Carolina Panthers

NFC South

Fantasy Impact: Coker has already missed the past two games with the quad injury and was hoping to return this week. This setback is a significant blow to his chances of playing. Fantasy managers should consider him unlikely to suit up and look for alternative options. With Coker likely out, Adam Thielen and rookie Xavier Legette are the primary receiving options for the Panthers.

Fantasy Impact: It is the second straight day in which Sanders was limited. If he returns, it would likely take some snaps away from Tommy Tremble.

Fantasy Impact: It is the second straight day of rest for Moton. He should be good to go if he returns to practice on Friday.

Fantasy Impact: It is a downgrade for Jewell after he was limited on Wednesday. His status will be worth monitoring on Friday.

Fantasy Impact: Clowney has been in and out of practice all season. His status will be worth monitoring to see if he is able to practice on Friday to end the week.

Tommy Tremble caught 5-of-8 targets for 77 yards in the Panthers' 26-23 loss to Tampa on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Tremble had a nice long gain of 38 yards in this contest and managed season-highs in targets, receptions, and yards. It's notable that Ja'Tavion Sanders was not available for this contest, which could have led to the increased workload for Tremble. Chasing points here would not be a wise decision, as Tremble has not been a reliable fantasy option so far in his career.

Jonathon Brooks ran for 18 yards on six carries and caught all three of his targets for 23 yards in the Panthers' 26-23 loss to Tampa on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Brooks was more involved than last week, which makes sense with him coming off of an injury. What is interesting is that he caught three passes while Chuba Hubbard failed to see a target. When all was said and done, Brooks trailed Hubbard in total touches 12 to 9. It's an encouraging sign for those who invested in Brooks in dynasty, but his value in redraft leagues is minimal at this point. He could have some potential during the fantasy playoffs, but what that is remains unknown.

David Moore caught 5-of-9 targets for 40 yards in the Panthers' 26-23 loss to the Bucs on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Moore now has two consecutive games with five or more receptions while filling in for the injured Jalen Coker. He should be a solid option as long as Coker is out as a deep flex play.

Adam Thielen caught 8-of-10 targets for 99 yards and a score in the Panthers 26-23 loss to Tampa on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Thielen led the team in targets, receptions, and yards in this game, as well as catching Bryce Young's only touchdown pass. He provides a good veteran presence to the team and could function as Carolina's primary receiver to close out the season.

Xavier Legette caught 4-of-8 targets for 53 yards in the Panthers' 26-23 loss to the Bucs on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Legette was tied with Tommy Tremble for third on the team in targets and was third on the team in receiving yards. Legette has put up decent games this year and hasn't been bad, but hasn't really lived up to the first-round price tag the Panthers spent on him in the 2024 draft.

Chuba Hubbard ran for 43 yards on 12 carries and lost a critical overtime fumble in the Panthers' 26-23 loss to the Bucs on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Hubbard struggled to get much going on the ground in this game and ceded a little more work to Jonathon Brooks as well. Crucially, he lost an eventual game-sealing fumble in overtime and failed to receive a target while Brooks had three. Hubbard just received an extension and Brooks is still coming off an injury, so it's unlikely one bad performance completely destroyed his value, but Brooks could continue to eat into his workload and make Hubbard less appealing.

Bryce Young completed 26-of-46 passes for 298 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' close 26-23 loss in OT to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also ran three times for 17 yards and a score.

Fantasy Impact: Young put up a very nice fantasy day with the help of a rushing score. He wasn't the most accurate passer (56.5% completion rate), but he did make some nice throws. With two good performances in the last two weeks and some solid performances before that, his value is certainly on the rise. It's yet another glimmer of hope that Young may be coming back to life and can be a franchise quarterback after an abysmal rookie year and a bad start to 2024 as well.

The Panthers D/ST allowed 30 points, 269 passing yards, and 165 rushing yards in the loss to the Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact: The Panthers' defense tallied five sacks, but failed to create any turnovers in the loss Sunday. They will face another tough matchup with Tampa Bay on the schedule in Week 13.

Eddy Pineiro converted on 4-of-4 field goal attempts and 1-of-1 extra point attempts in the Panthers 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact: Pineiro connected on field goals from 29, 30, 32, and 33 yards out in the loss Sunday. The 29-year-old has missed just one field goal attempt this season and remains a solid option for fantasy managers heading into Week 13.
