Carolina’s 2024 passing attack stumbled to 30th in yards per game, but the slate shifts with a big-body rookie target in Tetairoa McMillan and a potentially breakout TE in Ja’Tavion Sanders. Adam Thielen provided the lone steady production (615 yards, 5 TD) while Bryce Young navigated a thin pass-game corps. The Panthers’ 2025 plan leans on a healthier Young, a revamped receiving group, and an understated TE corps led by Sanders, with McMillan giving Young a red-zone threat and divisor of defensive coverages.

Sanders’ 33 receptions and 76.7% catch rate hint at a floor with upside as a reliable underneath option. McMillan’s size and draft pedigree offer a high-ceiling target, while Legette could become the clear WR2/3 depending on usage. Hubbard and Tremble provide complementary pieces behind Young, with Evans as a late-round upside lottery ticket at tight end. Fantasy managers should monitor depth and how 2025 OTAs reshape the Panthers’ aerial attack.
