SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • USATODAY.COM
Jeremy Chinn - Makes three stops Chinn finished with three solo tackles in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.
Impact Chinn also registered a quarterback hit, but his total of seven tackles through two games is certainly lower than expected. He'll hope for a breakthrough performance in Week 3 versus the Texans.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Shaq Thompson - Just four stops Thompson finished with four tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.
Impact Thompson also registered a quarterback hit, helping the Panthers shut down the usually dynamic Saints offense. The veteran will now strive for higher tackling volume as Carolina turns its attention toward Thursday's game in Houston.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jaycee Horn - Gets first pick Horn made his first-career interception in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.
Impact Horn picked off Jameis Winston in the fourth quarter, helping seal a convincing victory. The rookie first-rounder will hope to be similarly disruptive defending against the pass in Thursday's upcoming matchup versus the Texans.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Haason Reddick - Adds to sack total Reddick finished with three tackles (one solo) and 1.5 sacks in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.
Impact Reddick now sports three sacks through his first couple games as a Panther. He and Brian Burns have formed a dynamic duo thus far, helping Carolina lead the league in sacks early on. Reddick will hope to keep getting to the quarterback in Week 3 versus the Texans.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Brian Burns - Another sack Sunday Burns finished with four tackles (three solo) and a sack in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.
Impact Burns now boasts two sacks in as many games this season, helping the Panthers lead the league in the category thus far. He'll aim to add to his total in an advantageous matchup versus the Texans in Week 3.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Juston Burris - Strong all-around showing Burris finished with five tackles (four solo) and an interception in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.
Impact Burris led Carolina in stops while also picking off Jameis Winston in the first half, already matching his interception total from last season. The veteran will hope to keep his positive momentum going in a favorable Week 3 matchup versus the Texans.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Zane Gonzalez - Misses two kicks Gonzalez missed one of his three field-goal attempts as well as one of his three extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.
Impact Gonzalez could be on shaky ground after just one appearance for the Panthers, who have already cut two kickers for being inconsistent this season. Although Gonzalez converted from 20 and 42 yards on his respective field-goal makes, he had a 55-yarder blocked before missing a PAT in the fourth quarter. While it remains to be seen whether Gonzalez will stick with Carolina, the quick turnaround ahead of Thursday's game versus Houston could bode in his favor.

Panthers head coach praises offensive line after 26-7 win against the Saints Carolina Panthers are now 2-0. Head coach Matt Rhule gives credit to the offensive line after win against the Saints. The Panthers won 26-7.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Ian Thomas - Makes one catch Thomas caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.
Impact Thomas made a minimal impact in the passing game, but it's worth noting he once again played more snaps than starting tight end Dan Arnold. In fact, with 52 offensive plays compared to Arnold's 22, Thomas was on the field far more than Arnold, but the latter's three catches for 55 yards Sunday evidenced his greater upside than Thomas, who sports just 24 yards through two games so far and has primarily been used as a blocker.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Terrace Marshall Jr. - Another three-catch outing Marshall caught all three of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.
Impact Marshall has hauled in three passes in both of his appearances as a pro, managing only modest yardage from his looks so far. On the bright side, the rookie played just over half of Carolina's offensive snaps Sunday, so he'll hope similar involvement enables him make a breakthrough in this Thursday's matchup against the Texans.

Brandon Zylstra - Scores rare touchdown Zylstra caught all three of his targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.
Impact Zylstra made the most of his 14 offensive snaps, hauling in the first receiving touchdown of his four-year career with a 20-yarder in the first quarter. As Carolina's fourth wideout, Zylstra can't be expected to match Sunday's production often, but his Week 2 impact should keep him in the mix for Sam Darnold.
