Who Should I Start? Hunter Renfrow or Penny Hart

Sunday, September 7, 7:51 AM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Hunter Renfrow has an opportunity to be a factor in Week 1, but many uncertainties surrounding his situation makes him difficult to start right away against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 29-year-old missed all of 2024 with ulcerative colitis and was initially waived by Carolina, who signed him to the active roster only after dealing Adam Thielen to Minnesota and placing Jalen Coker (quadriceps) on IR. That places Renfrow as Carolina's projected top option in the slot, where he did most of his damage during his stint with the then-Oakland Raiders. The veteran has a 103-catch season to his name, but that was four years ago at this point. For now, Renfrow is mostly a DFS home-run swing or a stash in deeper dynasty formats.

Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said that wide receiver Penny Hart (head) was looked at and taken out of Friday night's preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals because of a concussion. Hart was targeted just once in the 13-13 tie and hit his head hard on the turf while trying to catch a pass from quarterback Taylor Heinicke. It's unclear what Hart's status is on Saturday and it remains unclear if he'll be cleared to play in the team's preseason finale on Thursday, Aug. 24, against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hart is currently off the fantasy radar while being buried on Atlanta's receiver depth chart behind Drake London, Mack Hollins, KhaDarel Hodge and others.
