Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (foot, ankle) will play in Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
| Footballguys view: After logging a full practice on Wednesday, McMillan shouldn't have any limitations this week. He's a mid-tier WR2 against Tampa Bay in a battle for the NFC South. |

Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (ankle, foot) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 18.
| Footballguys view: McMillan missed practice on Wednesday, but he's back to full on Thursday. That means he's good to go for the Week 16 matchup against the Buccaneers. In a game to control the NFC South, we like McMillan as a WR2/flex option. |
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (ankle, foot) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 17.
| Footballguys view: We'll see if McMillan can get a practice in on Thursday or Friday. Panthers HC Dave Canales said the rookie WR was "rolled up on" during a run play against the Saints in Week 15. Jalen Coker could do even more than his WR2/flex play if McMillan has to miss time. |

Carolina Panthers OG Robert Hunt (biceps) will not have his 21-day practice window opened this week, but head coach Dave Canales said the team hopes he will be able to play again before the end of the season.
Link to storyCarolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard will be used as more than just a third-down back moving forward, according to head coach Dave Canales. 'And especially because of how he's looked in the last couple of weeks, he's looked really strong, really powerful, and just making sure that he's a weapon for us in different ways.'
| Footballguys view: Hubbard and Rico Dowdle give the Panthers a great 1-2 punch at the running back position. They have a bye in Week 14, but Hubbard and Dowdle are both flex options when they return in Week 15 with their playoff hopes still alive. |

Carolina Panthers RB Rico Dowdle will be utilized heavily on early downs, but the Panthers intend to use both he and RB Chuba Hubbard in a balanced rushing attack, according to head coach Dave Canales. 'And for Rico, you know, giving him the lion's share of some of those first and second down, those early series and all that is a great way to just get him the ball.'
| Footballguys view: Dowdle did a fine job when Hubbard was banged up and out of action. Now that Hubbard has returned, the Panthers have found a way to keep both involved in the offense. Fantasy GMs can look at Dowdle as an RB3/flex when the Panthers return after their bye in Week 14. |

Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette had a single reception for one yard on two targets in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams.
Link to storyCarolina Panthers RB Trevor Etienne did not have a rushing attempt in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams, but he had a 4-yard reception on a single target, while recording 89 yards on four kick returns and a single 15-yard punt return.
Link to storyCarolina Panthers TE Mitchell Evans ended up with three receptions for 20 yards on three targets in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams.
Link to storyCarolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker posted four receptions for a team-best 74 yards and a touchdown on six targets in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams.
| Footballguys view: Coker burned Emmanuel Forbes for a long touchdown on a fourth down, and he also caught the third down and five pass that clinched the massive win for the suddenly legitimate contender for the NFC South title. Coker should be added on the waiver wire even though he is going into his bye because he put up these numbers despite Bryce Young only throwing the ball 20 times in the win. |
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan posted a single 43-yard touchdown reception on two targets in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams.
| Footballguys view: McMillan wasn't scoring much earlier in the season, but he has four scores in the last three games. His one catch was huge in the flow of the game, and McMillan doing this when he is otherwise taken out of the game is reassuring at lineup setting time. He's an upside WR2 after his Week 14 bye. |
Carolina Panthers RB Rico Dowdle rushed 18 times for 58 yards in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams, while adding a pair of receptions for 21 yards on two targets.
| Footballguys view: Dowdle wasn't a bust and you had to be happy to see him get 20 touches in a game where the Panthers scored 31 points, but his value is down after Chuba Hubbard reasserted himself as an RB1A in what is now a fullblown RBBC. At least the Panthers are playing well enough for Dowdle to still be a RB2/Flex option in the fantasy playoffs, but his value in fantasy leagues is going down. |

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard rushed 17 times for 83 yards in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams, while adding two receptions for 41 yards and a touchdown on two targets.
| Footballguys view: It appears Hubbard came back a little early from his calf injury and the player that we saw pale in comparison to Rico Dowdle is a memory. This is back to being a full blown RBBC, and Hubbard might be the better half of it after the bye. The Panthers are playing well enough for both players to matter during the fantasy playoffs. Hubbard is one of the biggest value gainers of Week 13. |

Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young completed 15-of-20 passes for 206 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams, while running five times for 23 yards.
| Footballguys view: Young was hyperefficient, and threw two of his three touchdowns on fourth down and short deep ball play calls. Young also found Jalen Coker on a 3rd and five to clinch the big win. He has been as up and down as any quarterback in fantasy football, but Young will go into the bye with confidence and two good targets with Coker coming on and Tetairoa McMillan playing like a #1. He's a viable QB2/Superflex against New Orleans and Tampa Bay after his Week 14 bye. |
