  • Hauls in game-winning TD

    McMillan caught one of two targets for a 43-yard touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: While the rookie wideout was held in check for three quarters, McMillan finally got free on a fourth-down play in the fourth and hauled in a touchdown from Bryce Young for the go-ahead score. McMillan has gotten into the end zone in three straight games, producing an 11-208-4 line on 21 targets as he establishes himself as Young's go-to option in clutch situations. McMillan will get some rest during next week's bye before taking aim at the Saints in Week 15.

  • Scores team's only TD in loss

    McMillan brought in two of seven targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 20-9 loss to the 49ers on Monday night.

    Analysis: McMillan finished just a yard behind Rico Dowdle for the team lead in receiving yards, and although that came on a modest total, it was an acceptable number when factoring in Bryce Young threw for just 169 yards on the night. McMillan also recorded his third touchdown grab over the last two games on a 29-yard reception late in the third quarter, rounding out his fantasy production nicely. McMillan will aim for a boost in production in a Week 13 home matchup against the red-hot Rams, although…read more

  • Monster performance in Week 11

    McMillan caught eight of 12 targets for 130 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: The 2025 first-round pick from Arizona had the best game of his young career in Sunday's win, setting new career highs in yards, touchdowns and receptions. He benefitted from quarterback Bryce Young's best performance as a pro, with Young finding him for scores in both the first and fourth quarter. Through his first 10 NFL games, McMillan has looked like a budding star, catching 54 of 89 targets for 748 yards and four touchdowns. He draws a great Week 12 matchup against a struggling 49ers…read more

  • Five grabs in Sunday's loss

    McMillan caught five of eight targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: The rookie wideout continues to be the most reliable downfield option in an underpowered Panthers passing attack. McMillan has at least three receptions in every game so far this year, putting together a 46-618-2 line on 77 targets in nine contests. He'll look for his first TD since Week 6 in a Week 1 clash with the Falcons.

  • Suiting up Sunday

    McMillan (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday against the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: After McMillan was added to the Panthers' Week 10 practice report Friday as a limited participant due to a hamstring injury, coach Dave Canales expressed "concern" for the rookie wide receiver's status due to something that "popped up" during drills, per Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer. McMillan thus took a questionable designation into the weekend, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that he was expected to suit up for Sunday's game, which has come to pass. It's unclear…read more

  • Should play Sunday

    McMillan (hamstring) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: McMillan was a late-week addition to the injury report Friday after the hamstring issue resulted in him being a limited participant in the Panthers' practice session that day. Fortunately, the injury doesn't seem to be too significant for the rookie first-round pick, though it's fair to wonder if he'll be able to play a full complement of snaps. McMillan owns a 41-558-2 receiving line on 69 targets through nine appearances on the season.

  • Coach concerned by hamstring injury

    Panthers head coach Dave Canales acknowledged Friday that there's "concern'" about McMillan's hamstring after something "popped up" during Friday's practice, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: McMillan was added to the injury report Friday, listed as a limited participant in practice with a 'questionable' designation for Sunday's game against New Orleans. Canales said McMillan took a few practice reps after first noticing discomfort, but the wideout was then shut down for the rest of the day. The Panthers will evaluate McMillan on Saturday morning, at which point the team may or may not share any new information. Canales didn't make it sound like the hamstring injury is serious, but…read more

  • Added to report as questionable

    McMillan was added to the injury report Friday with a hamstring issue, and he's listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: McMillan was a limited practice participant Friday, after not being listed on the report at all Wednesday or Thursday. Panthers head coach Dave Canales told Person that the hamstring injury "popped up" Friday.

  • Modest numbers in Week 10 win

    McMillan caught four of six targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.

    Analysis: The rookie wideout was Bryce Young's first read once again, leading the Panthers in catches, targets and receiving yards, although that role didn't amount to much production as the team leaned heavily on Rico Dowdle to generate points. McMillan has caught at least three passes in every game so far, delivering a 41-558-2 line on 69 targets through nine contests. He could be a little busier in Week 10 against the Saints.

  • Just under century mark in loss

    McMillan brought in seven of 10 targets for 99 yards in the Panthers' 40-9 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

    Analysis: McMillan was essentially the lone bright spot for the Panthers in the embarrassing loss, easily leading Carolina across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The rookie first-round pick showed good chemistry with Andy Dalton, and the talented wideout's catch total was a new career high while his target tally tied his high-water mark over the first eight games. McMillan should remain busy in a Week 9 road trip to Green Bay, a game in which the Panthers may have to eventually take…read more

  • Overshadowed by Legette

    McMillan recorded three receptions on five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: McMillan got the attention of Sauce Gardner (concussion) for most of the game, which led to limited opportunity and production. Ultimately, he was held to five targets and three receptions for the second consecutive game, combining to record only 62 yards in that span. Things could open a bit for McMillan in Week 8 against Buffalo, as the Panthers will almost certainly have to have an effective passing attack to have hope of keeping pace in the contest.

  • Scores first two career TDs

    McMillan secured three of five targets for 29 yards and two touchdowns in the Panthers' 30-27 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

    Analysis: As his final line indicates, the rookie first-round pick made excellent use of his trio of catches, turning two of them into 19- and two-yard touchdown grabs for the first pair of end-zone trips of his career. Otherwise, McMillan's reception, yardage and target totals all tied or served as new season lows, making it a mixed bag of a day to an extent from a fantasy perspective. Nevertheless, McMillan's role as Carolina's No. 1 receiver is as iron clad as it gets, but he's likely to draw plenty…read more

  • Leads air attack again Sunday

    McMillan brought in six of eight targets for 73 yards in the Panthers' 27-24 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Analysis: McMillan led the Panthers in receptions, receiving yards and targets in what is becoming a customary occurrence for the talented rookie. The 2025 first-round pick equaled his career high in receptions while posting his second-highest yardage total to date, and he recorded multiple catches of 20-plus yards for the third time in five contests. The chemistry between McMillan and Bryce Young continues to grow by the game, and the duo will draw a favorable matchup at home against the Cowboys in Week…read more

  • Paces pass catchers in loss

    McMillan secured four of eight targets for 62 yards in the Panthers' 42-13 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

    Analysis: McMillan had been listed as questionable coming into the afternoon due to a calf issue, but the rookie first-round pick kept up his strong play while recording a team-high receiving yardage total. He also tied with Tommy Tremble for the team lead in targets, and given the disastrous team outcome for Carolina, the talented wideout's numbers were respectable. The Arizona product has risen above the Panthers' offensive struggles overall to eclipse the 60-yard mark in three of his first four NFL…read more

  • Cleared to play Week 4

    McMillan (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: McMillan took a questionable tag into the weekend after the calf issue kept him from practicing Wednesday before he logged limited sessions Thursday and Friday. The rookie wideout demonstrated enough progress in his recovery from the injury over the final two days of practice for the Panthers to sign off on him playing Sunday, and the expectation is that he'll be in line for his usual duties as Carolina's No. 1 receiver. After turning in a 14-216-0 receiving line on 27 targets through his first…read more

  • Expected to play vs. NE

    McMillan (calf) is expected to play against the Patriots on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: McMillan and starting running back Chuba Hubbard are both on track to play Sunday, though fantasy managers may have to wait for an official update from the Panthers approximately 90 minutes before their 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. McMillan has posted 14 catches (on 27 targets) for 216 yards through the first three games of the regular season, and he will headline the Panthers' pass-catching corps that will be without wide receiver Xavier Legette (hamstring) and tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle).

  • Deemed questionable, plans to play

    McMillan (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New England.

    Analysis: McMillan didn't practice Wednesday but managed limited participation Thursday and Friday. He said Wednesday that he'll be fine for Sunday's game, but fantasy managers should still keep an eye out for additional updates before the Panthers post their inactive list around 11:30 a.m. ET this Sunday.

  • Limited in return to practice

    McMillan (hamstring) was limited at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: McMillan popped up on Wednesday's injury report as a non-participant due to a hamstring issue, but he told David Newton of ESPN.com afterward that he'd be good to go for Sunday's contest at New England. Thursday's return to drills is a step in the right direction, but McMillan may need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a designation entering the weekend.

  • Back at practice Thursday

    McMillan (calf) was present at the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: After sitting out Wednesday's session due to a calf issue, McMillan was suited up for Thursday's padded practice. The Panthers' second Week 4 injury report will reveal how much activity the rookie wide receiver was able to handle. Through three games to begin his career, McMillan has six catches of 20-plus yards among his 14 receptions on 27 targets.

  • DNP due to calf issue

    McMillan didn't practice Wednesday due to a calf injury.

    Analysis: McMillan wasn't spotted during the media-access portion of the Panthers' first Week 4 session, and now the reason for his absence has become known. David Newton of ESPN.com reports that McMillan should be able to suit up Sunday at New England, but ultimately how the rookie wide receiver fares in practice this week will determine whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for that contest.

  • Not spotted at practice

    McMillan (undisclosed) is not present at the early portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: McMillan played a season-high 89 percent of offensive snaps during Carolina's blowout win over the Falcons in Week 3, though he secured only three of eight targets for 48 yards. Wednesday's official practice report will reveal whether the rookie first-round pick is working through an injury in advance of Sunday's road matchup against New England.

  • Quiet on eight targets

    McMillan recorded three receptions on eight targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 30-0 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: McMillan was plenty involved in the Panthers offense, as he doubled Carolina's next-closest pass catcher in targets. That didn't translate into much production, though he still showed impressive flashes, including making a leaping contested catch as well as a 23-yard reception out of the slot in the first quarter. McMillan has had a promising start to his rookie season, though his stat lines could be inconsistent due to the nature of the Panthers' offense.

  • First 100-yard game of career

    McMillan finished with six receptions on 10 targets for 100 yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The eighth-overall pick in this year's draft is living up to the hype, recording the first 100-yard receiving game of his career in just his second pro appearance. McMillan paced the Panthers in targets and yardage after accomplishing the same feat last week, as he's quickly become Bryce Young's most-trusted target out of the gates. The Arizona product is already making fantasy waves before scoring the first touchdown of his career, which is likely just around the corner given the wideout's…read more

  • Leading receiver in NFL debut

    McMillan caught five of nine targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: The eighth overall pick in the 2025 Draft was the unquestioned top wideout for the Panthers right out of the gate, as he led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards in a mostly disappointing day for Bryce Young and the passing game. McMillan will need better performances from his quarterback to turn that kind of volume into consistent production, but it was still an encouraging start to his pro career. He'll look to make a bigger impact on the road Week 2 against the Cardinals.

  • Sidesteps practice report

    McMillan (hamstring) wasn't listed on the Panthers' first Week 1 injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: McMillan first missed practice due to a hamstring injury on Aug. 18 but was back on the field on Aug. 26. Now more than a week later, he doesn't have any limitations at all, paving the way for him to make his pro debut Sunday in Jacksonville. With veteran WR Adam Thielen getting traded to the Vikings last week, McMillan is the unquestioned No. 1 option in Carolina's passing game for QB Bryce Young.

    McMillan (hamstring) returned to practice Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: McMillan was sidelined a little more than a week due to a minor hamstring injury, but getting back on the field more than a week before Week 1 prep begins bodes well for the eighth overall pick in this year's draft. It remains to be seen if he'll avoid the injury report entirely once Carolina is required to post one ahead of their season opener against Jacksonville.

  • Absent from practice

    McMillan (hamstring) is not practicing Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Panthers coach Dave Canales said McMillan is simply dealing with a tight hamstring after having handled a large preseason workload. The rookie first-rounder also sat out Monday's practice, but at this stage there are no concerns about his availability for Week 1. Canales has already announced that Carolina's starters will sit out Thursday's preseason finale against Pittsburgh.

    McMillan did not practice Monday due to a minor hamstring injury, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: McMillan joined Bryce Young and the starting offense for two series during Saturday's 20-3 preseason loss to Houston, in which he failed to haul in his only target and appears to have picked up a hamstring injury. Panthers coach Dave Canales has already stated that McMillan and the starters won't play in Thursday's exhibition finale against Pittsburgh, so the rookie first-round pick will turn his attention toward getting healthy for Week 1 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Sept. 7, a task the next…read more

  • Quiet in second preseason outing

    McMillan failed to bring in either of his two targets in the Panthers' 20-3 preseason loss to the Texans on Saturday afternoon.

    Analysis: The rookie first-round pick couldn't follow up his eye-catching 2-43-0 receiving line from Carolina's preseason opener. McMillan naturally was out there with the rest of the Panthers' projected starters over the first two drives, but Bryce Young didn't deliver a very accurate ball on one of his two targets, per Darin Gantt of the team's official site. McMillan's quiet afternoon notwithstanding, he projects for a significant role as a top target for Young right from the onset of his NFL career,…read more

  • Shows off chemistry with Young

    McMillan caught two of five targets for a game-high 43 yards in Friday's 30-10 preseason loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: The eighth overall pick in the 2025 Draft got the start and played the entire first half, but all his production came in the first quarter with Bryce Young under center. The duo connected on a deep shot down the sideline for a 30-yard gain to launch Carolina's second drive of the game, as McMillan beat his man on a jump ball, and he added a 13-yard catch later in the possession for a first down. Young then looked his way in the end zone, but the rookie wideout dropped a sure TD to put a blemish…read more

  • Participating in team drills

    McMillan (leg) has been participating in team drills at training camp this week, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: McMillan missed some time at minicamp after colliding with a defender, but he seems to be past the minor issue and is all systems go for the start of training camp. The No. 8 overall pick in the 2025 Draft back in April, McMillan should immediately slot in as the Panthers' starting X receiver on the outside. His average draft position has been dipping in recent weeks, and the rookie looks like a potential bargain in the sixth and seventh rounds of early-summer fantasy drafts.

  • Wraps minicamp with rest day

    McMillan (leg) is not participating in Carolina's final session of mandatory minicamp Thursday as a precautionary measure, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Panthers coach Dave Canales said McMillan took a hit to the leg Tuesday while accidentally colliding with a defensive back, per Joe Person of The Athletic, causing the rookie first-round pick to be held out of the final two days of mandator minicamp. All signs are that McMillan's absence from on-field work is purely precautionary, but the next chance to see him at team practices won't come until training camp in July.

  • Not practicing Wednesday

    McMillian (undisclosed) is not participating in Wednesday's minicamp session as a precautionary measure after he accidentally collided with a defensive back Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Carolina's team spokesman labeled McMillan's absence "precautionary." It's possible the rookie first-round pick could be sidelined again for the team's final offseason practice Thursday, but it appears he's only dealing with a minor issue and will be a full-go for the start of training camp. At 6-foot-4, 219 pounds, McMillan enters the league as one of the NFL's largest receivers. No. 8 overall draft capital essentially assures him an immediate starting role in the Panthers' wide receiver…read more
