Panthers QB Andy Dalton (thumb) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice but will back up QB Bryce Young vs. the Saints this weekend, HC Dave Canales announced. “We’ll take all the information from this week, and then go forward and make the next best decision for the team," Canales said of the QB situation. It sounds like a week-to-week decision at this point. Young played one of his better games as a pro in the Week 8 loss to the Broncos -- but that, of course, isn't saying much. He completed 65% of his passes at 6.1 yards per attempt with two TDs and two INTs. Young is still an avoid in all fantasy formats.
Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks (knee) put in a full practice on Wednesday for the first time since coming off the PUP list. He's seemingly getting close to his 2024 debut, which could come against the Saints this weekend. We'll let you know if and when Carolina elevates him to the active roster, but Brooks won't be a viable fantasy play in his first game.
Panthers TE Tommy Tremble (back) is active for today’s game vs. the Broncos. He’s not a fantasy option but adds risk to TE Ja’Tavion Sanders’ Week 8 fantasy profile. Try to avoid this situation, especially with QB Bryce Young back under center.
Panthers QB Andy Dalton (thumb) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Broncos. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said this morning that the thumb injury could also cost Dalton Week 9. QB Bryce Young starts today in an impossible spot against a strong Denver defense and without WRs Diontae Johnson and Adam Thielen.
Panthers TE Tommy Tremble (back) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Broncos. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice, so he figures to play. Tremble played ahead of TE Ja’Tavion Sanders in his last two healthy outings (Weeks 3 and 4). There’s plenty of opportunity available in Carolina’s passing game this weekend with WRs Diontae Johnson and Adam Thielen out. But we’d try to avoid the situation in Week 8 fantasy lineups.
Panthers QB Andy Dalton (thumb) missed practice all week and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. QB Bryce Young is fully expected to start that one. It's an impossible spot against a strong Denver defense and WRs Diontae Johnson and Adam Thielen out.
Panthers QB Bryce Young will start this weekend's game vs. the Broncos, HC Dave Canales announced on Wednesday. QB Andy Dalton sprained a thumb in a car accident earlier this week. He'll be evaluated "day to day," Canales said, and might be available as Young's backup on Sunday.
Panthers WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) has been designated to return from IR and will practice on Wednesday. He's been out since injuring his hamstring at the end of the first half of Week 3. Thielen was a full-time player before going down but totaled just 12 targets across his 2.5 games. We'll see how Carolina divvies up playing time between Thielen and rookie WR Xavier Legette behind lead WR Diontae Johnson, but Thielen won't be much of a fantasy option in this struggling passing game.
Panthers TE Tommy Tremble (concussion, back) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Commanders. That should mean a significant role for TE Ja’Tavion Sanders, who caught five of seven targets for 49 yards with Tremble out last week.
Panthers TE Tommy Tremble (concussion, back) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Commanders. It looks like he cleared concussion protocol but missed Friday’s practice with a back issue. Tremble shouldn’t be in your Week 7 fantasy plans, but his absence would turn TE Ja’Tavion Sanders into a viable flier. The rookie caught five of seven targets for 49 yards with Tremble out last week.
The Panthers are opening the three-week practice window for rookie RB Jonathon Brooks. That gives the team 21 days to either return him to the active roster or shut him down for the season. We're betting on the former. Brooks' IR designation served to let him continue working back from the ACL tear that ended his college career. And we haven't heard about any setbacks in his process.
Panthers WR Xavier Legette (shoulder) put in a full week of practice and isn't listed on the final injury report for Sunday's game vs. the Falcons. The rookie should be ready for a full slate of snaps. He's a viable WR4 or Flex play against Atlanta's 28th-ranked WR defense.
Panthers WR Xavier Legette (shoulder) was a full-go in Wednesday's practice. He was knocked out early in last weekend's game but is on track to play vs. the Falcons this weekend. Legette should step back in as Carolina's No. 2 WR and is a WR4 consideration for fantasy squads.
Panthers HC Dave Canales labeled WR Xavier Legette "day-to-day" with the shoulder injury that knocked him out of Sunday's loss to the Bears. Legette spoke to the media after the game and said that he expects to be ready for this weekend's game vs. the Falcons. We'll track the rookie's status throughout the week.
Panthers WR Xavier Legette injured his shoulder in the second half of Sunday's game vs. the Bears. He's officially questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more.
Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks (knee) will not return to practice this week, HC Dave Canales said Monday. Once Brooks starts practicing, the team will have three weeks to place him on the active roster or season-ending IR. Canales added that Brooks is in the "final stages" of his recovery from last year's torn ACL. We're still expecting the rookie to make his debut sometime in October, although it'll likely be November before we can trust him in fantasy lineups. Chuba Hubbard will continue to be a RB2 in the meantime.
Panthers HC Dave Canales said Monday the team expects LB Josey Jewell to miss at least one game after leaving Sunday's contest with groin and hamstring injuries.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Panthers LB Shaq Thompson suffered a torn Achilles' tendon in Sunday's loss to the Bengals and will miss the rest of the season.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard was the lead back again for the Panthers, running the ball 18 times for 104 yards and a TD. He also caught all four of his targets for 17 yards.
Panthers WR Adam Thielen suffered a hamstring injury during the Panthers' win against the Raiders. The team is placing him on injured reserve, meaning Thielen will miss at least the next four games, eligible to return for Week 8's contest against the Denver Broncos.
