Carolina Panthers Week 3 Recap: Analytics, Injuries, Betting & Fantasy

Game result: Shut out Atlanta 30-0 at home. Bryce Young managed only 121 passing yards but avoided turnovers, and the defense forced two interceptions. Chuba Hubbard led the backfield with 73 rushing yards.

Analytics: Carolina averages 19.0 points per game but scored 30 against Atlanta thanks to a defensive touchdown and efficient red-zone execution. The Panthers held the Falcons to 0-of-9 on third down and recorded five sacks.

Injuries: No new injuries were reported for Carolina. However, star receiver Mike Evans (now with Tampa Bay) left his game with a hamstring injury, indirectly boosting the Panthers’ chances in the NFC South race.

Betting: Carolina entered as a 5.5-point underdog; the Panthers covered easily by winning outright. The game finished under the 44.5-point total.

Fantasy: Chuba Hubbard and rookie receiver Tetairoa McMillan (48 yards) are deep-league flex plays. The defense should be rostered after producing a shutout and multiple sacks. Bryce Young remains a low-end QB2 until the passing volume increases.
