McMillan finished as the WR17 for Week 9 so far, catching 4 of 6 targets for 56 yards and a TD against the Broncos. His long was 20 yards. He played 53 snaps and ran 36 routes, tied for the most on the team. Carolina leaned on 12 and 13 personnel, and its TEs drew 18 of Bryce Young’s 39 targets, including 10 for Darren Waller.

That shift hurt the WRs. McMillan came in averaging 9.3 targets per game (WR10) with a 26.4% target share (WR13). He entered as the WR14 in PPR points per game. He saw 11 targets in Week 8 but turned them into just 6 catches for 58 yards (WR30). His 6 targets here were well below his average, but the TD salvaged his day.
Jalen Coker has struggled even more. He caught 4 of 5 targets for just 29 yards and lost 3 yards on a carry, finishing as the WR45. That followed a 2-catch, 36-yard Week 8 (WR39), though a TD salvaged that game. Coker came in as the WR25 in PPR points per game with 7.3 targets per game (WR21) and a 21.3% share. His 5.0 yards after the catch per reception ranks 14th, but he’s averaged just 7.3 yards per catch over the past two weeks despite playing a team-high 54 snaps in Week 9.
Week 10 is at New Orleans, which allows the 17th-most fantasy points to WRs (31.4 per game) and ranks 24th in Pass Defense Power. Week 11 brings Baltimore (11th-most to WRs, 34.0; 18th in Pass Defense Power). Week 12 is at Tampa Bay (24th, 28.5), which ranks 5th in Pass Defense Power. McMillan’s target share keeps him a WR2. Coker is a WR4 until Carolina returns to more 11 personnel.
