Trends

"McMillan enters his second NFL season as a bit of a tricky evaluation. The 2024 third-round pick opened his rookie season as a de facto full-time player, but was rarely targeted behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. He was finally featured during the final five regular-season games and exploded for a league-high seven TD catches (at least one in all five outings) and 19.8 fantasy PPG (at least 16.7 points in all five). Of course, Godwin was out during that stretch and, even if he misses some time in 2025, the team drafted Emeka Egbuka in the first round of April's draft. Consistent fantasy production will be hard for McMillan to find with Evans, Godwin and Egbuka in the mix, not to mention that he's expected to miss a big chunk of the season due to injury."

"McMillan stepped up in a critical game for the Buccaneers, co-leading the team in receptions while setting the pace in receiving yards and targets. The second-year wideout's yardage tally was also a new career high, and it came in only his third game following a very delayed season debut due to a serious neck injury. McMillan could play a key role again in a Week 18 home matchup against the Panthers that will decide the NFC South title, as well as whether Tampa Bay makes the postseason."

	Jalen McMillan's receiving yards have increased by 233.1% over the past 16 weeks.
	Jalen McMillan's target share has decreased by 25.25% over the past 6 weeks.
	Jalen McMillan's receiving touchdowns have decreased by 75.0+% over the past 8 weeks.
	Jalen McMillan's receptions have increased by 169.23% over the past 16 weeks.
	Jalen McMillan's rushing yards per attempt has decreased by 75.0+% over the past 6 weeks.

Trends

"Minshew signed with the Chiefs and is expected to operate as Patrick Mahomes primary backup this season. This will be the journeyman's fifth team in seven seasons and he made multiple starts at each of his prior homes (Jacksonville, Philadelphia, Indianapolis and Las Vegas). Minshew has yet to play a full regular season and his best fantasy campaign was a 19th-place finish in 2019 (he was 13th on a per-game basis in 2020, but only appeared in nine games). Minshew played in 10 games with the Raiders last season, but threw more INTs (10) than touchdowns (nine) and eventually lost his starting job to Aidan O'Connell. Minshew is well off the fantasy radar and would only join the QB2 conversation if Mahomes were to miss time."

"While Minshew avoided a torn ACL, which was the initial fear Sunday, he's been diagnosed with a non-displaced tibial plateau fracture, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It's enough to end Minshew's season, as he'll miss the final two weeks. In the meantime, Kansas City will play out the string on the season with Chris Oladokun and Shane Buechele as its quarterback options."

	Gardner Minshew's passing yards per attempt has decreased by 73.53% over the past 6 weeks.
	Gardner Minshew's completion percentage has decreased by 71.47% over the past 6 weeks.
	Gardner Minshew's passing yards have decreased by 62.41% over the past 6 weeks.
	Gardner Minshew's rushing yards have decreased by 75.0+% over the past 6 weeks.

"Miller has had minimal production for most of the season, as he had just one catch over his first 10 appearances, but he logged three receptions for a second consecutive week in Sunday's defeat. He was on the field for 64 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps against Cleveland, and he'll likely continue to see increased playing time in Pittsburgh's win-or-go-home matchup against Baltimore in Week 18 since DK Metcalf will remain suspended."

	Scotty Miller's target share has increased by 254.93% over the past 8 weeks.
	Scotty Miller's targets have increased by 300+% over the past 8 weeks.
