Returns to NFL with Carolina
Perkins, who is the reigning UFL MVP, is signing a contract with the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Perkins joins Carolina after the team's No. 2 quarterback Andy Dalton suffered an elbow sprain during Saturday's 20-3 preseason loss to Houston. The UFL star last spent time in the NFL as a backup with the Rams in 2022, when he completed 19 of 34 passes for 161 yards in five appearances. He won the UFL Championship with the Michigan Panthers this spring, completing 69 percent of his passes while throwing for 1,342 yards and nine touchdowns and running for five more TDs. He also was named league MVP and Offensive Player of the Year. The 28-year-old Perkins will provide extra depth behind starter Bryce Young. Second-year quarterback Jack Plummer is on the roster as well.

2020 Fantasy Outlook
While high-end athleticism is Perkins' calling card, he still has a steep developmental curve ahead to succeed at the highest level. His running ability and elusiveness in the open field will challenge defenses, and he's capable of delivering accurate passes from various arm angles and with both touch and strength. Still, he was turnover prone and inconsistent through his two seasons as a starter with Virginia, and he has to work on going through his progressions and reading NFL defenses. It would be surprising if Perkins didn't earn a roster spot because of his dynamic skill set, but he's also a long way from being a viable fantasy asset.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Attending Giants' minicamp
Perkins will attend minicamp with the Giants, per MLFootball.
ANALYSIS
Perkins appeared in five games with the Rams in 2022. Beating out Tyrod Taylor for the backup spot behind Daniel Jones will be tough, but Perkins could earn himself a spot on New York's practice squad with a strong camp.
