Xavier Legette is facing stiff competition for a meaningful role in the Carolina Panthers' receiving corps in 2026. With Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Cooker ahead of him, and rookie Chris Brazzell II also vying for playing time, Legette's fantasy relevance is in question. His past production has been underwhelming, and he has fallen to WR115 in dynasty rankings

Even though Bryce Young and co. went 8-9 and lost in Week 18 to their division rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers , the scrappy team advanced to the postseason. Once there, their odd duck fairytale season came to a screeching halt after they were bested by the Los Angeles Rams 34-31 in the NFC Wild Card Round, which also happened to be the Panthers’ first playoff appearance since January 2018. “When we came here as a staff, our whole goal was to create a brand of football that we can be proud of. And that’s what we’re doing,” head coach Dave Canales said in a postgame press conference. “We’re building something from the ground up—from the basics, the fundamentals and the technique and all that and trying to build it the right way.” And, now, that the NFL has rolled out their 2026 schedule, we know who Canales’ club will face next season. Just a few of the most notable contests heading to Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium include Caleb Williams ’ Chicago Bears (Sept. 13), Jared Goff ’s Detroit Lions (Oct. 4), Bo Nix’s Denver Broncos (Nov. 8), Lamar Jackson ’s Baltimore Ravens (Nov. 22) and Sam Darnold ’s Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks (Jan. 3, 2027). Over the course of the offseason, general manager Dan Morgan got to work to make sure the team was up for the challenge. Notable signings include disruptive linebacker Jaelan Phillips , veteran backup quarterback Kenny Pickett , solid center Luke Fortner , journeyman offensive tackle Stone Forsythe and weapon-like wideout John Metchie III . They’ll be joined by splashy draft picks Monroe Freeling, Lee Hunter and Chris Brazzell II as well as returning stars Young, Derrick Brown , Jaycee Horn , Tetairoa McMillan and Taylor Moton .

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Chris Brazzell II finds himself in a crowded position group, but his unique skill set could allow him to contribute as a rookie. Brazzell, a third-round pick, possesses the acceleration needed to make plays downfield, which could help him earn snaps in his first NFL season. He currently projects as the No. 4 receiver behind Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker, and Xavier Legette, but he could take on a bigger role through good production or a teammate's injury. Brazzell is no stranger to contributing against top-tier competition. Facing SEC defenses at Tennessee last year, he exploded for 62 catches, 1,017 yards, and nine touchdowns. Now that he's a Panther, he ranks as the overall WR67 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings, and he projects as a mid-second-round pick in 2026 rookie drafts
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan, the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year, is now ranked WR9 in dynasty leagues after a 70-catch, 1,014-yard, 7-touchdown rookie season. Despite a weak supporting cast, McMillan achieved a 20%+ target share in 14 games. With few additions at receiver and tight end, McMillan is expected to maintain a heavy workload, and a developing connection with QB Bryce Young could solidify his WR1 status for dynasty teams
Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan said he's working on increasing weight and muscle this offseason. McMillan noted he was struggling to gain weight last season which led to him to playing at the same number (205) as his freshman year at Arizona. It didn't stop him from playing his way into winning the Offensive Rookie of the Year award. He could show even more improvement as he becomes stronger and more physical
Carolina Panthers second-year wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan said that he dropped 10 to 15 pounds during his rookie season in 2025 and got down to around 205 pounds, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. As a result, McMillan spent the offseason working on his "power" and weight/muscle gain. The 23-year-old former eighth overall pick out of the University of Arizona was named the Offensive Rookie of the Year after catching 70 of his 122 targets for 1,014 yards and seven touchdowns in 17 starts in his first year in the league. McMillan immediately became quarterback Bryce Young's go-to target in the passing game, and his arrow is firmly pointing upward in dynasty/keeper leagues as he heads into Year 2. He should grow in offensive coordinator Brad Idzik's scheme in his second season after finishing last year as the WR15 in half-PPR scoring. In redraft leagues this fall, fantasy managers should consider McMillan a low-end WR1/high-end WR2
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan finished his first professional season as the fantasy WR15 on his way to being named Offensive Rookie of the Year, and his arrow is realistically still pointing up. While it took him six weeks to score his first NFL touchdown, with only two receiving touchdowns through Week 10, he eventually found a knack for it, scoring five times over his final seven games. McMillan led the Panthers with a 26.3% target share, with an even more impressive 32.4% share of all first-down targets. While he could benefit from an improvement to the quality of targets, it's unlikely that anyone currently on the roster poses a serious threat to eat into his workload in year two. The Panthers have spent their last two first-round picks on the wide receiver position, and even with general manager Dan Morgan recently insinuating a third straight swing would not be out of the question, it seems improbable with several more glaring needs on the defensive side of the ball. McMillan is RotoBaller's WR9 in dynasty rankings, and he could be one of the safest young assets to build around
