Buccaneers blowing out Panthers with 33-6 halftime lead
Baker Mayfield is back, and apparently, so are the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay crushed the Panthers in the first half, forcing three turnovers and scoring in every phase. The Bucs lead 33-6 at halftime. Mayfield didn’t do much, but he didn’t need to with the Panthers self-destructing. Bryce Young lost a fumble on a strip-sack by Al-Quadin Muhammad that Calijah Kancey returned 32 yards for a touchdown; Panthers wide receiver David Moore muffed a punt that Ko Kieft recovered for the Bucs at the Carolina 18, and Chase McLaughlin kicked a 22-yard field goal after Tampa Bay stalled at the Carolina 4; and Bucs cornerback Zyon McCollum intercepted Young just before the half, with his 18-yard return setting up Tampa Bay at the Carolina 32. Tez Johnson scored on an 18-yard reception from Mayfield with four seconds left in the first half. It was Mayfield’s 200th career touchdown throw. Even when things went right for Young and Carolina, they went so wrong. The Panthers scored their only points on a 50-yard reception by tight end Darren Waller, but Ryan Fitzgerald’s PAT attempt was blocked by Tykee Smith. McCollum returned it for a defensive 2-point conversion. It is the first defensive 2-point conversion in the NFL this season after teams combined for two all of last season. The Bucs have 196 yards, and Mayfield is only 5-of-9 for 49 yards and a touchdown. Bucky Irving has 18 carries for 84 yards and two touchdowns. The Panthers have 114 yards, with Young 7-of-11 for 95 yards with a touchdown and an interception

Tetairoa McMillan Has Low Output in Blowout Loss to Bucs
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan posted four receptions (on six targets) for 40 yards (10.0 yards per catch) and did not find the end zone in a 43-13 blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7. He played 38 offensive snaps. The lopsided loss made it difficult for any Panther player to put up large numbers on Sunday, but it was McMillan's second-lowest output of the 2026 season (two receptions for 17 yards in Week 3). Still, McMillan led Carolina in targets and tied for the team lead in receptions with running back Chuba Hubbard. Quarterback Bryce Young only threw for 163 yards on the day, and 50 of those came on his lone touchdown pass to tight end Darren Waller. This game is likely an anomaly, as the Panthers found themselves down 33-6 at halftime. McMillan will remain heavily involved in Carolina's passing game and is still a must-start player. He will look to bounce back on Thursday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8

Jaelan Phillips out of Panthers practice Wednesday
The Panthers have released their injury report for Wednesday and it includes linebacker Jaelan Phillips as a non-participant in the team’s first practice of the week. Wednesday’s practice was only a walkthrough, but Phillips would have been out of a full practice due to a hamstring injury. Phillips hurt his hamstring early in last Sunday’s win over the Eagles, but was able to return to the field later in the game. Linebacker Thomas Incoom (calf) was the only other player listed as out of practice due to an injury. Running back Chuba Hubbard, linebacker Devin Lloyd, right tackle Taylor Moton, and tight end Darren Waller were all given rest days. Quarterback Bryce Young (knee), running back AJ Dillon (ankle), offensive tackle Monroe Freeling (knee), and linebacker Bam Martin-Scott (hamstring) were all listed as full participants. Dillon and Freeling did not play last week while Martin-Scott is waiting to be activated from injured reserve

Darren Waller - Quiet in Week 6 win
sleeper-rotowire+13 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Waller failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 25-14 win over the Eagles. Waller dealt with a toe injury during the practice week and ended up playing behind both Tommy Tremble and Mitchell Evans in this one, as Tremble was the big producer in the box score, catching a pair of red-zone touchdowns. Waller is one of the many touchdown-or-bust fantasy options at the tight end position

Darren Waller Looking to Remain Involved in Week 6 Game Versus Eagles
Carolina Panthers tight end Darren Waller (toe) enters Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles with 13 receptions for 148 yards (11.4 yards per reception) and two touchdowns. He will look to continue his solid production against the Eagles. Waller is dealing with a toe injury and was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday before being upgraded to a full participant on Friday. He will come into Sunday's game without an injury designation and is good to go. Waller faces a Philadelphia defense that allows 238.8 passing yards per game (26th in the NFL), but, according to Pro Football Reference, only gives up 4.9 fantasy points per game to tight end (eighth in the NFL). Waller has caught both of his touchdowns in the red zone this season. He is RotoBaller's No. 18 tight end for Week 6 (half-PPR)

Darren Waller - Good to go
sleeper-rotowire+13 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Waller (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Philadelphia. Waller should be fine to handle his usual role after upgrading to full practice participation Friday. He was limited Wednesday and Thursday, coming out of a Week 5 bye

Darren Waller Carries No Injury Designation Into Week 6
Carolina Panthers tight end Darren Waller (toe) practiced in full Friday and carries no injury designation into Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to the team's final injury report. Waller was listed as a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday, although Wednesday's participation was only an estimate because Carolina did not practice. He has caught 13 passes for 148 yards and two touchdowns through four games, with both scores coming against Atlanta in Week 2. His involvement in the passing game has increased recently, drawing eight targets against Cleveland in Week 3 and six against Detroit in Week 4 after receiving just five combined over the first two games. However, those 14 targets produced only eight catches for 87 yards without a touchdown. With Jalen Coker also cleared to play, Waller remains a touchdown-dependent TE2 option for fantasy managers in Week 6

Darren Waller - Limited again Thursday
sleeper-rotowire+13 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Waller (toe) remained limited at Thursday's practice. Waller has registered back-to-back limited practice sessions coming out of Carolina's Week 5 bye. The veteran TE could avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles but ramping up his participation level to full Friday. Tommy Tremble (ribs) has also opened Week 6 prep with consecutive limited practices, but both Waller and Tremble seem likely to suit up Sunday, as neither has missed a game this season
