QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Bryce Young	537.3	333.7	3626.8	21.76	11.28	45.7	262.8	2.86	252.99
Andy Dalton	37.4	24.1	261.8	1.65	1.01	4.3	13.3	0.18	17.46
QB Totals	574.7	357.8	3888.6	23.41	12.29	50	276.1	3.04	270.45

Bryce Young: Young was benched after a terrible start through the first two weeks last season (only 225 passing yards, 4.01 Y/A, no touchdowns and three interceptions). He didn't start again until Week 8, but he played much better, especially over the final three games (64.8%, 7.0 Y/A, seven touchdowns and no interceptions). After Carolina's Week 11 bye, Young was the QB8 in fantasy PPG (21.2) through the end of the season.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Chuba Hubbard	244.5	1063.6	7.09	42	265.1	0.7	200.61
Rico Dowdle	88.2	388.1	1.76	23.1	163.3	1.7	87.45
Trevor Etienne	34	146.2	0.68	12.8	93.4	0.5	37.44
RB Totals	366.7	1597.9	9.53	77.9	521.8	2.9	325.5

Chuba Hubbard: Hubbard finished 2024 as the RB15 overall (RB12 on a PPG basis) in a career-best season — 250 carries for 1,195 yards, 43 catches for 171 yards and 11 total touchdowns. With Jonathan Brooks on PUP and out for another season, the Panthers added a more competent RB2 (Rico Dowdle) and used an early Day 3 pick on Trevor Etienne, but the team should continue to lean on Hubbard as its lead back.

Rico Dowdle: Taking over for Tony Pollard as the featured back in Dallas, Dowdle eclipsed the 1,000-yard rushing mark in 2024 with a total of 1,328 scrimmage yards (only 38 fewer than Hubbard), 39 receptions (four fewer) and five total touchdowns in 2024. Despite their nearly identical stats (touchdowns excluded), it will likely require an injury to Hubbard for Dowdle to become a weekly consideration in your fantasy lineups.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Tetairoa McMillan	82.4	1123.6	7.1	0	0	0	196.16
Xavier Legette	51.7	535.8	4	8.5	38.3	0.34	109.3
Jalen Coker	42.7	593.6	2.7	0	0	0	96.91
David Moore	12.2	160.6	1.7	0	0	0	32.36
Jimmy Horn Jr.	7.2	87	0.5	0	0	0	15.3
Hunter Renfrow	9.2	96.3	0.6	0	0	0	17.83
Brycen Tremayne	2.4	26.6	0.2	0	0	0	5.06
Dalevon Campbell	1.6	19.3	0.1	0	0	0	3.33
WR Totals	209.4	2642.8	16.9	8.5	38.3	0.34	476.25

Tetairoa McMillan: McMillan lands in an ideal spot to command a dominant target share, as his top pass-catching competition includes Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker (who will miss at least four games on IR), and Ja'Tavion Sanders. Drawing some comparisons to Drake London, McMillan is a big wideout (6'4" and 219 pounds) with the body control, catch radius and ball skills to win vertically and in contested-catch situations.

Jalen Coker: With Adam Thielen traded back to the Minnesota Vikings, Coker's ADP shot up before he landed on short-term IR with a quad injury. He'll be eligible to return in Week 5. Once he does, it wouldn't be a surprise if he were able to perform as a WR3/flex from that point through the end of the season.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Ja'Tavion Sanders	49.5	519.9	1.9	88.14
Tommy Tremble	17.2	164.8	1.6	34.68
Mitchell Evans	2.8	28.2	0.2	5.42
James Mitchell	1.1	11	0.1	2.25
TE Totals	70.6	723.9	3.8	130.49

Ja'Tavion Sanders: Sanders led the team's tight ends in 2024 with 33 receptions for 342 yards (21.4/G) and a touchdown as a rookie. Coach Dave Canales has talked up his improvement as a pass catcher heading into his sophomore campaign.
