2024 Fantasy Outlook
After trading outside linebacker Brian Burnes to the Giants in March, the Panthers made it a priority to fortify a seemingly weak room of pass rushers by adding both Wonnum and Jadeveon Clowney in free agency. Wonnum is coming off the most productive season of his young career, tallying 62 tackles, including 8.0 sacks, 38 pressures and seven passes defended in 15 games with the Vikings. He'll line up opposite Clowney for the Panthers defense in 2024, and the two should make an impact as a solid pass-rushing duo. Read Past Outlooks
Gets sack in season debut
Wonnum recorded six tackles (four solo) including 1.0 sacks, and a forced fumble during Sunday's 20-17 overtime win against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Wonnum was not fooled by an attempted flea flicker in the middle of the second quarter, turning the corner on Jermaine Eluemunor to get to Daniel Jones on third down and force a punt. The forced fumble was his first since back in 2022. He'll be looking to build on Sunday's momentum after Carolina's bye in Week 11.

After starting 16 games in 2021, Wonnum saw his role decreased for the Vikings last season. He totaled 38 tackles, including four sacks, while playing 16 games and starting just one. It looks like he will again play a rotational on the edge in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might begin camp on PUP list
Wonnum has missed the Panthers' offseason program while dealing with complications from quadriceps surgery, and he appears likely to begin training camp on the PUP list, Joseph Person of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old edge rusher was signed as a free agent in the offseason after recording eight sacks and a career-high 62 tackles with the Vikings in 2023. Wonnum has yet to practice with his new club, however, putting his availability for camp in serious doubt. He still has time to get healthy prior to Week 1, but he'll need to show progress soon.
