Reacts Results: Receiving expectations loud and clear
The Carolina Panthers kick off their training camp next week. Rookies report on July 21st, veterans on July 22nd, and we’ll be inundated with glowing reports of how great and healthy everybody looks by about July 23rd. For all that it can be hard to parse just how much progress a team has made from year to year by the news filtering out of camp, there are always kernels of truth to hold onto. On the one hand, if we hear about Jonathon Brooks spending the entire camp on the Edmund Kugbila Memorial Stationary Bike then we can temper our expectations. On the other hand, it’s hard to know what to make of these practices if Bryce Young throws zero incompletions or interceptions all camp and the receivers catch every ball in their zip code. For all that we may not see every step of development in camp, development does occur. We should be able to see noticeable differences in a lot of position groups by the start of the preseason. This, of course, assumes that the Panthers decide to play any of their starters in the preseason. Holding that optimistic assumption for a moment, we decided to ask y’all which position group you’re most excited to see develop this training camp. Unsurprisingly, y’all want to see the wide receivers. Wide receiver is going to be the group with the fiercest competition for roster spots on the final 53-man roster. The Panthers usually carry six wide receivers on their final roster and try to sneak a couple more guys that they like onto their practice squad. That usually isn’t a problem as most folks around the league have not been looking at players that get cut by the Panthers as viable NFL players. That’s a large part of how they snuck Jalen Coker onto their practice squad last season before signing him to a 3-year, $35M contract this offseason. This year, Coker is a lock to make the roster. So is Tetairoa McMillan , the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year. After that, you have Chris Brazzell II, the 83rd overall pick this year, fifth-year veteran Dan Chisena , second-year veteran Jimmy Horn Jr , third-year veteran Xavier Legette , new free agent and fourth-year veteran John Metchie III , eighth-year veteran David Moore , and second-year veteran (and former undrafted free agent) Brycen Tremayne as your seven guys competing for what are likely four remaining roster spots. There are more questions than answers at this point in the offseason about each of these players and how they might stack up against each other. We’ll know more in August, when the Panthers have four preseason games and two joint practices with their last two preseason opponents, the Jacksonville Jaguars (August 19th practice, August 21st game) and the Houston Texans (August 26th practice, August 28th game). For now, break out your old tea leaves or spare goat entrails. Treat the comments here on CSR as good hill and watch the birds. It’s divining season, and the Panthers actually have some tough cuts to make with a talented group of players. Who do you think will make the roster?

Xavier Legette Drops Weight in the Offseason
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette said he lost seven to nine pounds in the offseason and is now down to 221 pounds, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. Legette also said he's tried to "bulletproof" his hamstrings after previously having issues with them. The 25-year-old, who was the 32nd overall pick in 2024 out of South Carolina, has failed to live up to his lofty draft capital in his first two years in the NFL in Carolina. Legette has totaled 84 receptions on 148 targets for 860 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in 31 regular-season games (25 starts). His production took a dip last year, too, as he finished with a 35-363-3 line on 64 targets across 15 regular-season contests. Last year's first-rounder, Tetairoa McMillan, looks like the real deal, and Jalen Coker appears primed to be a breakout candidate in his third year as the team's WR2. That leaves Legette battling with John Metchie III and rookie Chris Brazzell II for targets as the Panthers' WR3. In standard 12-team fantasy leagues in 2026, Legette should go undrafted

Panthers sign WR Malick Meiga
Yahoo Sports NFLSource ↗
The Panthers announced the addition of a wide receiver to their 90-man roster on Monday. They have signed Malick Meiga ahead of their mandatory minicamp. Tight end Heinrich Haarberg was waived off of the roster in a corresponding move. Meiga went undrafted after catching 19 passes for 209 yards and a touchdown at Coastal Carolina last season. The Panthers drafted Chris Brazzell in the third round and signed John Metchie to go with Tetairoa McMillan , Jalen Coker , Xavier Legette , and Jimmy Horn at receiver. Haarberg signed with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent in May. He played quarterback at Nebraska before moving to tight end in 2024

Carolina Panthers 2026 off-season fan mailbag: WR talent, Matt Rhule, hypothetical trades, and more!
The Carolina Panthers' WR talent is ranked 16th on paper, with Tetairoa McMillan as WR1 and Jalen Coker as WR2. Young talent like Chris Brazzell and Xavier Legette offers upside. The team is better constructed to win close games this season compared to last, bolstered by additional defensive line talent, including Jaelan Phillips

Xavier Legette Fighting for His Future in Carolina?
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

Is Chris Brazzell II the Top Deep Threat in Carolina's Receiver Room?
sleeper-rotoballerSource ↗
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

Can Tetairoa McMillan Become a Dynasty Cornerstone?
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

Chris Brazzell - Chosen by Carolina
sleeper-rotowireSource unavailable
The Panthers selected Brazzell in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 83rd overall. Brazzell posted an impressive 4.37-second 40-yard dash time at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, and that speed -- coupled with a 6-foot-4 frame -- served him well during his four-year college career. He spent his final two years in Tennessee and was named to both the All-American Third-Team and All-SEC First-Team in 2025 after catching 62 passes for 1,017 yards and nine touchdowns across 12 games. Brazzell has no trouble getting to top speed, making him a dangerous deep threat that can win any jump ball, though his route-running tree and run blocking will both need to improve at the NFL level. With 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year Tetairoa McMillan leading the Panthers' pass-catching group, Brazzell's main competition for targets from QB Bryce Young will come from Jalen Coker and Xavier Legette

Panthers Select Chris Brazzell II in the Third Round
sleeper-rotoballerSource ↗
The Carolina Panthers have selected University of Tennessee wide receiver Chris Brazzell II with the 83rd overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-4 pass catcher opened his collegiate career at Tulane before transferring to Tennessee. In 12 games last season, he caught 62 passes for 1,017 yards and an SEC-leading nine touchdowns. Brazzell was a vertical receiver who stretched the field at school, but he's capable of flashing versatility and occupying a variety of roles. That will fit nicely in a Carolina receiver room that already features Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker, and Xavier Legette. Brazzell might not have fantasy relevance as soon as Week 1 in his rookie season, but there's plenty of long-term upside here. He ranks as the WR68 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings
