2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ray saw increased playing time in his second year in Carolina, improving as both a pass rusher and run stopper while recording 41 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over 591 defensive snaps. The Panthers bolstered their defensive line in free agency by signing Tershawn Wharton and Bobby Brown, addressing a unit that struggled across the board in 2024. As a result, Ray is likely to serve as a backup defensive end this season. Read Past Outlooks
