Raheem Blackshear Could Have Bigger Role In 2023
1 year agoCarolina Panthers running back Raheem Blackshear could be in line to see a bigger role in the offense this year under new head coach Frank Reich. The coaching staff has liked what they've seen so far from Blackshear in offseason workouts after he was signed by the team last September. The 25-year-old former undrafted free agent played in 13 games (one start) in 2022 and had just 23 carries for 77 yards and three touchdowns while adding 10 receptions for 93 yards. D'Onta Foreman is now gone, but the Panthers added Miles Sanders as their lead back for the 2023 campaign. Chuba Hubbard is also still around, but Blackshear could carve out a bigger pass-catching role behind Sanders this year, making him one to keep an eye on in deep PPR fantasy leagues.
