2. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (80.4)

McMillan caught eight passes for 130 yards in the Panthers' overtime win over the Falcons, both season highs. He was targeted 10 times in the contest and got into the endzone for the first time since Week 6, with two touchdown catches. His first score came late in the first quarter — a seven-yard catch with Jessie Bates III closing in coverage. The second came with a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, as he was able to uncover from a stumbling Kaden Ellis for a 12-yard grab on third down. That play gave the Panthers a one-point lead.

McMillan gained seven first downs on the day and forced two missed tackles. He recorded three explosive gains of 15-plus yards, including catches of 29 and 39 yards. He also generated a perfect passer rating when targeted

The top-10 pick now ranks sixth in receiving yards on the season (764) across 55 catches. He is also tied for sixth in targets (86) and tied for third among rookie receivers in touchdown catches (four). McMillan is up to 24 explosive gains, including 12 catches of 20-plus yards. He’s one of two rookie receivers to have recorded double-digit gains of 20-plus yards (Emeka Egbuka).

The Arizona product's 75.8 PFF receiving grade over his past three games ranks 13th among wide receivers. He has caught 17 of 24 targets for 236 yards and 13 first downs in that span. He also places in the top 10 in explosive gains (six), yards per route run (2.38) and receiving yards during that run.

 

13. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (74.3)

Evans recorded his first catch in three weeks, securing both of his targets for 28 yards in Week 11. Most of that production came in the third quarter when he was left alone in busted coverage for a 25-yard pickup. He allowed zero pressure on two pass-blocking snaps but was charged with four negative plays as a run blocker, leading to a 51.3 PFF run-blocking grade. Evans finished the contest with a 58.9 PFF overall grade.

The fifth-round pick has now caught each of his 11 targets for 118 yards, earning a 72.6 PFF receiving grade. He has surrendered one hurry across 12 pass-blocking snaps, while his PFF run-blocking grade has now slipped to 68.0. Evans still leads the Panthers' tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade and positive play rate (17.5%).

Well Tyler Warren didn't play so....

The rankings is through week 11 though.  Not week 11. 

PFF always outs itself as overall utter nonsense when you start putting their graded players beside other graded players.
