Fantasy Life Articles on Tetairoa McMillan
From the article
McMillan finished as WR16 overall and WR20 PPG. He finished as a top-12 wideout just twice all year long, while ranking outside the top-24 receivers in 12-of-17 weeks. Carolina's pedestrian passing attack played a major role in McMillan's limited ceiling.
STACKED’s take
McMillan's limited ceiling stems from Carolina's weak passing attack and QB struggles.
Adam Pfeifer is not actively targeting McMillan in 2026 drafts despite his impressive rookie season (70 catches, 1,014 yards, 7 TDs, WR16 overall). The primary concern is Carolina's pedestrian passing attack limiting his ceiling: the Panthers ranked 27th in pass rate over expected (-4%), 22nd in pass rate when trailing by 4+ points, and Young failed to reach 300 passing yards in 12-of-17 games. Young's metrics were poor (30th in EPA/play at -0.03, 33rd in YPA at 6.3, 22nd in CMP% at 63.6%). McMillan finished as WR20 PPG and ranked outside the top-24 receivers in 12-of-17 weeks. Post-bye usage raised questions about target share with a healthy Jalen Coker (McMillan: 23% target share, 18% TPRR, 25% EZ targets; Coker: 22% target share, 19% TPRR, 32% EZ targets). Pfeifer sees more upside elsewhere in that draft range.
