• Panthers' Jonathan Mingo: Just one catch in Week 2

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Mingo caught one of his two targets for one yard during Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Chargers. The 23-year-old wideout has had an unimpressive start to his sophomore campaign, logging just three catches for 41 yards over the first two games. Mingo did out-snap rookie Xavier Legette (30 to 20) after playing behind him in Week 1, but it ultimately won't matter much if Carolina's offense continues to struggle. Expect Mingo to have a hard time finding fantasy relevance working as the Panthers' No. 3 or 4 wide receiver when the team travels to Las Vegas in Week 3.

• Panthers' Jonathan Mingo: Struggles in Week 1

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Mingo caught two of his five targets for 40 yards and rushed once for three yards during Sunday's 47-10 loss to the Saints. Mingo's sophomore campaign got off to a rocky start, as the 2023 second-round pick fumbled his first touch on an end-around in the second quarter. He rebounded fairly well, as Mingo caught two passes for 40 yards in the second half, including a 35-yard reception that helped set up Carolina's only touchdown. Despite finishing second on the Panthers in receiving yards, Mingo played just 33 offensive snaps, fewer than Adam Thielen (41), Diontae Johnson (39) and Xavier Legette (35). Even if Mingo takes a step forward in 2024, his ceiling appears limited by a Carolina offense that struggled badly in Week 1.

• Panthers' Jonathan Mingo: First catch of preseason

  08/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Mingo recorded one catch (on one target) for four yards in Saturday's 15-12 preseason loss to the Jets. None of Diontae Johnson (groin), Xavier Legette or Adam Thielen suited up, which left Mingo as one of the starting receivers. The Panthers made a clear effort to get him the ball early, as he tallied a four-yard catch prior to having an 18-yard gain negated by an offensive pass interference penalty on the first drive. Mingo had a very disappointing rookie season in 2023, and he's likely to begin the new campaign as the team's third or fourth receiver.

• Panthers' Jonathan Mingo: Fails to corral sole target

  08/09/2024 • By RotoWire

  Mingo failed to bring in his only target in the Panthers' 17-3 preseason loss to the Patriots on Thursday. He also rushed once for six yards. The second-year pro's quest to secure the No. 3 receiver role with a strong preseason didn't exactly get off to a rousing start. Mingo has been making a strong impression during training camp practices and drew the start Thursday with Diontae Johnson, Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette (foot) all sitting out, but he couldn't capitalize on his one opportunity while playing with Jack Plummer as his quarterback. Mingo did put some solid play on film as a rookie despite Bryce Young's struggles under center, however, so his spot in the wide receiver pecking order should remain stable heading into the team's second preseason game against the Jets on Aug. 17.

• Panthers' Jonathan Mingo: Initially listed as starter

  08/05/2024 • By RotoWire

  Mingo is listed as one of the first-team wide receivers on the Panthers' initial depth chart released ahead of the team's first preseason game Thursday against the Patriots. Mingo has been turning heads with his impressive play throughout Panthers camp, and it seems he's earned himself a spot as one of Carolina's starting wide receivers for the time being. He's slotted in ahead of 2024 first-round pick Xavier Legette (foot), who's dealt with a couple injuries now and has yet to make his presence felt. Mingo was listed as a starter on the Panthers' first depth chart during his rookie campaign as well, but he went on to struggle, posting a 43-418-0 receiving line while appearing in all 17 of Carolina's regular-season games. The Ole Miss product seems to have built more of a rapport with Bryce Young in their second offseason together, and he'll have the chance to continue turning heads as the preseason progresses.
