From the video
McMillan through these first three weeks is really only to get him the ball in like kind of these one-on-one situations...he's been targeted on 50% of his routes against man coverage...and then 21% against zone coverage...he actually did play against Christian Gonzalez in college when he was a true freshman at Arizona. He actually had 48 yards and a touchdown in the game against them when Gonzalez was at Oregon.
STACKED’s take
McMillan faces Gonzalez rematch with 50% man-coverage target rate; secondary weakness mitigates corner strength.
McMillan has been targeted on 50% of his routes against man coverage and 21% against zone coverage through three weeks; the source notes he played against Christian Gonzalez in college (48 yards, 1 TD as a true freshman at Arizona) and may face him again if Gonzalez returns, which would likely push the Patriots to more man coverage. However, the Patriots secondary has been bottom-five against wide receiver ones despite Gonzalez's strong individual metrics, and modern defensive schemes no longer feature single-corner lockdown coverage like historical examples; McMillan only needs to win a few reps out of his ~35 route sample to impact fantasy scoring.
