Tetairoa McMillan has Potential to Break Out Against Patriots
Week 4 could be the breakout we have been waiting for, as rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan and the Carolina Panthers are set to play a vulnerable Patriots pass defense. McMillan's modest three-catch, 48-yard day in the Panthers' Week 3 victory was simply a consequence of a low-volume game, as quarterback Bryce Young was only asked to throw 24 times. That script is guaranteed to flip in Week 4 against the Patriots. The Patriots pose an extreme challenge; they rank second in the NFL against the run but are one of the league's most vulnerable pass defenses. Given this mismatch, the Panthers will be forced to win through the air. McMillan has already established himself as Carolina's clear WR1, leading the team in targets and receiving yards. With the game plan dictating a heavy passing attack, McMillan is set up for massive volume, which could lead to a true breakout performance in Foxborough.
