Outlook Tetairoa McMillan
Expanding Slot Role and High Target Floor Make Sophomore Star a Draft-Day Steal
Building on a dominant rookie campaign where he posted 1,130 yards and eight touchdowns, Tetairoa McMillan enters his sophomore season fully established as Carolina's primary pass-catcher. After putting an early-summer foot injury behind him, reports highlight his added strength and expanding versatility, including increased snaps from the slot to create mismatches.
With Bryce Young under center, our models project McMillan for 88 receptions, 1,165 receiving yards, and eight scores on 134 targets (228.0 fantasy points). While offensive line injuries to starters like Taylor Moton and Ikem Ekwonu present protection questions, McMillan's target volume and contested-catch ability keep his weekly floor exceptionally high.
Draft sentiment has softened slightly from a mid-round third-tier peak near pick 35 down to an ADP of 46–47 in late August. Fantasy managers should view this market hesitation as an ideal buying opportunity, securing a bona fide go-to receiver at WR2 draft capital in full PPR leagues.

Outlook Emeka Egbuka
Poised for a Year 2 Leap as Tampa Bay's Outside Weapon
Entering his second season, Egbuka is positioned as a primary perimeter target in offensive coordinator Zac Robinson's offense, starting on the outside alongside Jalen McMillan and Chris Godwin Jr. After posting 66 catches for 970 yards and six scores on 135 targets in 2025, he steps into an elevated role in Tampa Bay's passing hierarchy.
His ADP trajectory held steady in the mid-fourth round (ADP 45.8) despite a brief late-August dip caused by a minor toe sprain. With the team optimistic about his Week 1 availability, this draft price presents a distinct value steal against our season projection of 80 receptions, 1,140 yards, and eight touchdowns (228.0 fantasy points).
Currently rostered in 100% of leagues with start rates climbing near 88%, fantasy managers can trust his expanding weekly workload. Tied to quarterback Baker Mayfield in an aggressive aerial scheme, Egbuka operates as a strong WR2 with weekly WR1 upside in full PPR leagues.
