Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
Corbett appeared in just four regular-season games in 2023 due to ACL and MCL issues, but he's expected to be ready for the start the Panthers' 2024 campaign. With Carolina spending big on a pair of free-agent guards this past offseason, Corbett is making a positional change. He's expected to start at center for the first time in his career ahead of the coming season.
Corbett started all 17 games but tore his ACL in Week 18 of last season, which will likely sideline him to begin the 2023 campaign. While he's out, Justin McCray and Michael Jordan figure to provide alternatives at right guard.
Corbett started all 17 games for the Super Bowl-Champion Rams last season. He then inked a three-year, $29.25 million contract with the Panthers this offseason, setting him up for a starting guard role ahead of the 2022 campaign.
A 16-game starter at right guard in 2020, Corbett shifted to center during spring minicamps and appears to be the leading candidate to start at the position after fellow center Brian Allen ran with the second offense. The Rams offensive line is looking to deploy a schematic shift favoring Corbett's powerful base, and he's coming off an excellent season. If he doesn't stick at center, Corbett would likely return to starting at right guard.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Nearing next steps in recovery
CCarolina Panthers
October 14, 2025
The Panthers are planning to open the practice window for Corbett on Wednesday, Darin Gannt of the team's official reports.
ANALYSIS
Corbett has been sidelined since Week 2 due to an MCL injury. He was given a 6-8 week timeline to return, and it looks like he could return toward the earlier end of that timeline. Corbett can practice for up to 21 days before being activated, so it may still take a few weeks for Carolina's starting center to return to game action.
