Panthers QB Jake Delhomme threw in individual drills during the team's three-day minicamp but sat out team work as he recovers from elbow surgery. He is still expected to be ready for the start of the 2008 season. (Updated 05/05/2008).
Injury Report
Right elbow - Questionable for the start of 2008 training camp (Updated - 1/11/08)
Fantasy Analysis
We were reminded quickly just how vital Delhomme was to the Panthers' success. With him, they were a powerful offense capable of posting plenty of points. Without him, they were a disaster. No one knew this fact more than Steve Smith, who scored four of his seven touchdowns with Delhomme under center. He'll be entering his 10th NFL season, but just his sixth as a starting QB (technically his fifth; he was the Panthers backup QB for half a game in 2003). Delhomme has been beaten up over the last two years, but expect him to play healthy behind a good offensive line in 2008, making him quite a sleeper as a top-end No. 2 Fantasy QB worth a middle- to late-round pick in drafts. If that arm comes around, watch out! (Updated 05/05/2008).
QB Jake Delhomme threw for three straight days at minicamp this past weekend, looking strong while throwing mostly passes of distances not exceeding 20 yards. Delhomme did throw some 30- and 40-yard passes on the final day of minicamp. Delhomme worked only in individual drills at last Friday's minicamp, but could return to team work when the Panthers reconvene for OTAs in June. "He's looked very, very good," coach John Fox said. "His arm looks stronger than it has every looked." 05/08/2008
