Will Jalen McMillan Play Tonight? (Injury Update, Pirates Bet Impact

UPDATE: Jalen McMillan missed Monday night’s game due to a hamstring injury.

Below is the first prop betting story on how to bet on McMillan if he becomes available this week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie Jalen McMillan was a late addition to the injury report Saturday with a hamstring injury.

McMillan has already missed time this season with a hamstring issue and played only 18 percent of the team’s snaps in Week 6 after returning from injury.

But McMillan has been a key player in the Bucs offense over the past two weeks; He played more than 80 percent of the snaps in Week 8 and has caught seven of his 15 targets in the last two games.

It remains to be seen whether he will play against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night, but if he does, he could be a solid target in the prop market.

My favorite play from McMillan on Monday Night Football (if he plays).

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.

One of my favorite prop bets on Monday night comes for rookie receiver Jalen MacMillan, as he should be in line for a big role since Evans and Godwin are both out.

MacMillan was targeted seven times while making just four catches in Week 8, the first game without both receivers. In fact, he has been targeted 15 times in the last two weeks, turning those targets into seven catches.

I think it’s a solid bet that he clears 3.5 receptions for the second straight week, especially considering the Bucs will likely play from behind in this game.

Last week, Baker Mayfield attempted a season-high 50 passes. If this continues, MacMillan will need to get a chance to catch up in Week 9.

Rates are updated periodically and may change.
