NFL DRAFT ROOKIE GUIDE IS NOW LIVE!
The Carolina Panthers placed rookie wide receiver Jonathan Mingo (foot) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday with a foot injury and signed veteran running back Mike Boone to their practice squad in a corresponding move. Mingo will now miss the final game of his rookie season in Week 18 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 22-year-old second-rounder predictably had an inconsistent first year in the NFL while working with struggling first-round quarterback Bryce Young. In 15 games played, Mingo caught 43 of his 85 targets for 418 yards and no touchdowns. Mingo and Young will continue to work on their chemistry this offseason in hopes of connecting more often in 2024. With Mingo sidelined this weekend, Terrance Marshall Jr. should be active, while Ihmir Smith-Marsette and Mike Strachan should have bigger roles behind Adam Thielen and DJ Chark Jr.

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Jonathan Mingo didn't make an impact at all in the team's 26-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in Week 17, catching two of his three targets for a gain of zero yards. The poor performance for the 22-year-old first-year player came a week after he caught his only target for a nine-yard gain. Mingo and first-year quarterback Bryce Young have a lot of maturing to do in the coming seasons and could form a nice bond eventually, but it has been entirely inconsistent for fantasy managers this year. The Mississippi product has not found the end zone in his first 15 NFL games and had 43 receptions on 85 targets for 418 yards. Mingo is seeing his fair share of playing time in his rookie campaign, but he won't be a realistic starting option for fantasy lineups in Week 18 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo drew just one target last week in a loss to the Green Bay Packers. The single-target game broke a streak of six straight games with at least five targets for the rookie wideout. Mingo will look to bounce back against the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road in Week 17. The Jaguars have been a plus matchup for receivers as they are allowing the eighth-most fantasy points per game to the position this season. Despite the favorable matchup, Mingo is not a recommended fantasy option heading into the championship round of the fantasy playoffs.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo has slowly seen his role grow as the season has progressed. The rookie has now drawn at least six targets in five of his past six contests as he prepares to take on the Green Bay Packers at home in Week 16. The Packers have been tough on opposing wide receivers as they are allowing just the 19th-most fantasy points per game to the position in 2023. Thanks to a struggling Carolina offense and the tough matchup against the Packers, Mingo sets up as a low-upside flex option in fantasy heading into Week 16.
Dec 23, 2023 6:57 AM EST
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo caught four of his five targets for 32 yards in a 9-7 win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15. Mingo's four catches tied with Adam Thielen for the team lead in the low-scoring win over their division rivals. The rookie wideout has seen an uptick in work over the past six games as this was his first time with less than six targets over that span. That being said, he is still looking for his first touchdown this season. Mingo will be a low-end flex heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
Dec 17, 2023 4:40 PM EST
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo has been trending up in recent weeks as he's drawn 25 targets over his past three games while reaching at least 60 receiving yards twice over that span. He will look to stay hot in Week 15 against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons have been tough on fantasy wideouts this season as they are allowing just the 29th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Mingo isn't a must-start by any means but the volume and usage have been there of late, putting him in play as a desperation flex for teams hit by the injury bug as the fantasy playoffs begin in most leagues.
Dec 16, 2023 7:10 AM EST
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo caught two of his nine targets for 22 yards in a 28-6 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 14. Mingo's nine targets led the team but he and Bryce Young struggled to get on the same page in a game where Young completed only 13 of his 36 passes. Mingo has been seeing more work of late as he's drawn 22 total targets over his past three games. The rookie wideout will take on the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15.
Dec 10, 2023 6:06 PM EST
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo has shown some signs of life of late as he's caught 10 of 16 targets for 129 yards over his past two games. He will look to keep it going on the road against the New Orleans Saints in Week 14. The Saints will be a good test for Mingo as they are allowing just the 29th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers in 2023. Despite his recent uptick in production, Mingo will be tough to trust against the Saints in Week 14. Treat him as a desperation flex heading into the weekend.
Dec 9, 2023 7:01 AM EST
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo caught six of his 10 targets for 69 yards in a 21-18 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. Mingo wound up leading the Panthers in catches, targets, and receiving yards in the loss to the Buccaneers while also setting career highs in those three categories. The rookie has been seeing an increased role of late as he has 10 catches for 129 yards combined over his past two games. Mingo will look to stay hot against the New Orleans Saints in Week 14.
Dec 3, 2023 10:58 PM EST
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo is coming off one of his better games of the season as he caught four passes for 60 yards in a Week 12 loss to the Tennessee Titans. He will look to stay hot in Week 13's road matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay has been generous to opposing wideouts in 2023 as they are allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Mingo hasn't been consistent enough to trust as a must-start in Week 13 but he is on the map as a flex option thanks to the favorable matchup against Tampa.
Dec 2, 2023 7:55 AM EST
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo (Achilles) was limited in Thursday's practice ahead of the team's Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mingo has had a quiet debut season and given the state of Carolina's weak offense there is little hope down the stretch for a true breakout. In Week 12 he came close to matching his season-high of 62 yards with a four-catch, 60-yard performance against the Tennessee Titans. The rookie was a new addition to the injury report so Friday's report will clear the picture regarding his status for Sunday's game. If the issue lingers and he is limited or out against the Bucs, DJ Chark and Terrace Marshall should see a bit more work.
Nov 30, 2023 3:10 PM EST
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo caught four of his six targets for 60 yards in a 17-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 12. Mingo led the team in targets and receiving yards while falling just two yards shy of tying his career high. The Panthers made it a priority to get the ball to Mingo while they only sent three targets to Adam Thielen in Week 12. If the 1-10 Panthers continue to play the young guys, Mingo could have some low-end fantasy value over the final stretch of the season. He will look to stay hot against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13.
Nov 26, 2023 9:57 PM EST
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo will face off against the Dallas Cowboys at home in Week 11. Mingo has been quiet in his rookie year, having caught just four passes for 25 yards over his past two games. Mingo won't find things any easier in Week 11 as the Cowboys are allowing the third-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers this season. With D.J. Chark Jr. also returning from an elbow injury that held him out of Week 10, fantasy managers would be best served to avoid Mingo in their starting lineups this weekend.
Nov 16, 2023 6:50 PM EST
Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Jonathan Mingo failed to take advantage of DJ Chark Jr. (elbow) being out in the 16-13 loss to the Chicago Bears on Thursday Night Football. Mingo finished with three catches on seven targets for only 20 yards. The seven targets were second-most on the team behind Adam Thielen's 10, but like most of the year, the 22-year-old failed to do much with rookie quarterback Bryce Young mostly struggling for any kind of consistency. With extra time to rest before a Week 11 clash with the Dallas Cowboys, Chark has a good chance to return, which will make Mingo even less attractive as a deep-league flex option.
Nov 10, 2023 12:28 PM EST
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo will take on the Chicago Bears on the road in Week 10's Thursday game. Mingo had a quiet Week 9 as he caught just one of his four targets for five yards in a loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The rookie could see a larger role in Week 10 depending on the availability of D.J. Chark Jr. (elbow), who missed practice all week with an elbow issue and is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game. If Chark ultimately doesn't play against the Bears, Mingo would be a boom/bust flex option against a Chicago defense that is allowing the 15th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts. If Chark does end up playing, Mingo can be left on fantasy benches.
Nov 8, 2023 8:43 PM EST
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo will take on the Indianapolis Colts at home in Week 9. Mingo is coming off the best game of his career as he caught four passes for 62 yards in a win over the Houston Texans last week. He will look to stay hot against a Colts secondary that is allowing the 15th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts in 2023. Mingo isn't a safe fantasy option with Adam Thielen hogging most of the work in Carolina but he's on the radar as a desperation flex heading into Week 9.
Nov 3, 2023 6:24 PM EST
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo comes out of his bye week to take on the Houston Texans in Week 8. Mingo has been quiet thus far in his rookie season, having caught just 15 passes for 133 yards and zero touchdowns in five games. He could start playing a larger role on offense, however, after having a Week 7 bye to further acclimate himself to the offense. He does draw a tough matchup in Week 8 against a Houston Texans defense that is allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts, so this is probably not the week to play him outside of very deep leagues. Mingo is best left on the bench heading into Week 8's contests.
Oct 27, 2023 6:31 AM EST
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo returned from a Week 4 concussion to play a full-time role in a Week 5 loss to the Detroit Lions. Mingo will now head on the road to face off against the Miami Dolphins in Week 6. Miami has one of the highest-scoring offenses in the league, which will put pressure on the Panthers to throw frequently, a fact that benefits secondary receivers like Mingo. Overall, the Dolphins are allowing the 14th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Mingo isn't a safe play by any stretch but he is on the radar as a desperation flex for fantasy managers who have been hit hard by injuries or Week 6 byes.
Oct 13, 2023 7:46 AM EST
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo (concussion) will play in a road game against the Detroit Lions in Week 5. Mingo missed Week 4's loss to the Minnesota Vikings after suffering a concussion in the previous game. He comes into Week 5 without an injury designation and appears to be all systems go for his team's matchup against Detroit. The Lions are allowing the 17th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers through four games. Mingo was playing a lot of snaps before the injury but was unable to translate that playing time into much production on the field, with just eight receptions for 64 yards across three contests. He sets up as a WR5 in fantasy for Week 5.
Oct 7, 2023 8:21 AM EST
Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Jonathan Mingo (concussion) has officially been ruled out for the Week 4 game on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Mingo suffered a concussion in the Week 3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and was unable to clear the concussion protocol before this Sunday's game. He was only able to get in a limited practice this week, so it remains to be seen if he'll be able to return for a Week 5 matchup against the Lions in Detroit. Mingo has gotten off to a slow start in his first three NFL games and is really only worth stashing in dynasty/keeper leagues for now. With Mingo out, Terrace Marshall Jr. should serve as Carolina's No. 3 wideout against Minnesota behind Adam Thielen and DJ Chark Jr.
