Tetairoa McMillan posted underwhelming numbers in Week 12 against the 49ers. The rookie WR had two receptions for 35 yards and one touchdown that salvaged his fantasy day. It was only the third time this year that McMillan totaled less than 40 yards in a single game. The Panthers take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 13. The Rams' defense held Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka to three catches for 32 yards last week and has only given up three TDs to WRs since Week 5. McMillan has displayed a respectable statistical floor throughout the season, so he should remain in lineups for Week 13. Bryce Young may be able to elevate McMillan's fantasy totals in catch-up mode. Carolina's top WR has been targeted by Young at least six times in the last five games.

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan caught just two of seven targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 20-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. McMillan and quarterback Bryce Young struggled to connect in this game, with the two often on the wrong page or Young delivering an inaccurate ball. The rookie wideout isn't without blame, however, as he had a bad drop on a third down in the first half. McMillan was at least able to connect with Young on a beautiful 29-yard touchdown late in the third quarter to at least salvage a decent fantasy day for managers. It was still a disappointing result for the Panthers' passing attack after a great performance last week against the Atlanta Falcons, when McMillan went for 130 yards and two touchdowns. McMillan still projects favorably as the Panthers' clear No. 1 target for their Week 13 matchup against the NFC-leading Los Angeles Rams.

Tetairoa McMillan delivered his best performance of the season in the Panthers' 30-27 triumph over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 11. The rookie WR totaled 130 receiving yards on eight receptions and caught two touchdown passes. He finished with 33 PPR fantasy points. In one game, McMillan doubled his TD total for the season. It was the first time this season that McMillan surpassed 30 PPR Fantasy Points, and he placed as the overall fantasy WR2. In Week 12, Carolina will go against the San Francisco 49ers, who rank 28th in the league in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to WRs in 2025. Last week, the 49ers gave up 452 yards, the most of all teams. With a plus matchup lining up for McMillan, he remains a must-start in all formats this week.

Carolina Panthers rookie first-round wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (ankle) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday in the team's first practice of the week, according to the team's official website. McMillan is dealing with a minor ankle injury that shouldn't impact his availability for a Monday night game against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. The 22-year-old pass-catcher out of Arizona has immediately become Carolina's top receiver and has impressed in his first 11 games, catching 54 of his 89 targets for 748 yards and four touchdowns. McMillan set season highs across the board in catches (eight), targets (12), and receiving yards (130) while also scoring twice in the overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. A second straight monster performance could be in store for McMillan against a 49ers defense that is banged up. McMillan has clear WR1 upside in fantasy this week.

Panthers' WR Tetairoa McMillan scored an astounding 33.00 fantasy points in Sunday's Week 11 win in Atlanta. McMillan caught eight passes for 130 yards with two touchdowns.
Dynasty | Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan had eight catches for 130 yards and two touchdowns in a win over the Falcons. Dynasty Analysis: We've said for weeks we believe McMillan is a very solid receiver but may not truly have the chops to be a consistent WR1 in dynasty leagues. Well, this was the performance needed to start to change that narrative. McMillan was fantastic in this one as he routinely made plays to break the hearts of any Atlanta fans. McMillan will be locked and loaded as an option moving forward as he and Bryce Young are cooking with gas.
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan caught eight of 12 targets for 130 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 11 win over the Atlanta Falcons in overtime. McMillan continues to showcase a phenomenal rapport with Bryce Young, fetching at least eight targets in eight of his first 11 games. The rookie set new season-highs (and, thus, career-highs) in targets, catches, and receiving yards on Sunday. He'll look to build on his momentum as a high-end WR2 with WR1 upside entering Week 12 against the San Francisco 49ers.
From RotoBaller
Panthers' WR Tetairoa McMillan had 8 receptions for 130 yards with two touchdowns in Sunday's win in Atlanta.
Tetairoa McMillan posted just adequate numbers but was Carolina's top wide receiver again in Week 10 against the Saints. The rookie WR totaled 11 Fantasy PPR Points with 60 yards on five receptions. Week 10 was the third time in the last five weeks that McMillan posted double-digit PPR points totals. Carolina's opponent for Week 11 is the Atlanta Falcons, who rank eighth in Fantasy Points allowed to WRs this season. Atlanta has a run-funnel defense that allows 26.53 points to RBs this season, which ranks 29th in the league. Look for Carolina to rely more on their ground game this week. Despite Carolina's run-heavy approach, McMillan provides enough of a respectable statistical floor to be a starter in fantasy leagues.

Tetairoa McMillan was the top wide receiver again for the Panthers in the 17-7 loss against New Orleans, but his numbers were only adequate. The rookie wide receiver totaled 60 yards on five receptions and registered 11 PPR fantasy points. This was the third time in five games in which McMillan posted double-digit PPR points. In Week 11, the Panthers are up against the Atlanta Falcons, who ranked eighth in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to WRs entering Week 10. Atlanta also ranked 31st in FFPG allowed to RBs over the four weeks leading up to Week 10 and allowed 244 rushing yards to Jonathan Taylor on Sunday. With Atlanta being vulnerable to the run more than the passing game, expect the Panthers to rely on their ground game. Despite a run-first approach, fantasy players should continue to start McMillan, as he can provide a decent statistical floor in any week.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's Week 10 contest against the New Orleans Saints. He had been listed as questionable after popping up on the injury report as a limited participant this past Friday. The rookie has impressed through nine games, ranking as the overall WR21 in PPR leagues with 41 catches, 558 yards, and a pair of touchdowns. A matchup against the Saints should lead to plenty of scoring opportunities, which bodes well for McMillan and his Panthers teammates.
From RotoBaller
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) is expected to play in Sunday's game versus the New Orleans Saints. He showed up on Friday's injury report because of a hamstring issue, resulting in a questionable designation. Fortunately, it appears fantasy managers will have him out there in Week 10. The rookie has played well this season despite only scoring two touchdowns, amassing 41 catches (69 targets) for 558 yards, making him a viable fantasy option in any format for the favorable matchup with the Saints. His presence in the lineup could also make life easier for Bryce Young, who is coming off a rough showing in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers.

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) is trending towards playing on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. The Panthers brought up wide receiver Dan Chisena from their practice squad, but it could say more about Brycen Tremayne's availability to play in Week 10 than McMillan. The rookie wideout's status will become clearer as we get closer to kickoff on Sunday, but the expectation as of now is that McMillan will be good to go. The rookie first-rounder has been the engine of Carolina's passing game this season, catching 41 of his 69 targets for 558 yards and two touchdowns in nine games. His production has slid a bit recently as the Panthers have trended more run-heavy, but McMillan still projects as an upside WR2 if he can play in Week 10 versus the Saints.
From RotoBaller
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints, and head coach Dave Canales acknowledged that he's concerned about the rookie's status. However, if McMillan does suit up on Sunday, he'll rank as a low-end WR2 and should be started in all fantasy leagues. The 22-year-old has found plenty of success in his first pro season, catching 41 passes for 558 yards and two touchdowns while ranking as the overall WR21 in PPR leagues. He's a high-volume target in an offense that passes the ball a decent amount; he had both a 100-yard game and a multi-touchdown game within the first six weeks of his NFL debut. McMillan is a strong WR2 option for the rest of the season, but as long as he's on the injury report, managers will need to confirm his availability 90 minutes before kickoff.

Carolina Panthers rookie first-round wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) was added to Friday's injury report with a hamstring injury and is now questionable to play on Sunday against the division-rival New Orleans Saints in Week 10. Head coach Dave Canales said McMillan's hamstring issue "popped up" on Friday. The 22-year-old wasn't listed on the weekly injury report on Wednesday or Thursday. Late-week additions to the injury report are usually never a good thing, so fantasy managers should not be surprised if McMillan is unavailable to play this weekend or limited if he's on the field. In his first NFL season, McMillan has been the Panthers' most consistent pass-catcher, hauling in 41 of his 69 targets for 558 yards and two touchdowns in nine starts. If he cannot go against New Orleans, Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker would be in play as flex options in fantasy leagues, with rookie Jimmy Horn Jr. being elevated to the No. 3 role.

From FantasyLife
Tetairoa McMillan was the top receiver for the Carolina Panthers again in their 16-13 upset over the Green Bay Packers in Week 9, but the numbers were not outstanding. The rookie wide receiver totaled 46 yards on four receptions with 8.6 PPR fantasy points. Carolina's defense kept the game close, and the Panthers prioritize the running game over the passing game. Although McMillan remains the target hog for the team in the passing game, Carolina's run-first approach is likely to be on display again in Week 10 against the Saints. New Orleans ranks 28th in the last two weeks in fantasy points per game allowed to running backs (29.3), and gave up 172 rushing yards to the Rams RBs in Week 9. Despite the Panthers favoring the running game, fantasy players should continue starting McMillan in lineups, especially as he can flash upside in any given week.
From RotoBaller
Tetairoa McMillan was the only standout player from the Panthers last week, delivering one of his top fantasy performances of the season. The rookie wide receiver had seven receptions for 99 yards, earning 16.9 PPR fantasy points against the Buffalo Bills. It was the sixth time this year that McMillan recorded double-digit PPR fantasy points. With the Panthers facing the Green Bay Packers in Week 9, McMillan may be in for another favorable situation. The Packers rank 22nd in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers (34.01) over the past four weeks. Last week, two Pittsburgh Steelers WRs finished top-14 in PPR scoring against them. McMillan remains a must-start option, and hopefully, Bryce Young can elevate his numbers in catch-up mode like Andy Dalton did last week.

Dynasty | Panthers receiver Tetairoa McMillan had a career-high seven catches for 99 yards in a loss to the Bills. Dynasty Analysis: McMillan had six more targets (ten total) and has clearly established himself as the WR1 on the team through the first half of the season. While he has yet to truly have a dominant fantasy performance, it seems that's just a matter of time. McMillan's ADP is stable as he has clearly established himself as a player with a high floor moving forward. Today's catch total was a career high and that seems unlikely to stand for long.
