NFL futures: Two Carolina Panthers bets to make

Two future bets on the Carolina Panthers

Fewest wins in NFL (+550 DraftKings)

We're sorry, Panthers fans, but it's far more likely to be another rough season incoming than a sudden resurgence in play.

Bryce Young just looked flat-out bad last season. These games were tough to watch, and since they didn't have that first overall pick to replenish with a young stud prospect, the turnaround time could be slower than we typically see from a team that was the worst in the NFL the year prior.

The defense has lost key pieces, and we're not seeing a dynamic threat on this offense that can lift the group to new heights. Expect another tough one coming in Carolina.

Diontae Johnston to have 1000+ receiving yards on the season (+220 DraftKings)

In a world where Carolina is consistently trailing and losing games, it goes without saying they'll need to pass plenty. That's where new WR Diontae Johnson slides in, likely to be Bryce Young's most-targeted option in the passing game.

Johnson has proven to be a reliable volume pass-catcher from the WR position, and with the expected volume coming his way, crossing the 1000-yard mark seems like a solid bet, especially at this price.

Competitors for volume will come from a 34-year old Adam Thielen and a rookie in Xavier Legette. We'll take our chances on Johnson leading the group.
