Tetairoa McMillan 2025 Fantasy Football Outlook: Not In An Ideal Situation
While there was plenty of hype around new Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan in the pre-draft process, he has a litany of flaws on tape that he needs to work on. And though Panthers quarterback Bryce Young played much better down the stretch in 2025, he still didn't put up big numbers. McMillan figures to get solid volume in Year 1, but Young's "breakout" might not be all that. If he doesn't start elevating his numbers soon, McMillan could be in for a rough Year 1. The Panthers drafted Xavier Legette in Round 1 last season, and WR Jalen Coker has played impressively for an undrafted free agent. Additionally, slot WR Adam Thielen isn't going anywhere, and McMillan's lack of speed hurts against athletic outside cornerbacks. Young could easily regress to his start-of-2024 form, in which case Tet's first season would be a complete wash. The Panthers passing offense probably isn't one worth investing in for fantasy football, and if McMillan finishes outside the top 3 rookies in fantasy scoring, some analysts wouldn't be surprised. Exercise caution, and it's probably not worth reaching for him.
