The status of Tetairoa McMillan, the rookie wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers, is a point of interest for fans as he is listed as questionable for today”s game against the New Orleans Saints. McMillan sustained a hamstring injury during practice this week, which led to his late addition to the injury report.
Head coach Dave Canales confirmed that the injury occurred during practice, resulting in McMillan being limited in his participation. Despite the late-week adjustment to his injury status, there seems to be optimistic news regarding his availability for the game.
According to NFL Network”s Ian Rapoport, McMillan is expected to take the field against the Saints. He reported, “Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan, who popped up on the injury report this week with a hamstring, is expected to play on Sunday, source said.”
For fantasy football enthusiasts, McMillan currently ranks as WR35 in terms of fantasy points per game, making him a viable flex option each week. The Panthers are set to face a Saints defense that has allowed the 14th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers, indicating a matchup that could be advantageous for McMillan.
With several teams on bye this week, starting McMillan could be a prudent choice for fantasy managers in need of a reliable flex player. Overall, he is considered a solid play in Week 10.
Stay tuned for further updates on injuries and fantasy advice as the games progress.
