Arizona hosts Carolina in Week 2 as Jonathan Gannon publicly treats the Panthers as a legitimate challenge, praising Bryce Young’s arm and his ability to beat you with both passing and rushing. Carolina’s offensive line gets a nod, signaling a balanced test for the Cardinals’ defense.

The conversation also touches Chuba Hubbard’s big-play potential against a team that’s still learning to stop the run, Tet McMillan’s contested-catch upside, and Jaycee Horn’s status as a premier corner. Arizona’s own run defense will be tested by Young’s mobility and Carolina’s versatile offense, making this a pivotal fantasy match for multiple roles.

For fantasy players, this game sharpens the lens on Young, Hubbard, and Horn as top targets, while McMillan could emerge as a sleeper after Week 2 if he continues to see red-zone looks. The tone suggests Week 2 could feature more dynamic film study and strategic adjustments than the box score alone would imply.
