Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quadriceps) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 13, and is not on the injury report for Week 15.

Huddle Up: Coker probably will see a handful of targets this week and had some success in the passing game before the injury. He likely will be avoided in most leagues but could be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues.

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (rest) was upgraded to a full practice on Thursday, Dec. 12.

Huddle Up: Hubbard was a DNP on Wednesday but was given a rest designation, so he should be ready to roll in Week 15 against the Dallas Cowboys. With Jonathon Brooks (knee) back on the shelf, Hubbard should be locked into fantasy lineups for the remainder of the season as a low-end RB1.

Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quadriceps) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Dec. 11.

Huddle Up: Coker has missed the last few games because of the injury but seems to be on track to play in Week 15. He will see a handful of targets if he is active for the game but probably can be avoided in most leagues.

Huddle Up: It's just a rest day for Hubbard, who continues to carry a huge workload and lead the Panthers' backfield. In the midst of a career year, Hubbard is a borderline RB1 entering Week 15.

Jonathon Brooks - RB

Posted 12/09/2024 7:06 pm GMT

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks (knee) suffered a torn ACL, head coach Dave Canales said Monday, Dec. 9. It is the same ACL that Brooks tore during his final collegiate season.

Huddle Up: This was the worst-case scenario for Brooks, who appeared in three games after making his way back from his first torn ACL. The promising running back will now face a long recovery process that could put his 2025 season in doubt, considering how careful the Panthers will be. For now, Chuba Hubbard remains a strong RB1.

Xavier Legette - WR

Posted 12/08/2024 9:38 pm GMT

Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette posted two receptions for 39 yards on eight targets in Week 14 against the Philadelphia Eagles, including several dropped passes.

Huddle Up: The rookie struggled, and he could be hitting a little bit of a wall as we get into December. He remains useful for fantasy managers in deeper leagues as a WR4 or flex fantasy option. The Panthers host the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15.

Posted 12/08/2024 9:33 pm GMT

Carolina Panthers WR Adam Thielen registered game highs with nine receptions for 102 yards on 11 targets in Week 14 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Huddle Up: Thielen had OK production in Week 12 against the Kansas City Chiefs in his return from a two-month absence due to a hamstring injury, but he has had great production in the past two games with 17 catches, 201 yards, 21 targets and one touchdown. Treat him as a low-end WR1 in PPR leagues in Week 15 against the Dallas Cowboys, with slightly lesser appeal in standard play.

Posted 12/08/2024 9:17 pm GMT

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard ran 26 times for 92 yards and a touchdown in Week 14 against the Philadelphia Eagles, while adding four receptions for 15 yards on five targets.

Huddle Up: Hubbard bounced back from a stinker last week when he was limited to 43 rushing yards while losing a fumble in overtime against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He'll look to keep it going in Week 15 against the Dallas Cowboys. He remains a solid RB2 in most fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams.

Bryce Young - QB

Posted 12/08/2024 9:07 pm GMT

Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young completed 19-of-34 passes for 191 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 14 against the Philadelphia Eagles, and he ran seven times for 29 yards.

Huddle Up: Young has been playing a little better lately, making Carolina football competitive again. He has developed a nice rapport with veteran Adam Thielen, too. However, he still doesn't do enough to warrant using as anything more than a low-end QB2 in deeper leagues and those using two starting signal callers. The Panthers host the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15.

Carolina Panthers TE Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) is officially active for the Week 14 game.

Huddle Up: Sanders was productive before the injury and should see a handful of targets this week against the Philadelphia Eagles. He is a No. 2 tight end in fantasy leagues and likely can be avoided by most fantasy players.

Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quadriceps) has been declared inactive for the Week 14 game.

Huddle Up: Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette should be the main receivers for the Panthers this week and each likely will see a decent amount of targets during the game. Thelen can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues, while Legett could be a possible flex option in deeper leagues.

Carolina Panthers TE Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) is expected to play in the Week 14 game, according to head coach Dave Canales.

Huddle Up: Fantasy players can check the inactive list for Sanders' official status, but it seems like he will be on the field for Week 14. He should see a handful of targets if he is active for the game bur can be avoided in most leagues.

Posted 12/06/2024 5:58 pm GMT

Carolina Panthers TE Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) was a full participant at practice and is listed as questionable on the final Week 14 injury report.

Huddle Up: Sanders appears ready to return from a scary neck injury, but he doesn't have much fantasy value going up against a stout Philadelphia Eagles defense.

Posted 12/06/2024 5:54 pm GMT

Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quadriceps) did not practice and is listed as doubtful on the final Week 14 injury report.

Huddle Up: With Coker unlikely to play, Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette should command the majority of targets in the passing game in what could be a negative game script against the Philadelphia Eagles. Both Thielen and Legette can be viewed as WR3 options.

Posted 12/05/2024 7:28 pm GMT

Carolina Panthers TE Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) and WR Jalen Coker (quad) were limited in practice on Thursday, Dec. 5.

Huddle Up: It is a second straight limited session for Sanders but a downgrade for Coker. Neither player is a great option for Week 14 against the Philadelphia Eagles, although Sanders was starting to come on before suffering his scary neck injury in Week 12. Coker may be a flex consideration in deeper leagues during a week with six teams on bye, but there should be better options available.

Xavier Legette - WR

Posted 12/02/2024 4:11 am GMT

Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette ended up with four receptions for 53 yards on eight targets in Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Huddle Up: Legette has three or more receptions in five straight games, and exactly four catches in four of those outings. He is a decent low-end WR3 or flex fantasy option in PPR leagues of 12 or more teams, with lesser appeal in other formats. The Panthers travel to meet the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14.

Posted 12/02/2024 4:02 am GMT

Carolina Panthers WR Adam Thielen ended up with eight receptions for 99 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Huddle Up: Thielen had a season-high 99 yards, while scoring in two of the past three outings. He is worth scooping up as a WR3 or flex fantasy option in all PPR leagues of 12 or more teams, as Bryce Young and the Carolina offense is on the rise. The Panthers meet the Philadelphia Eagles on the road in Week 14.

Posted 12/02/2024 3:52 am GMT

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard rushed 12 times for just 43 yards in Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he was not targeted in the pass game while losing one fumble in overtime.

Huddle Up: It was tough finish for Hubbard, who has been the star of the Carolina offense more often than not. He'll definitely be looking to wash the bad taste out of his mouth in Week 14 in Philadelphia. He remains a solid RB2 or flex fantasy option in most leagues of 12 or more teams.

Bryce Young - QB

Posted 12/02/2024 3:36 am GMT

Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young completed 26-of-46 passes for 298 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while running three times for 17 yards and a touchdown.

Huddle Up: Young just missed his second career 300-yard game, coming 14 yards short of a career high set Dec. 24, 2023 against the Green Bay Packers. Since returning to the starting lineup, Carolina football has been fun again, with the offense looking functional. Perhaps he learned from Andy Dalton after Young was benched, and he still has the bright future that the organization hopes when it selected him No. 1 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. Still, he remains more of a low-end QB2 in most fantasy leagues, but his arrow is definitely pointing upward.

Posted 11/29/2024 6:08 pm GMT

Carolina Panthers TE Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Huddle Up: Sanders was hurt in Week 12 after landing on his head. Since the team has yet to place him on IR, it would suggest he has a chance to return before the end of the season. Although his future appears bright for dynasty purposes, managers in redraft leagues can probably move on from him. Like most tight ends, he will usually need to score a touchdown to be usable in fantasy, and he is unlikely to get many of those opportunities in the 2024 version of this offense.

Posted 11/29/2024 6:03 pm GMT

Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quadriceps) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Huddle Up: Coker suffered the injury late last week and has not practiced since. Since he was already a fringe fantasy option at best and there is no timeline for his return, he can be dropped in the few redraft leagues that managers were still hanging on to him.

Posted 11/29/2024 5:57 pm GMT

Carolina Panthers WR Adam Thielen (rest, hamstring) was limited in practice on Friday, Nov. 29, but no longer appears on the injury report for Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Huddle Up: Since Thielen appeared to come out of Week 12 unscathed, there was no concern about his ability to play this week given the unusual DNP-full-limited order of his practice schedule. With a game under his belt (38 snaps in Week 12), Thielen makes for a high-upside WR4/flex option against Tampa Bay's underwhelming secondary.

Carolina Panthers WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 28.

Huddle Up: Thielen is coming off a season-high 57 yards last week and seems to have a solid connection with Bryce Young. He should see a handful of targets this week and could be a possible flex option in deeper leagues.

Carolina Panthers TE Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 28.

Huddle Up: It appears like Sanders will miss at least one game after suffering the injury during the Week 12. He should be avoided in fantasy leagues until he is able to return to practice.

Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 28.

Huddle Up: Coker appears to be facing an uphill battle after missing the first two practices of the week. Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation to see if Coker improves but probably should look for other options to use.
