D.J. Moore - Business as usual in opener Moore caught six of eight targets for 80 yards and added a 14-yard run in Sunday's 19-14 win over the Jets.
Impact Carolina's offense flowed primarily through runs and short passes to Christian McCaffrey, but Moore was able to get open consistently when the Panthers looked to push the ball downfield. Coming off consecutive campaigns of 1,175 or more receiving yards, Moore has quickly established a rapport with new Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold. He'll face the Saints -- against whom Moore produced 194 yards and two touchdowns over two meetings last season -- in Week 2.

Robby Anderson - Makes lone catch count Anderson caught one of three targets for a 57-yard touchdown in Sunday's 19-14 win over the Jets.
Impact Anderson's only catch was a huge one, as he got behind the defense for a 57-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The speedster fleshed out his skill tree en route to career highs in catches (95) and receiving yards (1,096) last season, but his bread and butter is still the deep ball. He took advantage of the Jets' inexperienced secondary in the opener and will look to do the same in Week 2 against the injury-riddled Saints unit.

Sam Darnold - Hot start in Panthers debut Darnold completed 24 of 35 passes for 279 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-14 win over the Jets. He added a rushing touchdown but finished with minus-1 rushing yard on five att...
Impact Darnold delivered a tremendous first-half performance against the team that traded him away in the offseason. He set a new first-half career high with 234 passing yards, including a 57-yard deep ball for a touchdown to former Jets teammate Robby Anderson, and Darnold added a five-yard rushing score for good measure to take a 16-0 lead into the halftime break. Carolina's offense stalled after intermission, but the Panthers were able to hold on and start the Darnold era with a win. They'll remain at home in Week 2 with the Saints coming to town.

Christian McCaffrey - Racks up 187 yards in Week 1 McCaffrey rushed 21 times for 98 yards and caught all nine of his targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 19-14 win over the Jets.
Impact McCaffrey didn't find the end zone, but he still worked as the focal point of the offense, churning out 124 scrimmage yards on 16 first-half touches. Carolina's offense slowed down in the second half after taking a 16-0 lead into the locker room, but McCaffrey closed it out with an 18-yard run to pick up a game-sealing first down. His immense volume as both a rusher and pass-catcher give McCaffrey arguably the highest fantasy floor in the league, and he'll remain a set-and-forget RB1 against the Saints in Week 2.

Myles Hartsfield - Won't return Sunday Hartsfield won't return to Sunday's game against the Jets due to a wrist injury, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Impact Hartsfield recorded three tackles (one solo) to begin Sunday's contest, but he exited the game in the third quarter and was ruled out shortly after. It's not yet clear whether the issue will limit his availability for the team's Week 2 matchup against the Saints.
