Latest news

Panthers officially place QB Sam Darnold on IR

Sep 01, 2022 · 1:18 PM EDT

Sam Darnold will be forced to miss the first four games, at a minimum. Though Baker Mayfield was likely brought in to operate as the QB1 from the get-go. This will save him from having someone breathing down his neck.

Related Players: P.J. Walker

Fantasy Impact:

Person would go on to report that GM Scott Fitterer said the plan is for the Panthers to keep only two quarterbacks on the active roster; Baker Mayfield and P.J. Walker. Walker is worth a roster spot in deep-roster Superflex leagues.

Panthers announce Baker Mayfield is starting QB

Panthers officially announced Baker Mayfield as their opening-day starting quarterback vs. the Cleveland Browns.

Related players: Sam Darnold, D.J. Moore, Christian McCaffrey

Fantasy Impact:

Mayfield gets a fresh start in Carolina. We expect him to post serviceable numbers for the Panthers. He was the QB18 in 2020 prior to a QB23 finish last season, though he dealt with some injuries. The weapons in Carolina are pretty solid. Moore is a solid WR1 and McCaffrey is arguably the best receiving back in the league.

Panthers QB Baker Mayfield sees most of first team work

Panthers QB Baker Mayfield received most of the work with the first-team offense.

Related players: Sam Darnold

Fantasy Impact:

The Panthers are having joint practices with the Patriots this week. Kyed went on to say in his tweet he wouldn’t say Mayfield or Darnold stood out today. Both QBs made some good throws near the end of practice while Darnold was picked late. We're expecting Mayfield to win this job and would have some talent around him. He was the QB18 in 2020 and QB23 in 2021.

Panthers Baker Mayfield gaining separation on Sam Darnold

Unsurprisingly after Sam Darnold's lackluster 2021 and the trade for Mayfield, it looks like the latter is in the driver seat as the team's QB1.

Related Players: D.J. Moore, Robbie Anderson

Fantasy Impact:

Per the article, “He’s definitely improving,” Panthers coach Matt Rhule said of Mayfield. “He gets more and more of a feel of what he can do at the line of scrimmage. What he’s done in 10 days is pretty impressive — or 10, 11 practices. He’s making really good jumps.” Mayfield would add stability to the skill position group like Darnold would not. This is good news for the WR group.
