Panthers’ TE defense has been improving, but Pitts’ involvement could create a favorable matchup if Atlanta leans on him. A lower-floor week remains possible if Carolina clamps down on tight ends.

Dalton has a long track record as a steady bridge quarterback. In Carolina, his experience could translate to a reliable Week 3 option in single-QB leagues, especially if the offense relies on short, high-percentage throws and a balanced attack.

Legette has flashed little production (8 yards on 15 targets across two weeks) and sits behind Tetairoa McMillan, Hunter Renfrow, and Ja'Tavion Sanders. He’s a clear cut candidate in most formats as Carolina’s target share tightens behind more efficient options.

McMillan has emerged as the Panthers’ most-targeted rookie WR, delivering a 100-yard game on 11 receptions and multiple 20+ yard plays. He’s built a strong target share and YAC profile, signaling a rising fantasy ceiling in Carolina’s aerial offense.

McMillan’s 100-yard breakout elevates Carolina’s pass-game potential and target share, positioning the Panthers for upside at the wide receiver position.
