Panthers | Jonathon Brooks undergoes surgery Sun Jan 19, 04:33 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks (knee) underwent surgery last week to repair his anterior cruciate ligament injury. He is expected to miss the entire 2025 season.
| Footballguys view: There's a real chance we don't see Brooks play next season. Chuba Hubbard's ADP is probably too low. |
Panthers | Xavier Legette struggled with drops Fri Jan 10, 10:50 AM
Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette had eight drops during his rookie season.
| Footballguys view: Legette had an inconsistent rookie season in 2024. He's a deep ball target, and he can go up and snare contested catches. However, his route-running and concentration need to improve for him to move up the fantasy ranks. This past year, he's mostly been a 'what the heck' flex option. |

Panthers | Jalen Coker targeted seven times Sun Jan 5, 06:18 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker absorbed all seven of his targets for 62 yards in Week 18 against the Atlanta Falcons, and he also completed a pass for 19 yards.
| Footballguys view: Coker has been working his way up to a full-time role and showed a lot of promise as a developmental receiver for the Panthers. Look for him to push to start next season. He shouldn't be on the waiver wire in any dynasty league. |
Panthers | Five touches for Mike Boone Sun Jan 5, 06:17 PM

Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders rushed 17 times for 66 yards and a touchdown in Week 18 against the Atlanta Falcons, while adding three receptions for 50 yards and a score on four targets.
| Footballguys view: Sanders will almost certainly be released with a $5.5 million price tag next season. He got a chance to return from injury and show the rest of the NFL what he can provide as backfield depth after Chuba Hubbard left him in the dust even though the Panthers seemed to think more of Sanders when they signed him to a four-year, $25 million deal last year. |

Panthers | Bryce Young finishes up strong Sun Jan 5, 05:57 PM
Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young completed 25-of-34 passes for 251 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 18 against the Atlanta Falcons, while running five times for 24 yards and two touchdowns.
| Footballguys view: Young ended two teams playoff hopes in overtime this season in a good sign for the direction of his development. He's meshing with Dave Canales scheme and should have a lot more confidence to begin the season than he did this year. |

Panthers | Miles Sanders activated Sat Jan 4, 04:42 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders (ankle) was activated off injured reserve on Saturday, Jan. 4.
| Footballguys view: Sanders has been shut down since sustaining this injury in Week 10. He returns for the season finale, and Sanders could get a large workload. Without Chuba Hubbard, the Panthers were not able to do much on the ground last week with Raheem Blackshear and Mike Boone. Sanders might be the lead back, but his workload will depend on how that ankle is feeling in his first week back. |

Panthers | Questionable tag for Miles Sanders Fri Jan 3, 03:02 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 3, but is listed as questionable for Week 18.
| Footballguys view: Sanders was activated from injured reserve after the Panthers running game couldn't get out of the driveway last week. It's the last week of the season, so the only logical explanation here was that the Panthers wanted Sanders' help in the season finale. He's a desperation play against an Atlanta team that is still alive in the playoff race, but needs a Tampa loss to New Orleans, so good luck with that. |

Panthers | Miles Sanders designated to return Wed Jan 1, 01:16 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve on Wednesday, Jan. 1.
| Footballguys view: Sanders has not played since Week 10, but he could be in line for a larger role in Week 18 if he plays. Without Chuba Hubbard, the Panthers struggled to run the ball with guys like Mike Boone and Raheem Blackshear. That could be Sanders who gets a larger role this week. Stay tuned. |

Panthers | Miles Sanders cleared to play Tue Dec 31, 01:01 AM
Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders (ankle) received medical clearance to play last week, according to head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: Sanders was placed on IR on Nov. 23 with an ankle injury suffered in Germany. The Panthers have used seven of their eight allowed return from IR designations, so with the team short on backs, it makes sense. With Chuba Hubbard shut down last week and Jonathon Brooks' season also over, the Panthers were down to Raheem Blackshear and Mike Boone on Sunday, and they were held to a season-low 39 yards on the ground. Sanders has 38 carries for 139 yards in 10 games, with fewer opportunities, while Hubbard was in the midst of a 1,195-yard, 10-touchdown season. |

Panthers | No surgery for Chuba Hubbard Tue Dec 31, 01:00 AM
Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (calf) will not need to undergo surgery on his injured calf this offseason, according to head coach Dave Canales.
| Footballguys view: Hubbard finished his season with 1,195 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns on 250 carries, with an additional 171 yards and one touchdown on 43 receptions. As CBSSports.com notes, since Hubbard won't need surgery on either the calf or the knee, he's likely to be ready to play by the start of the 2025 campaign, something that can't be said for teammate Jonathon Brooks, who tore the same ACL in December that he tore the year before. Expect Hubbard to serve as Carolina's top backfield option in 2025 after signing a four-year contract extension this November. |

Carolina Panthers WR Adam Thielen caught five passes for 110 yards and two touchdowns against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. He was targeted six times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Thielen has been doing amazing things for a 34-year-old this year, and is part of the Bryce Young redemption story. He has had considerable fantasy value since Young rebounded and Diontae Johnson was sent packing. He's not guaranteed any money next year, but Thielen is only due a reasonable $4 million base salary with $2.5 million in roster and per game bonuses. |
