Wide Receivers/Tight Ends: B
Through the first half of the season, Carolina ranks 25th in passing yards per game, and ranks in the bottom-third of the league in passing touchdowns. While that may seem like a quarterback issue, the Panthers don’t have a single qualified receiver in the top 25 in yards of separation per route according toNFL Next Gen Stats. The team’s top-two receivers,DJ MooreandCurtis Samuel, rank in the bottom-third of that statistic.
Despite the rankings, the Panthers’ receivers have been far from bad. Moore is on pace for about 1,200 yards and Samuel is having a career year and has emerged as Carolina’s top deep threat. On top of that,Greg Olsenhas stayed healthy all year and continues to be a safety blanket for the Panthers’ quarterbacks. The recent addition ofDonte Moncriefoff waivers could also pay dividends by season’s end. While this group has been far from spectacular, they’ve done a solid job all year with a backup quarterback at the helm.
