Team news: Carolina Panthers

Former Jets’ WR Robby Anderson is signing a two-year, $20 million deal including $12 million in year one with the Carolina Panthers, per source.

This is a surprising signing given the team's top two receivers (D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel), but it's a further boost to Teddy Bridgewater's stock as he has one of the top receiving corps in the league. Anderson is a good all-around receiver but he thrives in the deep passing game which is not something that Bridgewater utilizes regularly. Robby Anderson and Samuel's fantasy stock are both down with this signing. Sam Darnold's stock is also down since it looked for a moment that Anderson might return to the Jets.

Carolina is giving former Saints' QB Teddy Bridgewater a three-year, $63 million deal, per source.

This signing comes on the heels of the Panthers announcing that they are permitting Cam Newton to seek a trade, but Newton's response indicates that they didn't give him a choice. Meanwhile, Bridgewater's performance filling in for an injured Drew Brees was enough to earn him roughly $20 million per year in Carolina. He completed 67.9% of his passes for 1384 yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions with a 7.1 YPA. Fantasy-wise, he'll have two good receivers to throw to in D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel, while Christian McCaffrey is one of the best receiving backs in the league, so it's a good situation. He'll likely be ranked as a low-end QB2/high-end QB3 this summer.

Will Grier was just carted to the locker room after taking a hard shot on a sack. He was announced as doubtful to return with a foot injury.

Allen took over in a blowout loss to the Saints. The Panthers didn't get a long look a Grier this season but he's looking like he has a real chance to be under center Week 1 in 2020 for the Panthers.

Did not see DJ Moore during the open portion of Panthers practice. Can’t imagine he will play this week after going into the protocol Sunday.

Keep in mind this is just speculation but it doesn't make sense for the team to play Moore in a meaningless game in Week 17 even if he is cleared. The team will roll with Curtis Samuel and Jarius Wright most likely.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore did not return after sustaining a concussion against the Colts.

If Moore can't go in Week 17, Samuel likely takes over as the WR1 with Wright and White probably getting an increase in snaps and targets.
