Panthers WR Jalen Coker has “more or less solidified himself as the team’s No. 2 WR,” per reporter Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer. You probably remember Coker’s huge playoff game against the Rams: 9 catches, 134 yards, and 1 score on a 23% target share. Going back to Week 10, he ran a clear second among Carolina WRs in route rate, registering an 84% mark. The 24-year-old is now an exclusive rights free agent, but there’s no chance of him getting out of Carolina.

Panthers WR Teteroia McMillan scored his first two career TDs in Sunday’s win over Dallas. The rookie caught 3 of 5 targets for only 29 yards.

Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan tallied 6 catches for 73 yards in Sunday’s win over Miami. His 8 targets – a 26.6% team share – easily led the team.

Panthers WR Xavier Legette (hamstring) put in a full week of practice and will play vs. the Dolphins on Sunday. Despite the plus matchup, Legette should not be in fantasy lineups. He’s turned 15 targets into 4 catches and 8 yards in two games this season.

Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (calf) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Patriots. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. We haven’t sensed much concern about this injury, but we’ll look for further updates on McMillan and get Carolina’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. WR Xavier Legette (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 4.

Panthers WR Xavier Legette (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Falcons. Hopefully he wasn’t in your Week 3 fantasy plans. WRs Brycen Tremayne and David Moore figure to soak up most of Legette’s snaps, with WR Hunter Renfrow remaining in the slot.

Panthers WR Xavier Legette (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. Legette has turned 15 targets into 8 yards through two games this season. Hopefully he’s not in your Week 3 fantasy plans.

Panthers rookie WR Tetairoa McMillan delivered a solid first outing, especially when you consider how poorly his pass offense fared overall. McMillan led group in total snaps (53 of 64), routes (35 of 40), targets (9), receptions (5), and receiving yards (68). He accounted for 27.8% of the team's completions, 44.2% of the receiving yards, and 47.5% of the targeted air yards, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. McMillan was the only Panther to catch more than three passes and the only guy to exceed 32 receiving yards.

Following the Adam Thielen trade, Panthers GM Dan Morgan confirmed that WR Jalen Coker will play in the slot in 2025, according to Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer.

Carolina Panthers rookie WR Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) returned to practice on Tuesday, according to Joe Person of The Athletic.

Panthers’ rookie WR Tetairoa McMillan is dealing with a minor hamstring injury, according to David Newton of ESPN.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker hasn't done much to stand out in camp so far, according to The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye. Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, and Adam Thielen have been running as Carolina's top three WRs. And Hunter Renfrow has out-played Coker, per Kaye.

Panthers WR Adam Thielen said this week that he’ll consider retiring after the 2025 season. Thielen initially signed with the Vikings as a UDFA back in 2013. He turns 35 in August and is only under contract for the upcoming season.

Panthers HC Dave Canales said the kinds of things you'd expect a coach to say about his WRs at last week's NFL meetings in Florida. "I love the guys that we have," he told the Charlotte Observer. "And I'm excited about this year." He specifically talked about how he thinks Xavier Legette can become a DK Metcalf-type playmaker. But the way Canales talked about Legette suggested the coach might think that development will take time.

Panthers WR Xavier Legette (hip, wrist) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. He played through these injuries last week, posting a 5-28-0 line on a 71% route rate. Legette checks in as a low-end WR3 in the Week 18 Rankings.

Panthers WR Xavier Legette (hip, wrist) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Falcons. He went from a full practice on Wednesday to limited practices on Thursday and Friday. He went through the same routine last week before playing against the Buccaneers. We’re expecting Legette to play against Atlanta but will get Carolina’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.

There's a 70% chance of rain throughout today's Panthers-Buccaneers game. Winds are only expected to come in around 10 mph, though, so weather shouldn't have a big impact on this one. We're not adjusting projections for Carolina or Tampa Bay players.

Panthers WR Xavier Legette (hip, wrist) is active for today’s game vs. the Buccaneers. He’s in the WR4 mix in what should be a pass-heavy game from the Chuba Hubbard-less Panthers.
