Outlook Jalen McMillan
Named Starting Receiver Ahead of Week 1 Shootout in Cincinnati
McMillan was officially named a starting wide receiver for Tampa Bay this week, securing an outside role alongside Chris Godwin Jr. and Emeka Egbuka. However, he remains listed as questionable due to a lingering knee issue, so fantasy managers should check back for active updates prior to kickoff.
Facing the Bengals in an expected high-scoring contest, our projections place McMillan at roughly 2.5 catches for 36 yards (7.6 fantasy points). While his 36% rostered rate is climbing, an active start rate under 1% confirms he is best treated as a bench stash in standard formats with sneaky deep-league utility.

Mike Washington vs. Dolphins — Buzzworthy Rookie Stash with Contingent Upside
After a dominant preseason where he led all rookies with 168 rushing yards and generated heavy praise from the coaching staff, Washington has solidified his role as the primary backup in Las Vegas. With lead back Ashton Jeanty currently questionable due to an ankle injury, the fourth-round rookie is positioned for immediate rotational work in the season opener against Miami.
Fantasy managers have taken notice, pushing his roster rate up to 64%, though his 1% start rate confirms he remains an upside bench stash for now. Our weekly projection slots him for roughly 5.7 carries, 24 rushing yards, and 5.3 fantasy points in a favorable home environment. Leave him on your bench for Week 1, but hold tight given his explosive ability and contingent value if the backfield opens up.
