It makes sense. We have very good weapons. The big question marks are at QB and OL. Which to be fair are really big question marks. LOL!

 

 

You just had to do it didn't you? lol I mean, I get it. But man, couldn't we have one thread where we don't go there right away?

7. Carolina Panthers

2020 rank: 5  2019 rank: 22

The Panthers rued the absence of their biggest star last season, as running back Christian McCaffrey reminded us to be cautious about using even a spotless health record to predict future availability. After playing nearly every snap in 2019, CMC missed 13 games with ankle, shoulder and quad injuries. Like Michael Thomas, it's always good to wait and see a player recover from a high ankle sprain before counting on them to return to their prior level of play. It should be telling that McCaffrey missed virtually an entire season and is still the consensus first overall pick in fantasy drafts. There's nobody in the league like a healthy McCaffrey.

If McCaffrey comes back strong, few teams can boast a big three quite as impressive as that of McCaffrey and wideouts Robby Anderson and DJ Moore. Anderson reunites with an old teammate in Sam Darnold, and while Moore's 2020 season might not have been as productive as hoped, consider that he averaged more than 10 yards per target and didn't fumble after six of them across the prior two seasons. Positive touchdown regression toward the mean will come for Moore, who has only 10 scores on 208 catches over his first three seasons.

@SBBlue, and @ladypantherAsk and ye shall receive. 

 

Although, that has us at 5, not 7. So...Um, nice?

 

Edit to add. Oopsy. That is 2020, not for this year. Or is it?
