The Carolina Panthers will visit the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Tetairoa McMillan.
Is Tetairoa McMillan Playing in Week 12?
McMillan is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit McMillan in Week 12?
This Carolina offense scored 30 points against the Falcons for the second time this season, and everything positive worked through McMillan, their WR1 of the present and future.
The rookie cleared 100 yards for the first time and scored multiple touchdowns for the second time with a career-high 128 yards as a nice bonus. He’s now averaged at least two yards per route run in four straight and has quietly been a very efficient player on third downs (six catches on eight targets in November).
The 49ers were picked apart by Michael Wilson last week, albeit in a one-sided game, and that was the fourth time in six weeks that the receiver leading his team in fantasy points more than doubled his season average in this matchup.
McMillan scored on the Panthers’ first drive last week, and I expect him to be weighed down with all of the usage he can handle for a team that is somehow just 1.5 games behind the three-seed Bears in a crowded middle tier of the NFC.
