NegativeRoleSep 25, 2026Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz

Jaylen McMillan from the Buccaneers was not listed on the injury report but played last week without being actively involved in the offense. Ian Hartitz is concerned that with Ted Hurst getting good reviews and being their primary field-stretching receiver, McMillan may not see significant snaps and could lose targets to Hurst, similar to how Mark Butkus and Chris Godwin might lose snaps.
