The Carolina Panthers (4-4) will visit the Green Bay Packers (5-1) in Week 9. 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 McMillan Playing in Week 9?
McMillan is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit McMillan in Week 9?
Tetairoa McMillan is coming off catching a career-high seven passes against the Bills in a blowout loss, and we could get a similar path to production this week in Lambeau.
The rookie has earned targets like a player well beyond his experience levels, and that’s a great first step. The quality of targets is the primary issue, and while that’s something we can’t fix this season, the hope would be that it gets sorted out with time.
McMillan has cleared 100 air yards five times this season, and I think a sixth such performance is more than likely on Sunday. Playing anyone attached to this offense comes with risk, but the math works in your favor given the role, and that’s why I have T-Mac as a low-end WR2 this week, even in a difficult matchup.
