Hendon Hooker joined Carolina's practice squad after preseason QB churn, signaling a long-range development plan behind Bryce Young and Andy Dalton. Perkins and Plummer were cut, opening a spot for Hooker’s growth as a potential future signal-caller. Hooker’s Tennessee tape and knee rehab are noted, but Carolina stresses patient development rather than immediate fantasy upside, with Young firmly at the helm and Dalton as the steady veteran backup.

Dynasty managers should view Hooker as a speculative stash, not a Week 1 contributor. The Panthers’ present plans keep Hooker off the fantasy radar in 2024 unless injury or collapse reshapes the depth chart. Jared Goff’s starter arc with Detroit is cited to frame Hooker’s current NFL exposure, reinforcing the broader point: Carolina is building depth and future upside more than immediate production.

Detroit's 53-man roster decisions trimmed Dan Skipper, Hendon Hooker, and Brodric Martin, with Skipper returning to the practice squad and Hooker/Martin moved on as the club fills the vacancy. Tim Patrick was traded to Jacksonville, and two defensive linemen were claimed while Daniel Thomas was signed to bolster front-line depth. The Lions eye Week 1 at Green Bay, balancing immediate needs with potential in-season tweaks.

Fantasy angle centers on WR depth after Patrick's exit and the impact of added DL bodies on the run and pass rush. With a vacancy still present, Detroit could pivot to surprise contributors or practice-squad moves that reshape the early-season pecking order while keeping Week 1 plans flexible against the Packers.
