Devin Funchess won't start Week 1

When Kelvin Benjamin tore his ACL, most people looked to second-round pick Devin Funchess as the likeliest replacement for Benjamin in the lineup because the rookie’s size gave him a similar presence on the field.

Any Benjamin impersonations will come in a reserve role against the Jaguars in Week One, however. Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Monday that the team will start Ted Ginn and Corey Brown at wideout to kick off the season while Funchess, who had a hamstring injury this summer, is the third man in the mix.

Fantasy Impact: 

Even with Funchess missing time this summer, seeing Brown’s name in the lineup is a bit of a surprise on a couple of fronts. He struggled with drops in preseason games and practices, which seemed to push him closer to the waiver wire than the first team. It's hard to believe the team won't turn to Funchess at some point sooner than later. Right now, it may just be a case that he's behind in his reps and learning the offense.

In a move that’s considered at least somewhat of a surprise given the lack of proven and available players in the Panthers receiving corps, the Black and Blue Review is reporting that the team is waiving Jarrett Boykin.

The move indicates the Panthers will rely on veterans Jerricho Cotchery and Ted Ginn Jr. and rookie Devin Funchess as the lead receivers. Top receiver Kelvin Benjamin is out for the season after tearing his ACL in an August practice.

Fantasy Impact: 

The Panthers traded a conditional draft pick to Seattle for second-year wide receiver Kevin Norwood on Monday and could be in the market for additional help at the position through this week and weekend as other teams trim their rosters.

Panthers WR Devin Funchess (hamstring) returns to practice

Devin Funchess has returned to the Carolina Panthers' practice field, and the news could not have come sooner.

Funchess participated fully in Panthers practice on Sunday, according to the Charlotte Observer. The rookie wideout reportedly dropped a few passes, but otherwise looked as if his strained hamstring wasn't bothering him.

Fantasy Impact: 

With Kelvin Benjamin out for the year, Funchess likely becomes the de facto WR1 for the Panthers. Provided he has no further setbacks, we would expect his ADP to climb into the 8th round after Benjamin went in the 7th/8th as a rookie. He's going to see a ton of targets as Cam Newton's primary target in the passing game.

Wide receiver Devin Funchess (hamstring) was on the field for a handful of plays during team drills. This was the first time for Funchess in a week. He seemed to move well, but coach Ron Rivera wouldn’t commit to his status for Friday night’s preseason game against New England until he sees how he responds on Thursday.

Rivera wants Funchess on the field because he’s the best candidate to replace Kelvin Benjamin.
