Devin Funchess

It seems that everyone is forgetting how much Greg Olsen means to this offense and why Funchess got the volume he did last year. While he did a solid job, the Panthers felt the need to draft a wide receiver with their first-round pick, and one who'll play the underneath possession-style role, eliminating Funchess' volume. He's going to be a lesser version of Kelvin Benjamin going forward. While I propped him up as a sleeper last year, he's going to be considered a bust in 2018.

Devin Funchess (shoulder) goes for 79 yards in Wild Card Game

Devin Funchess was able to play despite a shoulder injury and he finished his season with 79 yards on four receptions. Funchess failed to catch a deep ball from Cam Newton which would've given the Panthers the lead but he couldn't get back to the ball. It was a solid season for Funchess as the top receiver for Cam Newton.

Fantasy Impact

Funchess will return next season as a solid WR3 with upside and especially if Christian McCaffrey or Greg Olsen misses time. The Panthers need to find other options to go with Funchess and Olsen but it will remain to be seen if they draft someone or acquire someone via free agency.
