Carolina Panthers

The market has Jonathon Brooks correctly valued at an ADP of 87, compared to an overall ECR of 113. Projected to carry the ball 12.2 times and catch 1.8 passes per game, Brooks will see the ball enough to be relevant in most leagues. He leads Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders on the Panthers' depth chart. Carolina has the 15th-best running back schedule.

As the consensus #135 overall player, Chuba Hubbard is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 151. At a projected workload of 7.6 carries and 1.6 receptions per game, Hubbard won't be reliable in fantasy. He's second among Panthers running backs, behind Jonathon Brooks. Carolina has the 15th-best schedule for running backs.

Tommy Tremble is projected to catch only 24.1 receptions for 226 yards and 3.5 touchdowns. As our #59 TE, Tremble is not worth drafting. Tremble is not Carolina's top tight end with Ja'Tavion Sanders around.

At QB28, Bryce Young isn't worth owning in 1QB leagues. Dispite his low rank, his role as the starting QB for the Panthers means he should be owned in 2QB leagues.Young is projected to earn 30.3 of his 223 fantasy points by rushing. While that's a nice bonus, it's not a major source of his fantasy value. Projected for a 1.7 touchdown-to-interception ratio, Young comes with some significant interception risk each week.

Miles Sanders is a fair value at his ADP of 221 as the consensus #207 overall player. With 6.4 projected rushes and 1.4 projected catches per games, Sanders has limited potential. He has some competition on the Panthers' depth chart, where he trails both Jonathon Brooks and Chuba Hubbard. Carolina has the 15th-best schedule for running backs.

With 0.8 projected rushes and 0.1 projected catches per games, Rashaad Penny is not fantasy-relevant. He has some competition on Carolina's depth chart, where he trails both Jonathon Brooks and Chuba Hubbard.

Diontae Johnson is a fair value at his ADP of 82 as the consensus #81 overall player. Johnson is the #1 receiver on the Panthers, with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette behind him. Ranked #38 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he will be serviceable most weeks. Johnson is projected for 868 yards and 7.0 TDs on 66.6 receptions, for 28.3% of the total for Panthers WRs. The Panthers have the 8th-best schedule for wide receivers.

Adam Thielen is the #2 wide receiver on the Panthers, behind Diontae Johnson. At #65 in our WR rankings, he won't usually be a fantasy starter. He's projected for 702 yards and 4.8 TDs on 70.9 receptions, which is 30.2% of the total for WRs on the Panthers. Carolina has the 8th-best schedule for wide receivers. Thielen is worth drafting at his ADP of 153 as the consensus #164 overall player.

As the consensus #186 overall player, Xavier Legette is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 166. Legette is the #3 wide receiver on the Panthers, behind Diontae Johnson and Adam Thielen. As the consensus #72 WR, he will ride the fantasy bench most weeks. Legette is projected to catch 47.8 receptions for 650 yards and 3.3 TDs, which is 20.3% of the total for Panthers WRs. The Panthers have the 8th-best wide receiver schedule.

Jonathan Mingo might see limited usage as the 4th-ranked WR on the Panthers. Ranked #91 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's probably best left for the waiver wire. He's projected for 413 yards and 1.7 TDs on 35.9 receptions, for 15.3% of the total for Panthers WRs. The Panthers have the 8th-best schedule for WRs. As the consensus #251 overall player, Mingo is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 263.

Terrace Marshall Jr. is the WR5 on the Panthers. As the consensus #162 WR, he's not really fantasy-relevant. He's projected to catch 0 receptions for 0 yards and 0 TDs, which is 0% of the total for WRs on the Panthers. Carolina has the 8th-best wide receiver schedule.

Ja'tavion Sanders is projected for 222 yards and 1.6 TDs on 23.1 receptions. At rank 32 among tight ends, Sanders is not fantasy-relevant. As the consensus #262 overall player, Sanders is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 228. Carolina has the 2nd-best schedule for TEs.

Laviska Shenault Jr. is the #3 wide receiver on the Panthers, trailing DJ Moore and Robbie Anderson. As the consensus #89 WR, he's not a real fantasy asset. He's projected to catch 35.5 receptions for 367 yards and 2.2 TDs, which is 15.2% of the workload for WRs on the Panthers. Carolina has the 14th-best wide receiver schedule.

Picking Robbie Anderson at his ADP of 232 should be an easy decision, compared to an ECR of 183. Anderson is the #2 wide receiver on the Panthers, behind DJ Moore. As the consensus #68 WR, he will ride the fantasy bench most weeks. Anderson is projected for 659 yards and 4.7 TDs on 56.1 receptions, which is 24.1% of the total for Panthers WRs. The Panthers have the 14th-best schedule for WRs.

Shi Smith is the WR6 on the Panthers. At #168 in our WR rankings, he won't be worth owning in most fantasy leagues. He's projected for 107 yards and 0.5 TDs on 8.5 receptions, which is 3.7% of the total for Panthers WRs. Carolina has the 14th-best schedule for wide receivers.

Matt Corral is not the starting QB for the Panthers. As such, he's not worth drafting in all but the deepest of 2QB leagues. Corral is expected to earn 10% of his projected 11 fantasy points by rushing. While that's a nice bonus, it's not enough to significantly help his floor. Projected for a 2.0 touchdown-to-interception ratio, Corral isn't not likely to melt down often.

Zylstra is not a focus of the the Panthers' offense as their WR6. As the consensus #174 WR, he's probably best left for the waiver wire. He's projected for 63 yards and 0.3 TDs on 5.0 receptions, which is 2.0% of the total for Panthers WRs. The Panthers have the 14th-best wide receiver schedule.

The market has DJ Moore correctly valued at an ADP of 40, compared to an overall ECR of 34. Moore is the bonafide top receiver on the Panthers, ahead of Robbie Anderson and Laviska Shenault Jr. Ranked #14 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's an every week starter. He's projected to catch 86.1 receptions for 1,135 yards and 5.6 TDs, which is 37.0% of the workload for WRs on the Panthers. The Panthers have the 14th-best wide receiver schedule.

Baker Mayfield is the consensus #26 QB, and as such isn't worth drafting in 1QB leagues. Dispite his low rank, his role as the starting QB for the Panthers means he should be owned in 2QB leagues.Mayfield is expected to earn 10% of his projected 241 fantasy points by rushing. While that's a nice bonus, it's not a major source of his fantasy value. With a projection of 14.5 interceptions compared to 21.5 passing touchdowns, Mayfield has the ability to ruin a fantasy week with multiple picks in a game.

Sam Darnold won't begin the season as the starting QB in Carolina - that honor belongs to Baker Mayfield. That means he doesn't have much value in most fantasy leagues. Darnold is projected to earn 2.5 of his 19 fantasy points by rushing. While running is in his wheelhouse, it's not a core part of his fantasy value. With a projection of 1.2 interceptions compared to 1.6 passing touchdowns, Darnold carries more interception risk than is entirely comforatable.
