Carolina Panthers DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard carried the ball 23 times for 83 yards and added two catches for nine yards in a 9-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 18. Hubbard easily led the team in rushing in the regular-season finale as Miles Sanders saw just three touches in the loss. Hubbard ultimately turned in a successful season as he wrestled the starting role away from Sanders mid-season and never looked back. His role heading into next season remains up in the air, however, as the Panthers are likely to have a new head coach and general manager in place.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young completed 11 of his 18 passes for 94 yards and added two carries for 24 yards and a lost fumble in a 9-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 18. Young capped off a disappointing rookie season by failing to throw for a touchdown for the sixth time in the past eight games. The signal-caller finishes the year with 2,877 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in 16 games. He will hope to bounce back in his sophomore season next year, although he is looking like a low-end QB2/high-end Qb3 for fantasy purposes heading into the offseason.

Carolina Panthers kicker Matthew Wright, who was elevated to the active roster on Saturday, will serve as the team's primary kicker versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 18. The decision to elevate and activate Wright is a direct result of Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) missing Sunday's regular-season finale. Wright attempted 33 kicks last year but hasn't registered a snap in 2023. That will presumably change this week, though he remains off the fantasy radar given the Panthers' ongoing offensive struggles.

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) is officially inactive for Week 18 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This news was widely expected after the Panthers listed him as doubtful heading into the weekend. The 28-year-old had appeared in Carolina's previous 16 games this season, converting 86 percent of his field goals. This week, he'll be replaced by Matthew Wright, who remains off the fantasy radar given the Panthers' ongoing offensive struggles.

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble caught one of three targets for six yards in a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. He will look to bounce back in the regular-season finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 18. The Bucs have struggled to cover tight ends this season as they are allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Tremble isn't a major piece of the Carolina offense but he could see an uptick in usage after the Panthers placed wide receiver Jonathan Mingo (foot) on injured reserve earlier this week. Treat Tremble as a low-end TE2 in Week 18.
