Reggie Bonnafon News
Carolina Panthers running back Reggie Bonnafon was listed as the backup running back on the unofficial depth chart, which was released by the team Tuesday. Bonnafon only appeared in two games for Carolina last year, as he dealt with a high-ankle sprain. The team spent a fourth-round draft pick on Oklahoma State running back Chuba Hubbard, who had a 2,000-yard rushing season back in 2019, though Bonnafon seems to be doing enough at camp so far to hold off the rookie. While Christian McCaffrey shouldn't suddenly be considered injury-prone, the 2020 season showed just how important the backup running back could be in Carolina, as Mike Davis filled in for the All-Pro and put together a fine season. Whoever emerges as the second-string halfback, Bonnafon or Hubbard, will likely rank fairly high on the list of running back insurance policies in fantasy football.
Carolina Panthers running back Reggie Bonnafon carried the ball 10 times for 53 rushing yards and caught two passes for 18 yards and a touchdown. Bonnafon ripped off a couple long runs in this one and looked good. He'll never get an easier touchdown than his receiving score, as he was left wide open by the Cardinals Defense. Fellow back Mike Davis has dominated the backfield touches, though it's quite possible that Bonnafon cut himself a little more of a share. Still, it's clear Carolina prefers Davis as the lead dog, so Bonnafon likely won't have much more value than a change-of-pace guy, barring an injury to Davis.
The Carolina Panthers have promoted running back Reggie Bonnafon to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. With Christian McCaffrey on the injured reserve, making this move seems like an obvious choice. Many expected Bonnafon to be the primary backup to McCaffrey this season, but he was passed by both Mike Davis and Trenton Cannon on the depth chart and wound up on the Carolina practice squad. Don't expect more than a handful of touches at most for Bonnafon, whose addition shouldn't impact Mike Davis's workload.
