Sleepers on the Carolina Panthers
- WR Jalen Coker - 3 votes
- WR Tetairoa McMillan - 3 votes
- RB Trevor Etienne - 2 votes
- WR Adam Thielen - 2 votes
- RB Rico Dowdle - 2 votes
- QB Bryce Young - 1 vote

Reasons WR Jalen Coker Could Be a Sleeper
- Ben Cummins: He's a solid athlete who posted impressive jumps of a 42.5” vertical and 10'08” broad. It won't be a surprise to see him overtake Xavier Legette this year.
- Mauricio Gutierrez: In four games last season where he saw at least 6 targets, he averaged 15 fantasy points per game. He'll need to climb the depth chart to see that kind of volume.
- Craig Lakins: He proved to be an adept target earner last season with five games of at least five targets in a limited role. Can he overtake an aging Adam Thielen in the primary slot role?
