Carolina loses ground after Week 6 win
The Carolina Panthers have lost three straight games following a 26-21 defeat against the Denver Broncos at Bank of America Stadium in Week 9. Carolina is now 3-5, with a road game against the New Orleans Saints next. The Panthers have scored 199 points and allowed 219 this season, a minus-20 differential. Their recent slide followed a 25-14 road win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6.
A smaller margin, but another loss
Carolina lost 43-13 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7 and 27-19 at the Green Bay Packers in Week 8 before falling by five points against Denver. The margin has narrowed in each of those three defeats, but the Panthers have been outscored 96-53 during the streak. Their 21 points against Denver marked their highest scoring output since the win at Philadelphia.
Waller tops Week 9 fantasy scoring
Darren Waller paced Carolina's Week 9 fantasy production with 23.0 PPR points. Bryce Young followed with 20.3, while Tetairoa McMillan delivered 15.6 and Chuba Hubbard added 13.6. Tommy Tremble also contributed 12.4, giving Carolina two tight ends among its five highest scorers for the week. Young and Hubbard share the season lead at 146.6 PPR points apiece. McMillan follows with 124.5, ahead of Jalen Coker at 86.0 and Waller at 76.9. Waller's Week 9 output accounts for nearly 30 percent of his season total—a strong week, though Young, Hubbard and McMillan remain Carolina's top three cumulative fantasy scorers.
Next stop: New Orleans
The Panthers visit the Saints at Caesars Superdome in Week 10 on Sunday, Nov. 15, at 1 p.m. ET. Carolina will try to end its three-game losing streak and secure its first win since Week 6.
