Jalen McMillan

Quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Jalen McMillan stand out as top last-minute waiver wire adds in fantasy football ahead of Week 16.

Many fantasy football managers still need to dig deep, even in the playoff semifinals. Scott Pianowski is here to help.

McMillan had five receptions (on six targets) for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-17 blowout win over the Chargers.

The rookie looked good in this one. McMillan got open for a 26-yard touchdown early on thanks to Mike Evans' and Cade Otton's rub-route setup. McMillan earned his keep as the game progressed though. His Week 15 highlight occurred when he badly shook CB Kristian Fulton, leaving the Chargers CB teetering back on his own heels. Fulton recovered in time to tackle McMillan after the catch but the Chargers quickly subbed Fulton out for a few plays, with Fulton evidently needing a moment to collect himself. McMillan is an upside WR4 against the Cowboys in Week 16.

Evans finishes with touchdowns of his own and contributed directly to a third. He and Cade Otton helped free up Jalen McMillan on a rub route in the first quarter that sent the rookie WR flying down the sideline for a 26-yard score. Evans looks every bit the crafty route runner he has always been, deftly shaking CB Kristin Fulton on his 35-yard fourth-quarter score. Evans is a WR1 next week, facing a Cowboys defense that just lost CB Trevon Diggs (knee) for the season.
