POSITION REVIEW: In a season filled with upheaval and injury, Devin Funchess emerged as the Panthers' clear No. 1 wide receiver based on the current makeup of the roster. Carolina traded its previous top target, Kelvin Benjamin, halfway through the season, and Funchess seamlessly slid to the "X" position and responded with 17 catches for 286 yards and two touchdowns in the three games following the trade. A shoulder injury slowed him down the stretch, but he was the lucky one relatively speaking as speedsters Curtis Samuel and Damiere Byrd flashed their potential but were both limited to essentially half the season because of injury issues.
