Sunday versus a very inconsistent Falcons defense who top-10 in worst defenses against wide receivers and is sixth in most touchdowns given up to wide receivers this year. Without a doubt, pick up Jalen McMillan this week.
