Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (vs. Chicago Bears). He was one of last season's more underrated wide receivers, the No. 16 scorer at his position despite playing for what was the league's sixth-worst overall offense. McMillan now kicks off his sophomore year facing a defense that, despite boasting a two-time Pro Bowl cornerback in Jaylon Johnson, struggled mightily against opposing wide receivers last season. Teams' No. 1 wide receivers on the whole averaged nearly three full fantasy points more against the Bears in 2025 than they did in a typical week, and 11 of them (in 18 games) scored 17 or more in those contests.
