QUARTERBACKS
| Player | Att. | Comp. | Yards | TD | INT | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bryce Young | 523.8 | 340.5 | 3692.8 | 22 | 13.62 | 53 | 214.7 | 1.33 | 237.92 |
| Andy Dalton | 33.4 | 21.8 | 232.1 | 1.4 | 0.9 | 6.8 | 21.1 | 0.14 | 16.03 |
Bryce Young: It was no surprise that the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 draft was named the Week 1 starter early in the process. While ups and downs should be expected for any rookie, Young is always composed, processes information quickly and thrives when extending and making plays outside of structure.
RUNNING BACKS
| Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Miles Sanders | 209.7 | 964.6 | 5.66 | 32.6 | 243.3 | 1.4 | 179.45 |
| Chuba Hubbard | 112.8 | 485 | 2.93 | 22.6 | 166.8 | 1 | 100.06 |
| Raheem Blackshear | 49.6 | 203.4 | 1.41 | 14.5 | 107.9 | 0.6 | 50.44 |
| Spencer Brown | 9 | 38.3 | 0.23 | 1.4 | 9.8 | 0.1 | 7.49 |
Miles Sanders: Sanders set career highs in rushing last season with 259 carries for 1,269 yards and 11 touchdowns. Through four NFL seasons, he has averaged 5.02 yards per carry running behind the league's best offensive line. With Jalen Hurts under center, Sanders (and Philly's running backs) weren't targeted often, but he had 50 receptions as a rookie in 2022. There's a good chance that he's more involved as a receiver than he was over the past several seasons. Sanders is dealing with a hamstring injury, but Frank Reich says he thinks that Sanders is "getting close."
Chuba Hubbard: Sanders played a full 17-game last season, but he's currently dealing with a hamstring injury and appeared in only 12 games in both 2020 and 2021. While Sanders should be ready to go before Week 1, Hubbard would likely handle the largest share of the workload in the event that Sanders were to miss any time, and he averaged 4.9 YPC last season.
WIDE RECEIVERS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| D.J. Chark | 48 | 677 | 3.7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 113.9 |
| Adam Thielen | 54.3 | 596.6 | 3.9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 110.21 |
| Jonathan Mingo | 46.2 | 565.2 | 3.3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 99.42 |
| Terrace Marshall Jr. | 31.7 | 412.1 | 2.3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 70.86 |
| Laviska Shenault Jr. | 23.5 | 253.2 | 1.5 | 10.1 | 55.6 | 0.51 | 54.69 |
| Shi Smith | 7.1 | 92.2 | 0.6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 16.37 |
D.J. Chark: Chark will compete with Adam Thielen, Terrace Marshall Jr. and Jonathan Mingo for targets, which means that Chark has a real shot to lead the team's wide receivers in fantasy points in 2023. Chark has appeared in only 28 games over the past three seasons, but he had a breakout age-23 season before that with 73/1,008/8 in 2019.
Adam Thielen: After spending his entire career in Minnesota, Thielen begins anew with the Panthers and a rookie quarterback in his age-33 season. Thielen has has a minimum of 67 catches and 710 yards in each of the past three seasons, and he's one of five players with at least 30 touchdowns during that span, per Stathead.
Jonathan Mingo: The Panthers used a top-40 pick on Mingo, a big receiver (6-2, 220) who had a strong showing at the combine (4.46 40-yard dash, 39.5" vertical jump and 22 bench press reps). While the college production wasn't elite as a four-year starter, he's a good route runner who uses his size and strong hands to win in contested-catch situations.
TIGHT ENDS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hayden Hurst | 51.6 | 510.2 | 3.1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 95.42 |
| Ian Thomas | 13.6 | 135.4 | 0.9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 25.74 |
| Tommy Tremble | 12.7 | 129.5 | 0.9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 24.7 |
| Stephen Sullivan | 2.4 | 25.5 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4.95 |
Hayden Hurst: Hurst has missed four games and averaged only 8.5 yards per reception (or less) in back-to-back seasons, but he averaged a career-high four receptions per game last season. Given the relative uncertainty at wide receiver, it's possible that Hurst comes close to his averages from last year.
