McMillan should have reached the century mark, but a long connection with Bryce Young was erased by an abhorrent offensive pass interference call. The wideout did bring in a 40-yard pass that set up a touchdown from Young, and he was the best offensive player on the field for Carolina. McMillan has unreal upside and showed out at times in 2025, and very well could be a WR1 in 2026. His season will be over, however, if the Saints beat the Falcons on Sunday.04 January 2026
Coker perfectly timed a leaping catch for a touchdown to get the Panthers to within a score with just over two minutes left in the game. The second-year wideout ended the year with three touchdowns, but all three came in the final five games for those looking for positives. Coker should be more involved in 2026 if healthy — he didn’t play until October 19 — and offers some upside for the coming seasons. His chance to play in the playoffs in 2025 will be determined by whether the Falcons be ...

Tremble caught a touchdown pass early from Bryce Young to get the Panthers within a score at 10-7. The former Notre Dame tight end finished with just two touchdowns in 2025, and remains much more effective as a blocker than as a receiver. That should be true next season as well, but he could get a playoff game next week if the Falcons beat the Saints.04 January 2026
One of the catches was a 20-yard connection. Tremayne finished with just 14 catches for 143 yards in his first season with the Panthers. It’s hard to see fantasy relevance going forward, but he might be an option for Carolina in the playoffs if the Falcons beat the Saints. If not, he’ll compete for a roster spot this summer.04 January 2026
Legette did not build on a disappointing rookie season — at least statistically — as he finished with just 34 catches for 363 yards despite playing in 16 games. You can’t completely give up on him as a dynasty option, but there hasn’t been much to suggest he’s on the right track. There’s still a chance he could play in the postseason, however, if the Falcons beat the Saints.04 January 2026
Horn was an undrafted free agent from Prime University aka Colorado, and the 23-year-old did see more involvement in the offense than anticipated. Not enough to make him relevant in fantasy formats, but enough to suggest he could be a part of the offense in 2026. Horn will compete for slot reps with the Panthers this summer, but will hope the Falcons beat the Saints so they can play at least one postseason game next week.04 January 2026
Hubbard and the Panthers’ were unable to get anything going on the ground, with he and Rico Dowdle combining for a total of 20 yards in the contest. The 26-year-old finished with just over 500 yards on the season, and was clearly usurped by Rico Dowdle in the regular season. That likely will remain the case if the Panthers advance to the postseason, and they’ll need a win from the Falcons over the Saints to reach that level.04 January 2026
Irving didn’t find a ton of running room against Carolina with a long gain of just nine, but he did enough to keep the chains moving in a game where the Buccaneers ran the football 42 times against 22 passes. It’s a typical effort for Irving this year, as he just hasn’t been able to break off the big gains after his impressive rookie campaign. Irving is a good bounceback candidate for 2026, and could play a playoff game next week if the Saints beat the Falcons.04 January 2026
White was the clear second option behind Bucky Irving on Saturday, with Irving rushing 26 times as Tampa Bay pounded the rock in rainy conditions. White ended up being the more efficient runner in the regular season for Tampa Bay, but that speaks more to Irving’s injuries and struggles when on the field than anything White did. He’ll be a backup somewhere in 2026, but if the Saints beat the Falcons, he’ll be Irving’s backup in a playoff game next week.04 January 2026
Mayfield threw one atrocious interception that led to a Panthers’ touchdown, but outside of that avoided mistakes. The 30-year-old signal-caller’s touchdown pass came to Cade Otton with Otton being the top receiving option for Tampa Bay in the must-win game. Mayfield will need a Saints’ win over the Falcons to move on to the postseason, but he did enough to keep the Bucs alive for at least one more day.04 January 2026
Young’s statline is solid — and a vast improvement over his disastrous game against the Seahawks the week prior — and doesn’t include a beautiful connection with Teretoria McMillan that was whiped out due to a terrible pass interference call. There were some misses, however, and the offense struggled in the rainy conditions in a game where a win would have clinched the NFC South. Now Young will need the Falcons to beat the Saints in order to advance to the postseason. There have been goo ...04 January 2026
Dowdle was able to earn a million dollar signing bonus for hitting 1,350 total yards. End of positives for Saturday, as the Panthers were held to 19 total rushing yards in in the sloppy Tampa Bay conditions. Dowdle’s overall season is an unquestioned success that saw him become a major weapon for the Carolina attack, but the Panthers now need the Falcons to beat the Saints in order to advance to the postseason.04 January 2026
