The Draft Day story is that Mingo was selected by the Panthers after owner David Tepper called up former star Steve Smith Sr. to ask which receiver he preferred, and this gave a new definition to being handpicked by the regime. Of course, Tepper brought aboard a new regime in Carolina after moving on from Frank Reich and hiring Dave Canales this offseason. Mingo will have a chance to develop his game and earn snaps after playing his best football as a rookie in the second half, but he'll have a tough time earning targets with the team using a first-round pick on Xavier Legette and trading for Diontae Johnson, as well as Adam Thielen returning. Mingo is unlikely to be drafted outside of deep-rostered leagues.
Mingo is back for his second second with the Panthers. The Ole Miss product had a decent rookie season despite playing for a dysfunctional offense in Carolina, finishing with 418 yards on 84 targets, though he never was able to find the end zone before going on IR in January due to a foot injury. He's a long shot for consistent usage in 2024 with veterans Adam Thielen and Diontae Johnson, as well as rookie Xavier Legette, in the fold. The former second-round pick is barely on the fantasy radar.
