Cowboys' Jonathan Mingo: Shipped to Dallas
The Dallas Cowboys acquired Jonathan Mingo and a 2025 seventh-round draft pick from the Panthers on Tuesday in exchange for a 2025 fourth-round draft pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.The No. 39 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Mingo struggled to find his footing during his one and a half seasons in Carolina, turning in a 55-539-0 receiving line on 111 targets over 24 games. Though he was never a high-end producer during his time in college at Ole Miss, Mingo was a coveted pre-draft prospect thanks to his good size (6-foot-2, 220 pounds) as well as the intriguing athleticism he displayed at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine (4.46-second 40-yard dash time, 39.5-inch vertical leap). The Cowboys are hoping that a change in scenery will help Mingo unlock some of his potential, but his immediate outlook isn't promising with Cooper Rush slated to take over at quarterback with Dak Prescott (hamstring) likely to go on injured reserve and miss at least four games. Mingo will likely slot in behind at least CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Tolbert on Dallas' depth chart at receiver, but he could push 2023 seventh-round pick Jalen Brooks for the No. 3 role.

Panthers' Jonathan Mingo: Afterthought vs. Falcons
Jonathan Mingo caught his only target for one yard in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Falcons.The Ole Miss product had the opportunity to step up and serve as the Carolina Panthers' No. 3 wide receiver while Adam Thielen (hamstring) was sidelined in Week 6. However, Mingo was out-produced by both Jalen Coker (30 yards) and David Moore (17 yards) in addition to Diontae Johnson (78 yards) and Xavier Legette (23 yards), so it appears he's an afterthought in Carolina's wide receiver corps. Mingo will look to rebound in the Panthers' Week 7 matchup against the Commanders.

Panthers' Jonathan Mingo: Struggles again in Week 5
Jonathan Mingo caught two of his five targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 36-10 loss to the Bears.Mingo tied Ja'Tavion Sanders for the second-most targets on the team and saw increased snaps in the second half while Xavier Legette (shoulder) was sidelined during Sunday's loss. However, it didn't lead to increased production, as the second-year wideout was able to haul in just two of his five targets. If Legette is forced to miss Carolina's Week 6 matchup against the Falcons, Mingo could have a chance to break out and serve as the Carolina Panthers' No. 2 wide receiver.

Panthers' Jonathan Mingo: Catches three passes in loss
Jonathan Mingo caught three of his five targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Bengals.Mingo served as the Carolina Panthers' No. 3 wide receiver Sunday with Adam Thielen (hamstring) on injured reserve, but that still didn't lead to increased production. Andy Dalton targeted Diontae Johnson or Xavier Legette on 23 of his 40 pass attempts, and those two combined for 149 of Dalton's 220 passing yards. Despite Mingo's increased playing time over the next couple of weeks, he still appears to be an afterthought in the team's offensive gameplan, with Johnson, Legette and Chuba Hubbard handling almost all the work in Week 4.

Panthers' Jonathan Mingo: Locked into three-wide role
Jonathan Mingo is expected to take on a regular role in three-receiver sets after the Carolina Panthers placed Adam Thielen (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.In the Panthers' Week 3 win over the Raiders, Mingo played 49 of the team's 74 offensive snaps (66 percent) and logged a 3-18-0 receiving line on four targets. While Thielen left the game in the second quarter with a hamstring injury, Mingo didn't benefit from a major spike in playing time in the second half, as rookie Xavier Legette was instead the preferred No. 2 wideout alongside top target Diontae Johnson when the Panthers fielded two receivers and two tight ends. Mingo may not be in store for a notable uptick in his snap count if that trend holds, but his route participation and opportunities to earn targets could still increase to some degree while Thielen is out of the picture.

Panthers' Jonathan Mingo: Four touches versus Vegas
Jonathan Mingo caught three of his four targets for 18 yards and rushed once for two yards during Sunday's 36-22 win over the Raiders.The second-year wideout saw increased opportunities with Adam Thielen (hamstring) missing the second half of Sunday's contest. Mingo played the second-most snaps (49) of any Carolina Panthers wide receiver in Week 3, which bodes well for his fantasy value if Thielen is forced to miss more time. Andy Dalton taking over as Carolina's top signal-caller changes the Panthers' offense entirely, and Mingo will have the opportunity to continue building rapport with his new quarterback in Week 4 against the Bengals.

Panthers' Jonathan Mingo: Just one catch in Week 2
Jonathan 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 Carolina Panthers' No. 3 or 4 wide receiver when the team travels to Las Vegas in Week 3.

Panthers' Jonathan Mingo: Struggles in Week 1
Jonathan 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 Carolina 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
Jonathan 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 Carolina 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
Jonathan Mingo failed to bring in his only target in the Carolina 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.
