Tetairoa McMillan leads Carolina in receiving on Thursday night
Tetairoa McMillan led the club in targets (11) and receiving yards (58) while finishing second in receptions (6) in Week 8.
On Thursday night, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan led the team in receiving with six catches for 58 yards, according to USA TODAY. He was targeted 11 times in the game, which the Panthers ultimately lost to the Green Bay Packers. With Bryce Young struggling to find success in the passing game, the team relied on quick, short passes to minimize the risk of throwing long downfield.
Unfortunately, this strategy did not yield the desired results, and McMillan averaged only 9.7 yards per catch. This was his third underwhelming performance in his last five games and his second consecutive disappointing outing. Despite his talent and potential, McMillan's recent production has not lived up to expectations. While he remains a versatile option at the WR2 level, the Panthers need to find a solution to keep Young more involved in the passing game and protect him from getting sacked.
