Carolina Panthers rookie first-round wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan is the team's standout performer at training camp so far, in the opinion of ESPN's David Newton. He goes on to write that McMillan has had up-and-down moments, but he's also "shown flashes of greatness" that wasn't available to young quarterback Bryce Young in 2024. Newton believes that the wideout from Arizona will make a big and immediate impact in the offense in his first year in the NFL, which is why Carolina took him eighth overall in April. When Young and the offense were struggling in a joint practice on Wednesday, Young seemed to find McMillan for a big completion. "I love the chemistry that they're developing," head coach Dave Canales said. "Especially down the field. Bryce has been giving T-Mac a lot of opportunities." McMillan is a pure WR2/3 upside target in fantasy.

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said that wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (hamstring) is running and cutting, but Canales doesn't want Renfrow practicing just yet. The Associated Press' Steve Reed says it sounds like the Panthers are just being extra cautious with a veteran wideout that didn't play at all in 2024 due to health issues. Renfrow is unlikely to play in the team's preseason opener this week, but barring a setback with his hamstring, he has plenty of time to get ready for the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September. He has missed a week's worth of training camp practices, which isn't exactly helping his cause as he looks to win a roster spot going into the regular season. Renfrow is a slot specialist but could be behind both Adam Thielen and rookie Jimmy Horn Jr. at the position if he makes the active roster.

Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders continues to impress during training camp this year. Sanders has been the Panthers' offensive MVP thus far in camp, according to the Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye. Sanders "is catching passes in droves and is adding yards after the catch with regularity," Kaye wrote in his Stock Watch piece on Monday. Sanders, heading into his second NFL season, also looks leaner and more muscular this year after playing at 255 pounds as a rookie. The young tight end appears primed for a breakout in 2025 on an ascending Panthers offense, making him an interesting dart-throw as a late-round option in fantasy drafts later this summer.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young and rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan are "still working on their timing in the passing game," according to Joseph Person of The Athletic. Person writes that Carolina's defensive backs have consistently challenged McMillan with press coverage, and the rookie is still adjusting to the increased level of physicality. The number eight overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, McMillan recorded 84 catches for 1,319 yards and eight touchdowns in 12 games for the University of Arizona last season. He has the opportunity to step in and be the Panthers' number one target-earner right away. However, Carolina also has veteran Adam Thielen and 2024 first-rounder Xavier Legette in their receiver room. It's no surprise that McMillan and Young are still working on building chemistry this early in training camp, but it's something to monitor throughout the course of the preseason.

Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble continues to recover from back surgery and is able to do light jogging at practice, according to a video posted by ESPN's David Newton. Earlier in training camp, Tremble was placed on the active/PUP list, and Panthers GM Dan Morgan said that he could not put a timetable on when Tremble would be activated. Second-year tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders has been working with the first team offense while Tremble has been out, and he could get the advantage in playing time if Tremble continues to miss time. Last year, the two rotated at tight end with Sanders catching 33 passes for 342 yards and a touchdown and Tremble catching 23 passes for 234 yards and two scores. If you're looking for a sleeper tight end, Sanders will be an interesting name to watch if Tremble isn't ready to get back in action before Week 1.
