Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro continues to skip the portion of the team's voluntary offseason program, which has allowed undrafted rookie Harrison Mevis to shine during organized team activities. Mevis made all five of his field-goal attempts on Monday, including a long of 47 yards. Pineiro is the league's 21st-highest-paid kicker and is in the final year of his two-year, $4.1 million deal. "I'm sure Eddy has a plan for this whole thing," head coach Dave Canales said. The 28-year-old veteran missed the final two games in 2023 for the Panthers with a hamstring injury, but he's likely healthy now and should report for mandatory minicamp next month. Carolina's offense should improve with more offensive weapons in quarterback Bryce Young's second season in 2024, but fantasy managers in standard-sized leagues can avoid Pineiro on draft day.

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) is officially inactive for Week 18 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This news was widely expected after the Panthers listed him as doubtful heading into the weekend. The 28-year-old had appeared in Carolina's previous 16 games this season, converting 86 percent of his field goals. This week, he'll be replaced by Matthew Wright, who remains off the fantasy radar given the Panthers' ongoing offensive struggles.

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) missed practice all week due to his right-hamstring injury and is doubtful to kick in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 28-year-old kicker will wrap up the 2023 season with two straight missed games to close out the year. Overall, he made 25 of his 29 field-goal attempts (86.2 percent) while missing three of his 20 extra-point tries over 15 games played. With Pineiro unlikely to play this weekend, the Panthers will elevate Matthew Wright from their practice squad to the active roster for the final game of the season. Fantasy managers in DFS or those still playing for a championship in Week 18 should be looking to avoid Wright.

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) did not practice for the second day this week while nursing a hamstring injury. Pineiro strained the muscle during pregame warmups ahead of Week 17's contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars and was held out of the game. Kickoff duties were handled by linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill and there were no extra-point or field goal opportunities in that game. The Panthers signed Matthew Wright to their practice squad on Tuesday in case Pineiro can't recover in time to play in the season finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro did not attempt a kick in his team's 26-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17 as he felt tightness in his hamstring during pre-game warmups and did not play. The veteran kicker is still dealing with tightness in his hamstring as he did not participate in practice on Wednesday as the Panthers began preparing to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the regular-season finale. Carolina signed Matthew Wright to their practice squad on Tuesday as a backup plan in case Pineiro is unable to play in Week 18. Stay tuned to Carolina's practice reports for the remainder of the week.

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro made his lone field goal and hit one of his three extra points in a loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. Pineiro has now made 25 of his 29 field goals and 17 of 20 extra points for the Panthers in 2023. In Week 17 he will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road. The Jaguars have been tough on kickers in 2023 as they are allowing just the 24th-most fantasy points per game to the position. The Carolina offense hasn't been a high-scoring unit this season which caps Pineiro's upside most weeks. He is not a recommended fantasy option heading into the fantasy championship round of the playoffs.

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro made all three of his field goals in a 9-7 win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15. The veteran kicker has been a reliable option for the Panthers in 2023 as he's made 24 of his 28 field goals and all but one of his 17 extra-point tries. Pineiro will look for another productive game in Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers. The Packers have been solid against kickers this season as they are allowing just the 20th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Pineiro is not a recommended fantasy option heading into the fantasy playoff semifinals.

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro made two of his three field goals, including a 47-yarder, in a 28-6 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 14. The veteran has been solid for the Panthers this season, with 21 field goals in 25 attempts thus far. In Week 15 he will take on the Atlanta Falcons at home in a divisional matchup. Atlanta is allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to kickers in 2023. That being said, the Carolina offense has been one of the worst in the league and can't be trusted to provide Pineiro with consistent field-goal-kicking opportunities. Treat him as a low-end fantasy option in Week 15.

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro made his lone field goal and added an extra point in his team's Week 13 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Pineiro has been mostly accurate in his second season with the Panthers as he's made 19 of his 22 field goals and missed just one of his 17 extra points. He will head on the road to take on the New Orleans Saints in Week 14. The Saints have been league-average against kickers this season as they are allowing the 16th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Pineiro is tough to trust in fantasy due to a poor Carolina offense that has generally struggled to move the ball this season.
