Carolina Panthers 2026 Fantasy Outlook: Tetairoa McMillan, Bryce Young & a New Play-Caller
Description
Mike Vadala and Cam White read the Carolina Panthers' 2026 offseason tea leaves and break down what it all means for your fantasy football drafts.
The crew leans into continuity: a fourth year of this offense for QB Bryce Young, now with OC Brad Idzik taking over play-calling and promising a more pass-heavy, Shanahan-flavored attack. They build around WR1 Tetairoa McMillan coming off an award-winning rookie season, the Darren Waller comeback and his big-slot TE1 upside, the Chuba Hubbard and Jonathon Brooks backfield after Rico Dowdle's exit to Pittsburgh, and where Jalen Coker fits after his extension.
Topics covered in this episode: Tetairoa McMillan as the WR1, Bryce Young's outlook, Brad Idzik's new offense, the Darren Waller signing, the Hubbard and Brooks backfield, and Panthers redraft and dynasty buys for 2026. Plus, the crew bets on a Rico Dowdle Week 16 revenge game.
