Newer update on Tetairoa McMillan: Jalen Hurts injury update: Eagles lose 25-14 to Panthers as IR stint continues

Tetairoa McMillan erupts for 6 catches, 110 yards, TD in first half

Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan delivered a career-best first half with 6 receptions, 110 yards, and a touchdown, marking his first score of the season.

By Cole Hartwell

Tetairoa McMillan is having a monster first half on Sunday, hauling in six catches for 110 yards and a touchdown with eight minutes still left in the second quarter. The performance already represents a season-high in receptions and receiving yards for the Panthers wideout.

What happened

McMillan found the end zone for the first time this season, according to a post from @UnderdogNFL on X. He reached the six-catch, 110-yard mark through Carolina’s first three drives, per @FieldYates, who noted both numbers were season-highs for the second-year receiver.

Context

McMillan entered Week 4 as the Panthers’ clear No. 1 wide receiver, playing on 86% of snaps through the first three games. He had been steady but unspectacular this year, with five catches for 75 yards in Week 1 and five more for 101 yards in Week 2, though he was limited to two receptions for 17 yards in Week 3.

What’s next

The Panthers are still in the middle of their Week 4 game, so McMillan has a chance to build on these numbers in the second half. His production will be a key storyline for Carolina’s offense moving forward if he can maintain this level of involvement.

Tetairoa McMillan off to a legendary night: 11 receptions (career high) 162 yards (career high) 2 TDs (ties career high)

Tetairoa McMillan through 3 drives tonight: 6 catches (season-high) 110 yards (season-high) 1 TD (first of the season) Balling

🏈 Fantasy impact

McMillan is delivering a breakout performance in real time. Managers who started him are already reaping the rewards, and those who had him benched should take note: this kind of usage—six catches for 110 yards and a score before halftime—signals that the Panthers are making him a focal point. If he finishes the game healthy and with similar volume, he immediately becomes a must-start WR2 in all formats. His first touchdown of the season is especially encouraging for those who drafted him as a breakout candidate. The only concern is consistency, as he disappeared in Week 3 with just two catches. If you have roster space, consider adding him where he’s still available, but don’t overreact to a single half of football. Let’s see how the rest of this game plays out before making any drastic moves.

Quick answers
