Tet just put up 70 catches, 1,014 yards and seven touchdowns as a 22-year-old rookie... He ran a route on nearly 90 percent of Carolina's passing plays, accounted for more than 42 percent of the team's air yards and earned a 28.5 percent first-read share. That is already an alpha receiver profile.

McMillan's alpha profile (90% route rate, 42% air yards) supports WR16 discount.

Tetairoa McMillan put up 70 catches, 1,014 yards and seven touchdowns as a 22-year-old rookie, won Offensive Rookie of the Year, and immediately established himself as Carolina's clear top target. The underlying usage was even more encouraging: he ran a route on nearly 90% of Carolina's passing plays, accounted for more than 42% of the team's air yards, and earned a 28.5% first-read share—an alpha receiver profile already established, not projected. At WR16 in current half-PPR ADP, the market is still discounting McMillan because Carolina isn't a fashionable passing environment. The Panthers made the playoffs last season, and McMillan doesn't need Bryce Young to become an MVP candidate; a modest improvement from Young would significantly boost McMillan's production.
