Jauan Jennings News
Friday, August 28, 10:46 AM
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings still looks set to open the season as part of the team's top receiving trio, but his redraft outlook has taken a small hit as Tai Felton has pushed for more work. Jennings signed a one-year deal with Minnesota in May after catching 55 passes for 643 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns in 15 games for San Francisco last season. The Vikings continue to list Jennings as a starter alongside Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, and their own coverage referred to those three as the team's top trio after Felton's 50-yard catch against Baltimore. Felton's strong summer is still worth noting. The second-year receiver played extensively with the first-team offense in the preseason opener and followed it with three catches for 66 yards against Baltimore. Jennings was already facing a crowded target tree with Jefferson, Addison, and T.J. Hockenson, so another receiver earning snaps lowers his weekly ceiling. RotoBaller currently has Jennings around WR59. He remains a reasonable late-round depth option, but the path to dependable volume looks narrower than it did when camp opened.

Tetairoa McMillan News
Saturday, September 5, 7:41 AM
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan could see more usage out of the slot in 2026, speculates ESPN's Mike Kaye. McMillan was used almost exclusively as an outside receiver as a rookie in 2025 and had plenty of success, recording 70 catches for 1,014 yards and seven touchdowns on 122 targets across 17 games. However, Kaye writes that the Panthers have spoken about wanting to use McMillan's size and strength to get him more targets in the middle of the field in his second season. McMillan already projects to be the dominant target-earner in Carolina's offense, as he finished with nearly 60 more targets than any other Panthers pass-catcher in 2025. If he does indeed see more slot usage and an even larger target share in 2026, McMillan could emerge as a fantasy WR1.
