2025 Fantasy Outlook
Smith-Wade, a 2024 fifth-round pick from Washington State, looks to have earned the Panthers' starting slot corner role after a solid rookie campaign. The 22-year-old appeared in 14 games and made four starts, tallying 39 total tackles, one interception and one forced fumble over just 284 defensive snaps. Despite his starting role alongside outside corners Jaycee Horn and Michael Jackson, Smith-Wade's fantasy value likely will remain minimal in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
