Huddle Up: Chark should have a role as a deep threat in Frank Reich's offense. His own volatility, the addition of Adam Thielen, and the pairing of an incoming rookie quarterback make Chark a boom/bust WR4 type in fantasy.

Huddle Up: The Panthers were in desperate need of wide receiver help, and especially with the team set to draft a new franchise quarterback in 2023. While Thielen isn't the same receiver he once was, he's a great option to have for a young signal-caller to throw to and he immediately becomes Carolina's best receiver in what is a depleted receiving corps. that no longer includes D.J. Moore. However, expect the Panthers to add more help and for Thielen to serve as the team's No. 2 option at best. For fantasy purposes, Thielen's production the past two years makes him a mid-tier flex option going into 2023, but he has the potential to return more value than that if he ends up emerging as the team's top target.

Huddle Up: Sanders likely will be the main running back for the Panthers but probably will have to share some snaps with Chuba Hubbard. He can be considered a No. 2 running back or flex option in most fantasy leagues next season.

Huddle Up: Carolina is an interesting landing spot for Hurst, as the Panthers have a huge pass-catching void to fill after sending D.J. Moore to the Chicago Bears a few days ago. With only Terrace Marshall and Shi Smith at wide receiver and Tommy Tremble the best they have at tight end, the Panthers could legitimately have somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 targets for Hurst if they don't lucky in the draft or in the second wave of free agency. Expect Hurst to push for fantasy TE1 production in 2023.

Huddle Up: Dalton is likely to be the bridge veteran to whichever rookie the Panthers select in the 2023 NFL draft. He's a low-end QB2 even if he staves off the incoming rookie.

Huddle Up: Thielen isn't a WR1 anymore at 32, but he can still be a productive WR2 in PPR formats in the right spot. Injuries will just remain a concern.

Huddle Up: Thielen is heading toward the end of his career and would likely be a WR3/4 type if signed by another team in free agency.

Huddle Up: Corral's first season ended before it began after suffering a Lisfranc injury that required surgery. As a result, the 2022 third-round pick is basically entering 2023 as a rookie and unknown commodity once again. It remains to be seen if the Panthers will commit to him at some point, but Carolina is likely to explore their options, both in free agency and the draft, leaving Corral's future up in the air. He should be rostered in dynasty formats but can be avoided in re-draft leagues for now.

Huddle Up: Sanders has been effective as a runner, but unless he lands with a team that will use him in an every-down role, his upside will be capped.

Huddle Up: Cutting Thielen would leave a $13.5 million dead-cap hit, so it's in the Vikings' best interest to get something done here. They have until March 15 when the veteran's $11.8 million base salary becomes fully guaranteed. At 32, Thielen isn't the top receiver he once was in 2017-18, making his 2023 salary a tough pill to swallow for Minnesota. He'll be a WR4 at best next season.

Huddle Up: Hurst was limited in practice on Thursday, but it appears as if he did enough Friday to get the go-ahead. With the Bengals relying more on the short passing game recently to protect their beat-up offensive line, Hurst has become Joe Burrrow's second-favorite target during the playoffs - ahead of Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd. It should come as no surprise if that pattern continues against Kansas City.

Huddle Up: Sanders has received at least 10 carries in all but one game this season and ranks in the top 10 in the NFL in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. He will see plenty of touches this week and should be a starting option in all leagues.

Huddle Up: Sanders' two limited sessions are actually an upgrade for him as compared to this point last week, and there has been nothing to suggest his status is in doubt. The Eagles running back is a borderline RB1 going into Week 18.

Huddle Up: Sanders has been on the injury report for a few weeks but probably will be able to play in the Week 18 game. He will see a good amount of touches if active and can be a No. 2 running back or flex option in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Sanders missed practice Wednesday, Dec. 28, and was a limited participant Thursday, Dec. 29, but was removed from the injury report altogether after logging a full practice session Friday, Dec. 30. He has set career highs in rushing yards (1,175) and rushing touchdowns (11) this season and can be viewed as a borderline RB1 option in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Hurst returns after a three-game absence. Prior to his injury, Hurst was a high-end TE2, thus he should be in lineups for Week 17.

Huddle Up: There was some concern about Sanders after he didn't take part in practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday, but the Eagles back put those fears to bed on Friday with a full session. Not only has Sanders posted a career-high 1,175 yards, but his 11 touchdowns are a far cry from last season, when he didn't find pay dirt once. Sanders is a borderline RB1 going into Week 17 and should be in lineups.

Huddle Up: Sanders should have a good chance to play this week after returning to practice Thursday. He will see a good amount of touches if active and can be a No. 2 running back or flex option in leagues.

Huddle Up: This was Hurst's first full practice since suffering the calf injury in Week 13, so he looks on track to return after a three-game absence. Hurst is on the higher end of the TE2 spectrum and should be in lineups.

Huddle Up: Fantasy players should monitor the situation to see if Sanders is in danger of missing the Week 17 game. He can be a No. 2 running back or flex option in fantasy leagues if he is active for the game.

Huddle Up: Cincinnati hosts the Bills on Monday night, so fantasy managers would be rolling the dice on waiting for Hurst in their championship games. It is likely managers have better options, however, as Buffalo is the only team not to allow a touchdown to a tight end this season.

Huddle Up: Hurst will miss his third game in a row due to the injury, and this likely means more targets for the WR trio against a tough Patriots defense.

Huddle Up: Thielen should see a handful of targets in the passing game and can be a No. 3 receiver or flex option in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Hurst doesn't have a high ceiling, but he typically provides a handful of grabs and around 50 receiving yards. If he suits up, he has low-end TE1 potential.

Huddle Up: Thielen has caught a touchdown in three of the last four games and has been targeted at least six times in three of those games. He will be involved in the passing game again this week and can be a No. 3 receiver or flex option in fantasy leagues.
