Summary

The offense certainly made huge strides last season but the Panthers' defense had plenty of struggles, ranking 28th overall. Carolina was about the same against the run and pass, so both areas need work for the coming season. The rush defense should get a boost with rookie linebacker Luke Kuechly and a healthy Jon Beason back in the mix. Both players should make a difference in preventing the big plays. The secondary remains a big concern, though. The Panthers are going with the same talent they had last year at cornerback, which didn't do much to stop the pass. Expect this part of the defense to struggle once again. Rookie Joe Adams should help the special teams some as he is expected to serve as the punt returner. Adams has some big-play ability and does well in space, so he'll provide an upgrade for this unit.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
You can't get too excited about the Panthers' defense. They are middle of the pack when it comes to sacks and their secondary will have some struggles. Expect a bit of an improvement over last season but not enough to make them a consistent producer for fantasy teams. They are a spot starter at best - and even that might be a reach.
