Carolina Panthers Roster FANTASY FOOTBALL 2025

Carolina went 8-9 and won the NFC South, ending the franchise's longest playoff drought since the team's founding. The Panthers finished tied with Atlanta and Tampa Bay at 8-9 and won the three-way tiebreaker on a superior 3-1 head-to-head record against the other two. The division title was the franchise's first since 2015.

Bryce Young, in his third year, threw for 3,011 yards and 23 touchdowns with 12 interceptions on a career-high 87.8 passer rating. Dave Canales, in his second year as head coach, kept Young as the starter all season and watched him grow into a quarterback the front office now believes in. Chuba Hubbard ran for over 1,000 yards. Tetairoa McMillan was a Cardinal, but rookie tight end Mason Taylor caught 60 passes in his first year.

The wild-card round at home against the Rams was a 34-31 loss in which Young threw for 287 yards and the offense couldn't close out a fourth-quarter lead. The Panthers picked up Young's fifth-year option in late April, locking him through 2027, and entered the offseason with a real foundation for the first time in over a decade.
