Carolina Panthers DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble (back) is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 10 against the New York Giants on Sunday in Munich, Germany. Tremble practiced in full on Wednesday and Friday while being limited on Thursday. Meanwhile, rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle, wrist) was cleared to play after popping up on the injury report on Thursday. The 24-year-old Tremble has missed four of the last five games due to injury, but he appears to be on the right track to suit up overseas this weekend. Still, fantasy managers desperate at the tight end position should be able to find better streaming options in deep leagues. Tremble will probably take a back seat to Sanders, who has become a bigger part of the offense in recent weeks. In his five games played in 2024, Tremble has nine grabs on 12 targets for just 72 yards and no touchdowns.

Carolina Panthers rookie running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 10, according to Mike Kaye of The Observer. Brooks was activated off Injured Reserve this week and has been able to participate in full during team practices this week. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status over the weekend, but even though he has returned to full participation, the team may opt to be very cautious with their rookie running back given their position on the standings. Brooks has been sidelined during the entire first half of the season due to suffering a torn ACL last December. If the Tennessee product is unable to return this weekend, fantasy managers should expect Chuba Hubbard to see the majority of snaps out of the backfield and be viewed as a solid RB2.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) will not suit up in Week 10 when the Panthers face the New York Giants. The veteran wideout was placed on the injured reserve after Week 3 and returned to practice during the final week of October. This week, the 34-year-old has been unable to practice which was surprising as he was able to participate in a limited capacity at times last week. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progress as he may have faced a setback this week. This weekend, rookie Xavier Legette is expected to lead the passing attack against the New York secondary who has allowed the 14th-fewest PPR points to opposing wide receivers.

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle has captured the lead role in the backfield over the past few weeks, but the offense may lose some efficiency with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) set to miss at least the next four games. Dowdle should see significant volume coming off of an RB1 finish a week ago, but the matchup against Philadelphia's third-ranked run defense is far from ideal. He can be considered a flex option with a fairly lower floor than usual this week.

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette (hand, wrist) told the media that he aggravated a past injury, according to Alex Zietlow of The Observer. However, Legette emphasized that he has been dealing with this injury for years and that he is "good." In addition, he also expressed excitement about traveling overseas to face the Giants in Germany. Fantasy managers should monitor his status in case he faces a setback, but he should be expected to be a full-go for Sunday's tilt. The South Carolina product has found the back of the end zone in each of the past two games and should be viewed as a solid WR3 this weekend while leading the Carolina passing attack.
