Sleepers on the Carolina Panthers

Jason Wood: McMillan's ADP puts him in the low-end WR3 category, but he has the best shot of the rookie crop to be a top-20 option this year. His traits fit well with what Dave Canales wants to do with the passing game, and he should be in line for 8+ targets per game, at a minimum.
Jeff Haseley: Several wide receivers could fit this category, but I believe the game plan will heavily involve their newfound #1 receiving weapon.
David Zacharias: His elite contested catch ability, first-round draft capital, and OC Brad Idzik's scheme fit give the starting X-receiver a solid chance to exceed his WR3 ADP.
