2025 Fantasy Outlook
Blackshear is heading into his fourth season as a Panther, having tallied just 203 rushing yards and 138 receiving yards across 41 games. He served as Carolina's top return specialist in 2024, but the offseason additions of Jimmy Horn and Trevor Etienne make it possible that Blackshear doesn't retain the role in 2025. Blackshear is expected to carry minimal fantasy value next season, playing behind Chubba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle and Etienne. Read Past Outlooks

Overall
Signed a contract with the Panthers in April of 2025.
Re-signs with Carolina
Blackshear is signing a one-year contract with the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2022 UDFA played 41 games for Carolina the past three seasons, taking 68 touches for 341 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns, 66 kickoff returns for 1,734 yards and 23 punt returns for 200 yards. Blackshear returned both kicks and punts in 2024, but he didn't get a restricted-free-agent tender earlier this offseason and now returns to the Panthers on a cheaper contract. He'll likely be third or fourth on the depth chart at running back, behind Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle at the very least.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Undrafted out of Virginia Tech in 2022, Blackshear has seen limited opportunities the last two seasons. He lacks the size to be an every-down workhorse, but he showed a three-down skill set in college and could be a useful depth option in the NFL. It's impossible to understate how the Panthers' poor offensive line play has kept him from showing it, however. He's averaged only 1.8 yards before contact per rush in his career, which would have been a bottom-10 mark in 2023. The addition of Jonathon Brooks in the 2024 Draft just puts another obstacle in Blackshear's way.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could back up Sanders
Blackshear has the chance to be the primary backup to Miles Sanders this season, Joseph Person of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Blackshear spent the 2022 season as Carolina's primary kick returner, and he showed explosiveness by averaging 27 yards per return. His role on offense could grow in 2023, as he reportedly impressed coach Frank Reich during offseason team activities. Chuba Hubbard is widely viewed as the top backup to Sanders, but Blackshear may have the chance to wrestle the role away during training camp.
