McMillan scores 44.2 PPR points to not only sit atop as the WR1 of Week 4, but record the most points by a WR this season. He set career-highs for receptions, targets, and yards in a week after catching 14 of 16 targets for 192 yards and 2 TDs in the Panthers Sunday Night Football win over the Lions.
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: Usage Turns Into Points
He had been quiet through the first three weeks, given his QB Bryce Young entered Week 4 as the QB4 with 23.7 PPR points per game. McMillan was producing just 9.8 PPR points per game, ranking as the WR39.
Although it wasn’t for a lack of usage or quality of it. He had a 21.3% target share on an offense that produced the most passing yards.
But the second-year WR finally announced himself with fellow WR Jalen Coker out.
His 44.2 PPR points are the second-most points scored by a WR since the start of last season, trailing only Puka Nacua's 46.5-point PPR performance.
We won't see McMillan again until the Panthers' Week 6 matchup with the Eagles because of their Week 5 bye.
