Haynes King: Haynes King Projected to Make Panthers 53-Man Roster

Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Haynes King (hamstring) was included in Joseph Person of The Athletic's latest 53-man roster projection. The Panthers have a clear QB1 in Bryce Young, and veteran Kenny Pickett looks like the favorite to open the year as the team's primary backup. Still, Person writes that King "could be the short-yardage and goal-line answer" that Carolina has been searching for in recent years. An undrafted free agent signee out of Georgia Tech, King ran for 953 yards and 15 touchdowns on 185 carries across 12 games in his final collegiate season. He also shined in Carolina's first preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals, recording over 200 combined passing and rushing yards and totaling three touchdowns. While King is unlikely to see fantasy-relevant playing time in 2026, his dual-threat ability gives him some long-term fantasy appeal in deeper dynasty leagues.
