Fantasy Impact: Thielen missed a chunk of the middle third of the 2024 season because of injury, seeing a stint on injured reserve, but he had a strong end to his year. The veteran wideout had 48 catches for 615 yards and five touchdowns, he will play his 12th NFL season in 2025 at the age of 35. For now, he seems likely to return, having credited Bryce Young's development for his desire to return to Carolina in the past.

The Panthers D/ST allowed 38 points, 312 passing yards, and 227 rushing yards in the Panthers 44-38 win over the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact: The Panthers' defense tallied one sack and one interception in the overtime win Sunday. The Panthers will look to improve their defense in free agency and the draft to bolster the unit heading into the 2025 season.

Eddy Pineiro made 1-of-1 field goal attempts and 5-of-5 extra point attempts in the Panthers 44-38 win over the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact: Pineiro connected on a 35-yard field goal attempt to put Carolina on the board in the first quarter. He will finish his 2024 season with a 84.6% success rate on his field goal attempts and a 94.3% success rate on his extra point attempts in 17 games. The 29-year-old is set to be an unrestricted free agent heading into 2025.

Tommy Tremble caught 2-of-3 targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers 44-38 win over the Falcons.

Raheem Blackshear rushed for 47 yards on four carries in the Panthers 44-38 win over the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact: Blackshear ceded the bulk of the running back work Sunday to veteran Miles Sanders. The 26-year-old will head to free agency seeing minimal work on offense during the 2024 season.

Bryce Young completed 25-of-34 passes for 251 yards and three touchdowns in the Panthers 44-38 win over the Falcons. He also rushed for 24 yards and two touchdowns on five attempts.
