Latest news

Panthers QB Sam Darnold still not close to returning

Panthers’ QB Sam Darnold is eligible to come off of IR, but he’s still not close to being from the high ankle sprain he suffered in late August. It’s still, in the words of a source, “going to be a while.”

Related Players: Baker Mayfield

Fantasy Impact:

Carolina's offense has been moribund through four weeks, with Baker Mayfield looking as bad as he's ever looked. If Darnold were to return to health at any point this season, there would be an immediate —if tedious— quarterback controversy in the works.

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.

Sam Darnold to miss 4-6 weeks with ankle injury

Panthers QB Sam Darnold is expected to be out for 4-6 weeks with a high ankle sprain.

Fantasy Impact:

Darnold suffered the injury during Friday’s preseason game against the Bills. At the time, the injury looked much worse than it turned out to be. The cart came out for Darnold. So this is a fortunate event for the Panthers, who have already lost rookie Matt Corral for the season to injury. This leaves P.J. Walker as Baker Mayfield’s backup.

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.
