McMillan also had another pass go off his outstretched hands on what could have, and probably should have, been a 30-yard touchdown. The rookie is the clear third receiver in Tampa Bay, and Baker Mayfield had no problem looking for him down the field. With the Bucs struggling to run the ball, and Chris Godwin now operating full-time in the slot, McMillan could have some big games on the outside for Tampa Bay and should be on the radar in deeper formats.
Mayfield had a big day to kick off the 2024 season.
The Bucs made a big deal out of Godwin moving back to a primary slot receiver role, and it paid off in a big way in Week 1. Baker Mayfield looked Godwin's way often when he needed tough catches the move the chains, and Godwin looked sharp in and out of his breaks in a way that wasn't there last season. We have seen what a healthy Chris Godwin can do, and it appears that we'll get that again this year. He is firmly on the WR2 radar in PPR formats, especially with the Bucs continuing to struggle to run the ball.
Mayfield completed 24 of 30 pass attempts for 289 yards and four touchdowns while rushing for 21 yards on three attempts in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Commanders.
