2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wharton is one of two interior defensive linemen the Panthers signed this offseason, joining the team on a three-year, $54 million deal after spending his first five seasons in Kansas City. The 27-year-old is coming off the best season of his career, setting new personal bests in total tackles (29), sacks (6.5) and pass defenses (two). Now in Carolina, he's expected to serve as the team's top interior pass rusher and wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks in 2025. Read Past Outlooks

December 26, 2025
Wharton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Wharton will end up missing a third consecutive game due to a hamstring injury, which means Bobby Brown, Cam Jackson and LaBryan Ray are all in line for more defensive snaps Sunday. Wharton will aim to progress enough in his recovery to be available for the Panthers' regular-season finale against the Buccaneers in Week 18, a game that could decide who wins the NFC South division.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Wharton made a name for himself as a rookie despite going undrafted, ultimately claiming more snaps than Derrick Nnadi alongside star defensive tackle Chris Jones. Wharton used the snaps to accumulate 27 tackles (14 solo), two sacks and a forced fumble, but he faces even more competition in 2021 following the team's offseason addition of Jarran Reed.
