The Carolina Panthers just added a 6-foot-5 target at No. 83 in Chris Brazzell II, who posted a precocious 19.3 Breakout Age (92nd-percentile) while proving he can dominate secondaries with an elite catch radius. Brazzell is an analytical high-flyer with an efficient 2.64 Yards Per Route Run and a surgical 24.5% Target Share, proving he possesses the rare combination of 95th-percentile height and the technical refinement to potentially command volume at the next level.
For dynasty managers, Brazzell is a later round pick in a position to compete with Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker in the Panthers’ offense.

The 8th overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, Tetairoa McMillan has been playing really well coming into week 11. Week 11 was his first truly dominant game with 8 catches 130 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns. This game will help McMillan’s candidacy for offensive rookie of the year.
Tetairoa McMillan was WR22 coming into week 11, this game will give him a bump up. Look for him to continue ascending, as the other pieces of the Panthers offense are stepping up. Quarterback Bryce Young just had his most prolific passing day yet, look for the offense to keep the ball rolling.

Rico Dowdle has been tearing it up in fantasy football. He has 3 games as the RB2 or better and is due for a big game versus the Saints. With his injury status now clear, expect a big game for Dowdle.
The Panthers just got bad news that Tetairoa McMillan is questionable with a hamstring injury. Should McMillan miss, this will only give more opportunity to Dowdle and the Panthers running game. Fire up Dowdle with confidence as a top-5 play this week!

Panthers fans and fantasy gamers alike need to monitor Tetairoa McMillan heading into Sunday’s matchup versus the Saints. McMillan has been downgraded to questionable with a hamstring injury.
The injury comes at a time when there was hope for a breakout game against a weak Saints secondary. McMillan has 1 WR1 game with a 16.9 outing Week 8 versus the Bills. Should McMillan suit up, it will be enticing to start him in a juicy matchup.

The sophomore wide receiver who has been turning heads this offseason is heading to the IR for the first four games with a quad injury. Jalen Coker has received glowing reviews from head coach Dave Canales, stating that Coker’s performance down the stretch in the 2024 season made the organization feel comfortable parting ways with veteran Adam Thielen. The word from Panthers camp is that Coker would get the opportunity to play out of the slot. A valued position for a big-bodied wide receiver who uses his leverage and strong hands to make plays against defenders.
The Panthers showed flashes at the end of last season, and quarterback Bryce Young is feeling confident and building some great chemistry with his young pass catchers. With the injury news and Thielen leaving town, this opens up a massive opportunity for rookie Tetairoa McMillan to burst onto the scene. The six-foot-4 receiver should immediately be the primary target earner after being drafted eighth overall in the 2024 draft. While he may not be the fastest player, he excels in the intermediate portion of the field when he is operating at full speed and battling for contested catches. We should anticipate a large number of targets and success for the rookie. Another player of note is Ja’Tavion Sanders, who did show some promise last season before dealing with some injuries. He is a late-round or waiver-wire stash.
This is a young offense on the rise, which is relatively cheap to acquire. According to Underdog, Tetairoa McMillan has an ADP of 38, Bryce Young sits at 150, while Sanders comes in at 195.

Bryce Young’s future looks very bright with the addition of Tet McMillan. The 2024 All-American put up over 1,300 receiving yards in 2024 and had a total of 26 touchdowns in his career at Arizona. McMillan now becomes Young’s future WR1 where he can help dominate touches and bring a strong outside presence with second year Xavier Legette.
McMillan has a big body (6’4″ 220lbs) and strength to dominate over the middle as well as the red zone. Has the skillset similar to players like Mike Evans and Drake London and should force defenses to focus on him allowing others to succeed. An excellent move by Carolina and an instant fantasy asset in both dynasty and redraft formats.
