ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo has seen 19 targets over the last two games and appears to be getting more involved every week. The rookie receiver has played in at least 85% of the snaps in all but one game this year, but the limitations of the Panthers' offense heavily impact Mingo.
Mingo is trending up as of late. Since Week 10, Mingo has had 38 targets. That amounts to 7.6 targets per game, which would equate to 129 targets over 17 games. The production hasn't been there, but isn't entirely Mingo's fault. He's only caught 16 of those 38 targets, which continues to hold back his fantasy value.
The entire Panthers offense is putrid. Bryce Young is having a very rough season. Head coach Frank Reich has already been fired. If you're in a deep league, Mingo is worth a look. He's playing virtually 100% of the snaps, has a route participation rate close to 100%, and is consistently earning six or more targets. The volume, snaps, and routes are all there.
