Ja'Tavion Sanders Has Another Impressive Outing Against New Orleans

Carolina Panthers rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders set a career-high in Week 9 with 87 receiving yards on four receptions against the New Orleans Saints. Sanders again received the bulk of offensive snaps as veteran tight end Tommy Tremble (back) was inactive, missing his third game in the last four weeks. In Week 8, the […]

Chuba Hubbard Scores Two Touchdowns In Panthers Win

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard rushed for two touchdowns—including a game-winning 16-yard scamper—in Carolina's Week 9 victory over the New Orleans Saints. It was Hubbard's first game this season scoring multiple touchdowns. He added 72 yards and two receptions to go along with the scores. After a disappointing Week 8 outing at Denver, this […]

Bryce Young Leads Game-Winning Drive In Week 9

In his second consecutive start, Bryce Young led the Carolina Panthers to a 23-22 divisional win over the New Orleans Saints. It was Carolina's second win of the season. Young finished the day 16-for-26 with 171 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. The interception came from a drop by wide receiver Xavier Legette. En route […]

Panthers DST Not An Option In Week 9

Unfortunately, the Carolina Panthers defense will not have the luxury of facing a Saints offense led by backup Spencer Rattler or Jake Haener this weekend as Derek Carr (oblique) returns from a three-week oblique injury. For Carr, it is the ideal opponent as Carolina ranks 25th in passing yards allowed per game and last in […]

Eddy Pineiro Needs Field Goals To Be Fantasy Relevant In Week 9

Of NFL placekickers who have played in all eight weeks this year, Eddy Pineiro ranks last in field goals attempted (10). Even when adjusted for kickers who have had their bye weeks, only Nick Folk of the Tennessee Titans has attempted fewer field goals. The Carolina Panthers have not attempted a field goal in their […]

Ja'Tavion Sanders Looks To Bounce Back Against New Orleans

Following productive performances against Atlanta and Washington, Panthers rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders saw 36 percent of their offensive snaps against Denver and recorded just one reception for seven yards. Though with tight end Tommy Tremble (back) questionable after playing last week, Sanders could be in line to receive more snaps against the Saints. It […]

Jalen Coker Could Have Major Opportunity In Week 9

Carolina Panthers undrafted rookie wide receiver Jalen Coker recorded four receptions, 78 yards, and a touchdown in Week 8 against the Denver Broncos. Seeing an 18% increase in snaps and a career-high six targets, Coker took advantage of the opportunity and could be in a similar situation against New Orleans in Week 9. Wide receiver […]

Chuba Hubbard Remains Panthers RB1 Entering Week 9

With Carolina Panthers rookie running back Jonathan Brooks (knee) out and still not activated from his 21-day practice window, running back Chuba Hubbard remains the beneficiary of Carolina's rushing attack. Hubbard will face a weak New Orleans defense in Week 9, which ranks 28th against running backs and has allowed 100 or more rushing yards […]

Bryce Young Looks To Stack Days Against New Orleans

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young got the starting nod again this week as his team prepares to face a reeling New Orleans squad in Week 9. It will be a surefire Sunday morning doozy, as neither team won a game in October. For Young, the matchup provides more opportunity to prove he belongs in this […]

Xavier Legette Continues To Prove His Red Zone Talent

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette caught his third touchdown of the season in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Denver Broncos. Legette, a striking 6-foot-2, 227-pound figure, is proving to be a solid red-zone threat, with all three of his touchdowns coming inside the 10-yard line. Legette's game has shades of A.J. Brown, as […]

Jalen Coker Has Breakout Game Against The Broncos

Undrafted Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Jalen Coker recorded the best outing of his young career in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Denver Broncos. Coker, a Holy Cross product, hauled in four receptions for 78 yards and a touchdown—a 15-yard back shoulder catch in the game's waning seconds. With Adam Thielen (hamstring) and Diontae Johnson […]

Miles Sanders Sees Increased Usage Against Denver

For several weeks, Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders had been rendered insignificant in their offense, recording just four touches in three straight games. However, Sanders was Carolina's receptions leader in Sunday’s 28-14 loss to the Denver Broncos, catching all seven targets for 38 yards. Still, his lack of rushing opportunities remains discouraging, especially considering […]

Chuba Hubbard Has Disappointing Outing In Week 8

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard recorded his worst fantasy outing since Week 1 in the Panthers' 28-14 loss to the Denver Broncos. Hubbard finished the day with 15 carries for 56 yards and two receptions for 15 yards. He did not reach the end zone. While still the featured back in Carolina, Hubbard has […]

Bryce Young Shows More Confidence In Return Against Broncos

It had been five weeks since Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales announced the benching of second-year quarterback Bryce Young in favor of the veteran Andy Dalton (thumb). In Week 8, with his two top receivers Diontae Johnson (ribs) and Adam Thielen (hamstring) out, Young got another shot in a Sunday afternoon tilt against the […]

Eddy Pineiro Should Expect Another Quiet Day At Work In Week 8

There's not much to say about Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro this season. He's the least of Carolina's problems, maybe because they've hardly seen him. Pineiro has attempted just 10 field goals this year—making nine of them—and is 11-for-11 on PATs. While not a trustworthy fantasy option, but it will be interesting to see if […]

Ja'Tavion Sanders Doesn't Carry An Injury Designation Against Denver

Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (groin, wrist) doesn't carry an injury designation against the Denver Broncos in Week 8. He was dealing with a groin and wrist injury but fully practiced on Friday and is good to go for Sunday's game. Sanders has some momentum heading into their Week 8 matchup against Denver. The […]

Jonathan Mingo To See Increased Reps Against Broncos

With Carolina Panthers wide receivers Adam Thielen (hamstring) and Diontae Johnson (ribs) out in Week 8, sophomore wideout Jonathan Mingo is set to make his first start against the Denver Broncos. It's been a disappointing start to the career of Mingo, who was a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft. He has yet to […]

Panthers DST Still To Be Avoided In Week 8

The Carolina Panthers' organizational dysfunction should leave any manager wary of relying on Carolina players, never mind banking on two-thirds of their team. While the Denver Broncos' offense ranks bottom third of the league in scoring, yards per game, and giveaways, the Panthers' defense matches their skill. Carolina ranks dead last in opponent points per […]

Xavier Legette Has Major Opportunity, And Test, In Week 8

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette finds himself in unfamiliar territory against the Denver Broncos in Week 8. With receivers Adam Thielen (hamstring) and Diontae Johnson (ribs) ruled out, Legette should slide in as WR1 in Carolina's offense. Quarterback Bryce Young will also take the reigns from Andy Dalton (thumb), making his third start […]

Chuba Hubbard Looks To Remain Consistent Against Denver

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard aims to remain the team's lone offensive constant as they head to Denver in Week 8. While not a high bar, Hubbard has undoubtedly been the Panthers' MVP through seven games, accounting for 33% of their total touchdowns. Last week, he posted his lowest yardage total since Week 1—52 […]

Bryce Young To Re-Enter The Belly Of The Beast In Week 8

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is set to make his third start of the year with Andy Dalton (thumb) doubtful to play in Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. Young was benched following a Week 2 thrashing by the Los Angeles Chargers, where he threw for just 84 yards and an interception. Despite notable offensive […]

Ja'Tavion Sanders Impresses Against Commanders

Carolina Panthers rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders recorded a career-high six receptions for 61 yards in the team's 33-point loss (40-7) to the Washington Commanders. No other Panthers pass catcher had more than two catches. This comes on the heels of Sanders' five-reception, 49-yard performance in Week 6. The fourth-round pick is capitalizing on increased […]

Xavier Legette Struggles Against Commanders

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette had just two receptions for three yards and one carry for six yards in Sunday's 40-7 loss to the Washington Commanders. It was Legette's lowest receiving total of the year and his second game with fewer than 10 scrimmage yards. Carolina's passing game was in complete disarray, with […]

Diontae Johnson Has Disappointing Outing In Loss To Commanders

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (ribs, hamstring, ankle) was questionable for the Week 7 tilt against the Washington Commanders after not practicing most of the week. Johnson was active but only produced one catch for 17 yards in Sunday's 40-7 blowout loss. He was targeted three times despite entering the week as the third-most […]

Miles Sanders Registers Another Subdued Performance In Week 7

Carolina Panthers halfback Miles Sanders carried the ball three times for 34 yards—including a 26-yard rush—in the team's 40-7 blowout loss to the Washington Commanders. However, his only reception in the game went for -6 yards, reducing his scrimmage total to just 28 yards. It's the third straight week Sanders has registered exactly four touches, […]

Chuba Hubbard Lone Bright Spot In Panthers’ Blowout Loss To Commanders

Despite a 33-point loss to the Washington Commanders, Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard ground out a respectable performance, rushing 17 times for 52 yards and a touchdown. Hubbard accounted for the team's sole touchdown—a four-yard scamper that capped one of just two Carolina drives with multiple first downs. His 17 carries matched his usual […]

Panthers D/ST Should Be Avoided at All Costs Against Commanders

There should be no reason to have the Panthers' defensive/special teams unit in any lineup this week. Carolina is dead last in opponent points per game, 29th in opponent yards per game, and 18th in takeaways. In Week 7, they'll face the mighty Commanders offense, which ranks atop several offensive categories—second in points per game, […]

Eddy Pineiro Remains Low-End Option Against Commanders

At not much fault of his own, Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro has been a low-end fantasy producer this season. He's 9-of-10 on field goal attempts—missing a 45-yarder against Chicago—and a perfect 10-for-10 on extra point attempts. It's been a matter of the Panthers' offense, who rank 25th in yards per game, putting him in position […]

Ja'Tavion Sanders' Production In Limbo In Week 7

Carolina Panthers rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders is coming off his best performance of the year against the Atlanta Falcons, in which he recorded five receptions on seven targets for 49 yards. The fourth-round pick from Texas replaced veteran Tommy Tremble (concussion), who is questionable this week against Washington. Receiving-wise, Sanders outperformed any Tremble performance […]

Xavier Legette Should See More Targets Against Commanders

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette recorded his second-best game of the year last week against Atlanta in Week 6 he hauled in three of four targets and one touchdown. Still very much a touchdown-or-bust candidate, Legette remains a flex option against the Washington Commanders in Week 7. However, Panthers receiver Diontae Johnson (ankle, […]
