2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wharton is one of two interior defensive linemen the Panthers signed this offseason, joining the team on a three-year, $54 million deal after spending his first five seasons in Kansas City. The 27-year-old is coming off the best season of his career, setting new personal bests in total tackles (29), sacks (6.5) and pass defenses (two). Now in Carolina, he's expected to serve as the team's top interior pass rusher and wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, $54 million contract with the Panthers in March of 2025.
Missing up to four weeks
Head coach Dave Canales told reporters Monday that Wharton (hamstring) is expected to miss 2-4 weeks, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Wharton, who signed a three-year, $54 million deal with the Panthers in March, played just 18 defensive snaps before sustaining a hamstring injury in the Week 1 loss to the Jaguars. The first-year Panther made a major impact while on the field, recording four total tackles. This is likely a substantial loss to a new-look Panthers defensive line that allowed a whopping 5.2 yards per carry in 2024 -- the worst mark in the NFL. Expect Jaden Crumedy to see increased work as a rotational defensive lineman while Wharton remains sidelined.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Wharton made a name for himself as a rookie despite going undrafted, ultimately claiming more snaps than Derrick Nnadi alongside star defensive tackle Chris Jones. Wharton used the snaps to accumulate 27 tackles (14 solo), two sacks and a forced fumble, but he faces even more competition in 2021 following the team's offseason addition of Jarran Reed.
