Following Young’s latest performance in a Sunday Night Football win over the Lions, he’s up to a league-leading 1,268 passing yards. He completed 29 of 41 pass attempts for 329 yards and 2 TDs without an INT, while adding an extra 3 yards on the ground. Young finished Week 4 as a QB1 for the third time across the first four weeks.

The Charlotte Observer's Scott Fowler believes that Panthers QB Bryce Young's play early in camp will "lead to a really good —and possibly great — season for him." Fowler said Young had the "best practice I’ve ever seen him have" on Wednesday. "It was impossible to look away as No. 9 made one dazzling throw after another, firing the ball into windows the size of portholes," Fowler added.

Panthers WR Chris Brazzell suffered a "moderate" LCL tear in his left knee Wednesday, according to multiple reports. He's expected to miss "up to eight weeks." Brazzell is headed for a second opinion. The third-round rookie had missed two practices earlier in the week because of soreness in the same knee.

WR Tetairoa McMillan went 6-73-1 on 10 targets against the Buccaneers. Jalen Coker was the next highest WR with 5 targets. McMillan matched up against CB Jamel Dean often who had been stout against outside WRs, but McMillan was able to win multiple times one-on-one. As the Panthers march toward the NFC South crown, McMillan has proved himself to be an elite option who can be relied upon for the fantasy championship (and next season).

The Atlanta Falcons entered Week 11 allowing the fewest passing yards in the league, but Carolina QB Bryce Young set a franchise record with 448 passing yards and threw 3 TDs to lead the Panthers to a 30-27 overtime win.

Panthers HC Dave Canales complimented the development of QB Bryce Young. “I think the pace of our offensive development, evolution is growing at the pace of Bryce,” Canales said via The Athletic. “And he’s showing such great mastery of what we’re doing that he’s allowing us to really push the envelope and do more things.” Recall that Young was drafted to a Panthers team with HC Frank Reich and OC Thomas Brown. Now, the 24-year-old (in July) will get the benefit of growing in Canales’ system.

The Panthers on Tuesday announced a new two-year deal with QB Andy Dalton. It'll reportedly pay him $8 million, with $6 million of that guaranteed and a max value of $10 million. Dalton spent the past two seasons with Carolina, starting six total games.
