The Carolina Panthers will host the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17. 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 17?
McMillan is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Panthers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit McMillan in Week 17?
McMillan surged to the top of the OROY odds board last week, and he’s deserving.
We’ve seen him earn targets all season, even with the defense essentially knowing where the ball is going, and he’s now just 76 yards away from 1,000.
He’s going to get there. The Panthers tried to get him going with a slant on the first play, and while that didn’t connect, Bryce Young hit him for an 11-yard gain just two plays later. In the first half of their biggest game in recent memory, Carolina counted on their rookie for 57 yards and a touchdown while all of his teammates combined for 50 receiving yards.
I view him as a safe WR2 this week and next season. If you play through Week 18, we could be looking at a top 10 option in the finale should the NFC South come down to it.
