Tetairoa McMillan

Tetairoa McMillan wasted no time establishing himself as Carolina's clear-cut WR1, winning Offensive Rookie of the Year after nearly topping 1,100 receiving yards on 126 targets. The rookie standout commanded elite volume immediately, finishing with a 23% target share and massive 41% air yards share despite operating in a run-heavy offense. McMillan consistently delivered as Bryce Young's go-to option and flashed massive upside whenever the Panthers leaned into the passing game. After such a polished rookie campaign, T-Mac looks poised to make the jump into the fantasy WR1 conversation entering Year 2.

Cameron Wolfe reports that Tetairoa McMillan is expected to see more usage in the slot this season.

Fantasy Impact

McMillan started to see more snaps in the slot during the second half of his rookie season last year. Wolfe notes that the Panthers believe Chris Brazzell II will be able to play on the outside that will allow McMillan the opportunity to play more in the slot. He should be able to take advantage of mismatches in the slot as he looks to take a step forward heading into his second season in the NFL.
