Tetairoa McMillan Snaps Scoreless Streak

What They're Saying

Here's McMillan on the pre-Week 6 scoreless streak, via reporter Gabe McDonald:

"God never makes mistakes. I wasn't worried about getting in that box because I knew eventually, He was gonna make it happen."

Carolina leaned on the run with 30 Rico Dowdle carries. Meanwhile, Bryce Young attempted only 25 passes, one shy of tying a season low. 

So McMillan’s two-TD day proved critical. He first scored on an end zone ball that saw Bryce Young manipulate the safety with a pump fake. Later, McMillan beat his man on a goal line out-breaker for a two-yard score.

McMillan nearly added another catch, but his mishandling of a target led to a Dallas INT.

Overall, he ranked just fourth on the team in receiving while tying Rico Dowdle for the team high in targets.

Next week should bring the return of WR Jalen Coker, who hasn't played this year due to a quad injury. His return won't impact McMillan's role, but he could reduce the snaps for Xavier Legette. He drew only 10% of the targets on a healthy 93% route rate.

The result: 2 catches for 17 yards.

McMillan remains a weekly must-start. Coker, meanwhile, brings some upside as a stash in leagues of 12+ leagues.
