1. D.J. Moore will go over 1,500 yards receiving

The Panthers didn’t sign Robby Anderson in free agency to be the team’s No. 1 wideout. Everyone in Carolina is already comfortable that D.J. Moore can fill that role.

Despite all of the team’s inconsistency at quarterback last year, Moore still managed to catch 87 passes for 1,175 yards. It’s interesting to consider what he might be able to accomplish with competent quarterback play.

That’s exactly what he’s going to get from Bridgewater in 2020. Moore is in line to be the top receiver for an offense that will need to throw the ball a ton. The Panthers are going to be behind in a lot of games due to their defensive issues.

Next. Panthers sign Robby Anderson: Grade, reaction and more. dark

That gives Moore a chance to break out and become one of the most productive receivers in the entire NFL. Look for him to break the 100 catch mark and go over 1,500 yards receiving as well. The Panthers won’t be good this year, but their offense will be fun to watch. Moore’s ascension to legitimate stardom will get them something to build on moving forward.
