2024 Fantasy Outlook
Coming off a career season in 2022, when he recorded 135 tackles, Thompson fractured his fibula at the beginning of Carolina's 2023 campaign and missed the team's final 15 games. The 30-year-old inside linebacker now has moved past his injury and is poised for another big role this year, especially after the Panthers lost his co-star Frankie Luvu to the Commanders in free agency.

Impresses again in Week 2
Thompson recorded 14 total tackles (eight solo) during Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Despite Carolina's defensive struggles, Thompson has remained a bright spot, racking up an impressive 24 total stops across the team's first two contests. The veteran inside linebacker has now generated game-high tackle totals in both Week 1 and Week 2, and he's expected to continue being a valuable IDP option as the Panthers travel to Las Vegas in Week 3.

Thompson's eighth season as a pro in 2022 saw him post his highest tackle tally yet, as he led the Panthers with 135 stops in 17 games. In doing so, he now sports four straight campaigns with triple-digit tackles. With Carolina reworking his contract this offseason, Thompson will remain with the team for the coming campaign. His leadership and playmaking figure to be key as the defense transitions to new coordinator Ejiro Evero's 3-4 scheme. Along with a healthy Jeremy Chinn, Thompson once again is a top candidate to pace the Panthers in tackles.
