McMillan's elite target volume and slot development target Chicago's weak interior secondary.

McMillan led rookie receivers in targets and yards despite ranking 19th in slot route rate (15.2%) and 14th in YAC per reception (3.9), indicating he relied on size and catch technique rather than layup looks. HC Dave Canales has emphasized his slot comfort in preseason. Against Chicago's 26th-ranked passing YPG allowed and 25th passing success rate allowed, where opposing WR1s averaged 17.3 PPR PPG in 2025, McMillan's case for finishing Week 1 inside the Top 12 strengthens with one of Chicago's projected starters still out with injury.
