Chris Brazzell II 2026 Fantasy Football Outlook: Looking to Join Panthers Three Receiver Sets
When you see a receiver being drafted out of Baylor, TCU, or Tennessee, you should expect the red flags to start showing themselves. Fantasy managers have been hurt time and time again by promising pass-catching prospects from these schools, but is it time to give another prospect the benefit of the doubt as we enter the 2026 campaign? Back in April, the Carolin Panthers selected Chris Brazzell II after a 62-catch, 1,017-yard junior season at Tennessee. While the stigma of Volunteer receivers is fresh in fantasy managers' minds, the opportunity is there for Brazzell to be a playmaker in Carolina. With Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker establishing themselves last season, Brazzell will be in a camp battle with Xavier Legette, who has yet to live up to expectations after being drafted in the first round in 2024. Early indications from mini-camps suggest that Brazzell has been a standout for the Panthers and that David Canales has nothing but praise for the rookie. Brazzell is more than just a vertical threat (4.37 40-time), he's also 6'4 and has one of the more impressive catch radii in this year's draft class, which will look good in the red zone for the Panthers with McMillan, who is 6'5 himself.
