CAROLINA PANTHERS NEWS

Chuba Hubbard - Gets eight carries Hubbard rushed eight times for 10 yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.

Impact Hubbard was handed a decent workload despite Christian McCaffrey finishing with 29 touches. However, Hubbard playing a quarter of Carolina's 76 overall offensive snaps came partially as a result of McCaffrey missing a couple drives while dealing with cramps, Joseph Person of The Athletic reports. After hardly getting anything going with his carries Sunday, Hubbard will hope to make a bigger impact if called upon in Thursday's upcoming game versus the Texans.

Dan Arnold - Strong showing Sunday Arnold caught three of four targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.

Impact The tight end didn't see much target volume against his former club, but Arnold made his chances count, hauling in passes of 19, 19 and 17 yards in the first half to help the Panthers build a 17-0 lead. After a quiet showing in Carolina's opener, the Sam Darnold-D. Arnold connection appears to be gaining some momentum heading into Thursday's clash with a Texans defense that just coughed up 11 catches for 107 yards to Cleveland's tight ends.

Robby Anderson - Quiet in Week 2 win Anderson caught three of six targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.

Impact So far, the reunion between Anderson and Sam Darnold hasn't resulted in much production for the wideout aside from a 57-yard TD in Week 1 -- the only target he saw in that game. Instead, DJ Moore has quickly emerged as Darnold's preferred option among his new group of wide receivers. Anderson at least saw solid target volume in this one, and he'll look to build on that performance Thursday on the road against a Texans secondary that gave up big numbers to both DJ Chark and Marvin Jones in Houston's opener.

DJ Moore - Finds end zone against Saints Moore caught eight of 11 targets for 79 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.

Impact For the second straight game, Moore was Sam Darnold's favorite option among Carolina's wideouts, and this time the duo connected on a 20-yard TD strike in the second quarter. Moore will look to keep his hot start going Thursday against a Texans defense that got lit up by DJ Chark and Marvin Jones in their opener.

Sam Darnold - Sharp in win over Saints Darnold completed 26 of 38 passes for 305 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.

Impact He also picked up seven rushing yards on his lone carry. Darnold's second game in a Panthers uniform went even better than his first, as he picked apart a New Orleans defense that just shut down Aaron Rodgers in its opener. Both Darnold's TDs came in the first two quarters, as he found Brandon Zylstra and DJ Moore on red-zone strikes and then didn't need to air things out after halftime. The former Jets quarterback is in good shape to make it three wins, and three productive games, in a row when Carolina heads to Houston for a Thursday night tilt in Week 3.
