2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wharton is one of two interior defensive linemen the Panthers signed this offseason, joining the team on a three-year, $54 million deal after spending his first five seasons in Kansas City. The 27-year-old is coming off the best season of his career, setting new personal bests in total tackles (29), sacks (6.5) and pass defenses (two). Now in Carolina, he's expected to serve as the team's top interior pass rusher and wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, $54 million contract with the Panthers in March of 2025.
Won't play vs. NOLA
Wharton (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Wharton popped up on Saturday's injury report due to a hamstring injury, which is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's game. Bobby Brown and LaBryan Ray are poised for more defensive snaps in Wharton's absence.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Wharton made a name for himself as a rookie despite going undrafted, ultimately claiming more snaps than Derrick Nnadi alongside star defensive tackle Chris Jones. Wharton used the snaps to accumulate 27 tackles (14 solo), two sacks and a forced fumble, but he faces even more competition in 2021 following the team's offseason addition of Jarran Reed.
