Impact of Chris Brazzell’s injury: Less Tetairoa McMillan in the slot (as I previously said) Xavier Legette confirmed favorite for WR3

Tetairoa McMillan is looking… 👀🔥 (@​mike_e_kaye)

ICYMI, I had @​LordReebs and @​PatKerrane on to talk about: DeVonta Smith / Makai Lemon Chris Olave / Jordyn Tyson Are we sleeping on Tetairoa McMillan? Omarion Hampton or Ashton Jeanty? Young RBs — Jeremiyah Love, Jadarian Price, Jonathon Brooks, RJ Harvey, Bhayshul Tuten, TreVeyon Henderson Sleeper rookies — KC Concepcion + Omar Cooper Jr. <https://youtu.be/tscnJ0dkzag?is=FpXhtQPlpIlEWAuY>

Dave Canales says that Chris Brazzell’s size and speed will allow the Panthers to use Tetairoa McMillan more in the slot this year, per @​josephperson

As we heard previously, Tetairoa McMillan is live for slot reps this season, especially when they have a reliable X in the game (if Chris Brazzell can do that)

On Chris Brazzell - a quote from Dave Canales: Signals Chris Brazzell as a deep threat and allowing Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker, and Xavier Legette operate in shorter roles (good for fantasy). Sounds like Brazzell will have a chance to earn playing time. (Via @​daringantt)

Tetairoa McMillan, who missed most of the spring with a foot injury, is in uniform and practicing.

Tetairoa McMillan was at practice with a helmet on after missing part of OTAs with a foot injury Good to hear he's likely participating - something I am still paying attention to as Training Camp goes on

Tetairoa McMillan yards per route last year ... Wide: 1.80 Slot: 2.00 [Quoted](

117 WRs ran at least 200 routes last season. Tetairoa McMillan's 15.2% slot rate on passing plays ranked 101st, squarely in the heavy X-receiver bucket with Courtland Sutton, Nico Collins and DK Metcalf (102-104). Chris Brazzell needs to emerge as the sacrificial player, and the Panthers need to spread it out more often to make it happen, but I do believe McMillan can work out of the slot. [Quoted](

Even if this is true, I don't think this is much of a boost for Tetairoa McMillan I want to here something like "McMillan will be targeted way more in the red zone and Bryce Young has been working on that connection with him all offseason" Young's CPOE (which takes aDOT into account) was 2.4% when targeting receivers from the slot vs. 1.7% out wide (per @​FantasyPtsData) Pretty negligible difference. McMillan only ran 104 routes from the slot last season, averaging 2.12 YPRR - He averaged 1.9...

Tetairoa McMillan expected to be used in the slot more this season, per @​CameronWolfe.

When I hear something like Tetairoa McMillan is going to be used in the slot more as a one off, I take it with a grain of salt, but it’s twice within 2 days (National Insider + Team Site) Think it’s real - if Chris Brazzell can get up to speed quicker they can lean into it more

Peak offseason content last few days: -Tetairoa McMillan is expected to be used in the slot more -Deebo Samuel is in the best shape of his life -De'Zhaun Stribling reportedly rated as the best WR by multiple teams -Kyler-JJ QB battle could go right up to the start of the season

The Panthers plan to use WR Tetairoa McMillan in the slot more this season, per @​CameronWolfe

Tetairoa McMillan Power Slot confirmed by NFL Insiders

Tight Ten: Emeka "X"-buka, Bhayshul Bias, & Power Slot Tetairoa McMillan | July 21 <https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1vJpPPAYbDdJE>

Who's ready for Tetairoa "Power Slot" McMillan? Sounds like the Panthers are exploring using McMillan in the slot more often to create mismatches

Panthers WR Room: Jalen Coker and Tetairoa McMillan clear top 2 Sounds like a mixed bag after that for WR3 (make or break for Legette) Take: I’d pick Brazzell to get that WR3 by end of season, but what do you win in a low volume pass offense?
