Pro Football Focus has been rating player performance for quite a while now. Here is how they grade player performances. I acknowledge not everyone buys into the PFF grading system but I think they are at least consistent and tend to align with what I see on the field.
Here are the top five graded Panthers through 14 games (minimum 300 snaps).
No. 5 Mike Davis: 77.5

Where would be without Mike Davis filling in for the injured Christian McCaffrey? Davis picked a great year to have a career year.
