Carolina Panthers WR Jonathan Mingo (concussion) has been declared inactive for the Week 4 game.

Huddle Up: Mingo is recovering from a concussion, so he will miss at least one game. DJ Chark Jr. and Adam Thielen will be the main options in the passing game and both can be flex options in deeper leagues.

Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders (groin) is officially active for the Week 4 game.

Huddle Up: Sanders missed some practice time this week but should be able to handle his normal workload during the game. He can be at least a flex option in most fantasy leagues.

Carolina Panthers WR DJ Chark Jr. (hamstring) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 29, and is not on the injury report for Week 4.

Huddle Up: Chark was a big part of the passing game last week with Andy Dalton as the quarterback but should still see a decent amount of targets with Bryce Young returning to the lineup. He can be a flex option in deeper leagues this week.

Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 29, and is not on the injury report for Week 4.

Huddle Up: Young has recovered from his ankle injury and is ready to regain his starting job. He can be a possible starting option in two-quarterback leagues but can be avoided in all standard leagues.

Carolina Panthers WR Jonathan Mingo (concussion) was limited during practice Friday, Sept. 29, and is listed as questionable for Week 4.

Huddle Up: Mingo probably will be able to play if he passes his concussion tests, but fantasy players will know more closer to game time. He has receive a decent amount of targets but can be avoided in most leagues.

Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders (groin) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 29, and is listed as questionable for Week 4.

Huddle Up: It looks like Sanders will be a game-time decision, so fantasy players will need to check the inactive list for his official status. He can be at least a flex option if he is active for the game, but Chuba Hubbard will have fantasy value if Sanders sits out.

Carolina Panthers WR DJ Chark Jr. (hamstring) was limited during practice Thursday, Sept. 28.

Huddle Up: Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation, but it seems like Chark will be fine for the Week 4 game. He was targeted 11 times in the last game and should see a good amount of targets again this week. He could be a flex option in deeper leagues.

Adam Thielen - WR

Posted 9/28/2023 8:13 pm GMT

Carolina Panthers WR Adam Thielen (non-injury) did not participate in practice Thursday, Sept. 28.

Huddle Up: Thielen should return for the last practice of the week and will see his normal workload in Week 4. He is coming off an outstanding Week 3 performance and has a touchdown in each of the last two games. He can be at least a flex option in most leagues.

Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) told reporters he felt "great" following practice on Thursday, Sept. 28, and is trending toward a return to the field in Week 4, according to head coach Frank Reich.

Huddle Up: Andy Dalton took advantage of what has been a surprisingly soft Seattle Seahawks secondary in Week 3 but will head back to the bench in favor of Young, who averaged 149.5 yards passing and one touchdown in his first two career NFL starts. This year's No. 1 overall pick could not ask for a much better matchup in Week 4, as the Minnesota Vikings have yielded at least two total touchdowns to each of the three quarterbacks they have faced so far. Consider Young a middling QB2 option this week.

Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Sept. 27.

Huddle Up: Young seems to be on track to play in the Week 4 game, but fantasy players should check on his status later in the week to see if anything changes. He can be a possible option in two-quarterback leagues but can be avoided in standard leagues.

Posted 9/27/2023 7:30 pm GMT

Carolina Panthers WR Jonathan Mingo (concussion) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 27.

Huddle Up: Mingo will need to pass the concussion tests before he is cleared to play, so fantasy players can monitor the situation. He has been targeted 19 times in the first three games but has only 64 yards in those games. He can be avoided in fantasy leagues even if he is active.

Posted 9/27/2023 7:27 pm GMT

Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders (groin) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 27.

Huddle Up: Sanders probably is receiving some time off during practice this week and should be available for the Week 4 game. He has been involved in both the running and passing game in the first three games and can be a flex option in most fantasy leagues.

Posted 9/27/2023 7:22 pm GMT

Carolina Panthers WR DJ Chark Jr. (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 27.

Huddle Up: Chark was able to find the end zone last week and was targeted 11 times during the game. He should see a good amount of targets again this week and can be a flex option in fantasy leagues.

Carolina Panthers WR Jonathan Mingo (concussion) caught three of his six targets for 21 yards in Week 3 versus the Seattle Seahawks before leaving the game with a concussion.

SOURCE: ESPN.com

Huddle Up: The good news for fantasy managers is that Mingo is averaging over six targets through three games. The bad news is just about every catch he makes is near the line of scrimmage (only one of his eight receptions has been for more than nine yards), so he is averaging only eight yards per catch. Things should get better for the highly athletic rookie down the road, but he will first have to pass the league's concussion protocol before he has a shot to play in Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Andy Dalton - QB

Posted 9/25/2023 1:22 am GMT

Carolina Panthers QB Andy Dalton completed 34 of his 58 pass attempts for 361 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 11 yards in a 37-27 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3.

SOURCE: ESPN.com

Huddle Up: With Bryce Young's status for Week 4 up in the air, Dalton could be a streaming option for fantasy owners looking for a QB2.

Posted 9/22/2023 8:20 pm GMT

Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 22, and has been ruled out for Week 3.

Huddle Up: Andy Dalton is in line to start for the Panthers in Week 3 but should only be considered a possible option in two-quarterback leagues.

Posted 9/22/2023 4:46 pm GMT

Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders (pectoral) was a full participant at practice and was taken off the final Week 3 injury report Friday, Sept. 22.

Huddle Up: Sanders has been a middling option to begin the season, but he has a fantastic matchup waiting for him with the Seattle Seahawks. Consider Sanders a solid RB2 option this week.

Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) is not expected to play in the Week 3 game because of his injury.

Huddle Up: Andy Dalton is on track to start for the Panthers with Young dealing with the injury. Dalton has had some success in the past but should only be considered a possible starting option in two-quarterback leagues.

Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) is not practicing Thursday, Sept. 21.

Huddle Up: Young has yet to practice this week and isn't an option outside of two-QB leagues. Managers leaning on Young should have a pivot option ready in case he doesn't play in Week 3.

Posted 9/20/2023 5:10 pm GMT

Carolina Panthers RB Miles Sanders (pectoral) was limited in practice on Wednesday, Sept. 20.

Huddle Up: This is a new issue for Sanders, who makes his first appearance on the injury report in 2023. A limited session this early in the week is a good sign he'll suit up, but the situation bears monitoring over the next few days. The Panthers back is a volume-based flex option in Carolina's listless offense after tallying 145 scoreless scrimmage yards on 39 touches over two games.

Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) is out of practice Wednesday, Sept. 20.

Huddle Up: He had his ankle stepped on in Week 2, and it doesn't seem major. He shouldn't be in lineups outside of two-QB leagues at this time.
