Chuba Hubbard Runs Well in Week 3 Win

In the Carolina Panthers' 30-0 victory against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3, running back Chuba Hubbard had a solid game on the ground but failed to find the end zone.

Time to Forget About Xavier Legette?

After a highly anticipated start to the season, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (hamstring) continues to struggle and heads into a bad matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3.

Tetairoa McMillan to Build on Week 1 Success in Week 2

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan led the Panthers with 68 receiving yards and five receptions on nine targets in their Week 1 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Ja'Tavion Sanders Talented but Lacking Opportunity

Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders failed to make an impact in the Panthers' Week 1 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite seeing only three targets, Sanders managed to haul in two for 27 yards. With Jalen Coker (quad) on the IR and Xavier Legette underperforming his high draft status, the Panthers would be wise […]

Ryan Fitzgerald Looking to Build on Week 1 Performance

Carolina Panthers undrafted rookie kicker Ryan Fitzgerald had a solid professional debut, going 1-for-1 on field goals and converting his lone extra point in the Panthers' Week 1 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 48-yard field goal proved his leg strength, and his successful preseason, where he beat out veteran kicker Matthew Wright, shows he […]

Panthers Defense Looking for Consistency in Week 2

Outside of the second quarter, the Carolina Panthers' defense didn't play terribly in their Week 1 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. They surrendered just nine points in the first, third, and fourth quarters, while giving up 17 in the second. Some of the damage can be attributed to the three turnovers by the Panthers' offense. […]

Xavier Legette Needs to Show Something in Week 2

Carolina Panthers second-year wide receiver Xavier Legette was on the field for 78% of the Panthers' offensive plays in their Week 1 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, he secured three of his seven targets for a disappointing 10 yards. This was another underwhelming performance for a player the Panthers drafted in 2024 to be […]

Rico Dowdle: Simply a Handcuff for Week 2

If Week 1's performance is any indication, Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle is nothing more than a handcuff for fantasy managers. The 1,000-yard rusher from last season with the Dallas Cowboys, Dowdle, touched the ball just five times in Week 1, while starter Chuba Hubbard had 19 touches. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect this dynamic […]

Chuba Hubbard Will Look to Get Going in Week 2

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard rushed for 57 yards on 16 carries and caught a 27-yard touchdown on three receptions against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1.

Ryan Fitzgerald Has a High Ceiling, Not on the Fantasy Radar for Week 1

After winning the job in the preseason, Carolina Panthers rookie kicker Ryan Fitzgerald has earned the Panthers' placekicker role.

In his final college season, he hit all five attempts from 50+ yards out, including a 59-yarder against Georgia […]

Hunter Renfrow Out of Retirement, Ready for Week 1

After being released by the Carolina Panthers and then re-signed, wide receiver Hunter Renfrow finds himself third on the team's depth chart. The veteran will look to make an impact against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. The 2021 Pro Bowler retired in 2024 due to ulcerative colitis, but the Panthers, desperate for wide receiver […]

Ja'Tavion Sanders a Wait and See Week 1

Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders is poised to claim a role in the team's passing game in 2025 and will look to make a splash against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. The second-year tight end showed flashes of potential as a rookie, outproducing starter Tommy Tremble with 342 receiving yards in 2024. His […]

Panthers Rebuilt D/ST a Question Mark for Week 1

In 2024, the Carolina Panthers' defense was the worst unit in the NFL. While their passing defense ranked 25th in the league, their run defense was particularly abysmal, ranking last by a significant margin and allowing an average of 179.8 rushing yards per game. To address these issues, the Panthers have completely overhauled their defense. […]

Xavier Legette on the Deep-League Radar with Favorable Matchup vs. Jaguars

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette underperformed as a rookie in 2024, posting a modest 49 catches for 497 yards. His role this season was in question until news that fellow wide receiver Jalen Coker (quadriceps) has been placed on injured reserve. Legette has been elevated to the WR2 role behind star rookie Tetairoa McMillan […]

Tetairoa McMillan Ready to Shine in Week 1 Against Jacksonville

With the eighth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers selected wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan.

His path to a significant role was cleared when fellow wide receiver […]

Rico Dowdle a Week 1 Stash

Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle, the third-year running back out of the University of South Carolina, will try to make an impact for his new team against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1.

Chuba Hubbard A Safe RB2 Play in Week 1

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is poised to build on a successful 2024 campaign in which he finished with 1,195 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns, along with 43 receptions for 171 yards and one score.
