Panthers at Cardinals in Week 2 centers on containing Kyler Murray’s improv magic and slowing Budda Baker’s impact. Bryce Young will lean on Tetairoa McMillan as a rising Week 2 target after a solid opener, while Carolina tries to ride improved talent to a road win. A December shootout between these teams weighs on both sides: the key is discipline against Baker and converting long drives for Young.

Baker’s veteran versatility remains the anchor for Arizona’s defense, and Murray’s mobility keeps Carolina unsettled. For fantasy managers, Baker provides a stabilizing floor against a rookie, McMillan offers a cheap mid-round ceiling, and Murray’s volatility makes Cardinals’ pass-game options intriguing but risky.
