Brandon Zylstra - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Makes two grabs Zylstra caught both his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Zylstra hadn't played in three weeks due to a hamstring injury, but he took advantage of both his pass-catching opportunities Sunday. As a depth wideout in an underwhelming passing game, however, Zylstra holds little weekly fantasy value.

Back on active roster Zylstra (hamstring) was removed from IR and placed onto the Panthers' active roster Saturday, Will Bryan of the team's official site reports.

Impact Zylstra ended up spending the minimum three weeks on IR after hurting his hamstring in Week 6. While his contributions on offense have been modest -- eight catches for 139 yards -- Zylstra is a key special teams player for the Panthers.

Designated to return from IR Zylstra (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since landing on the Panthers' injured reserve.

Impact Zylstra landed on the Panthers' injured reserve midway through October and finally seems healthy enough to return to practice. The Panthers have three weeks to activate their receiver to the active roster before he's stuck on injured reserve for the remainder of the year. Expect Zylstra's return to have a minimal impact on the Panthers' offense.

Lands on injured reserve The Panthers placed Zylstra on injured reserve Tuesday due to a hamstring injury.

Impact While Zylstra hasn't been a huge part of the offense this season, he does have a trio of multi-catch contests under his belt. The Panthers will be down some wide receiver depth as a result, with the Panthers using the roster spot to sign punter Ryan Winslow to the active roster.

Punter Ryan Winslow signed to active roster, Brandon Zylstra placed on injured reserve Carolina also added former running back Reggie Bonnafon back to the practice squad.

Ready to run: Panthers' offense will look 'vastly different'

Coach Matt Rhule promised the Carolina Panthers offense will take on a vastly different look moving forward after the team's third straight loss

OCTOBER 18, 2021 • Associated Press

Makes three grabs Zylstra caught all three of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 34-28 overtime loss against the Vikings.

Impact Zylstra trailed only DJ Moore for Carolina's team lead in receptions, and he's now hauled in all eight passes thrown his way this season. Although he usually holds minimal fantasy upside, Zylstra could see more playing time if rookie Terrace Marshall is unable to clear concussion protocol ahead of Week 7's matchup with the Giants.

OCTOBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to action Zylstra (hamstring) has returned to Sunday's game against the Vikings, according to Steve Reed of the Associated Press.

Impact Zylstra left the game in the first half, but the injury wasn't as serious as originally expected and he's managed to return to action.

OCTOBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined with hamstring issue Zylstra is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings due to a hamstring injury, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Zylstra has served as a depth receiver for the Panthers throughout the season but failed to record a reception Sunday prior to suffering the injury. Shi Smith and Alex Erickson could see an increased role if Zylstra remains sidelined.

OCTOBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Career-long grab Zylstra caught both his targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 36-28 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact Zylstra's output was supported by a career-long catch of 55 yards. Only DJ Moore outgained him through the air among Carolina receivers, but while Zylstra has been sprinkled in occasionally so far, his low overall involvement restricts his weekly value.

OCTOBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Scores rare touchdown Zylstra caught all three of his targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.

Impact Zylstra made the most of his 14 offensive snaps, hauling in the first receiving touchdown of his four-year career with a 20-yarder in the first quarter. As Carolina's fourth wideout, Zylstra can't be expected to match Sunday's production often, but his Week 2 impact should keep him in the mix for Sam Darnold.

FEBRUARY 22, 2021 • Associated Press

Re-ups with Panthers Carolina re-signed Zylstra to a one-year deal Monday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Zylstra has been a key contributor on special teams over three seasons with the Panthers, earning him a spot with the team in 2021 as well. With just three catches for 35 yards across 16 games in 2020, he remains off the fantasy radar.

FEBRUARY 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Completes full season Zylstra finished the 2020 season with three catches on four targets for 35 yards and one carry for one yard in 16 games played.

Impact Zylstra played sparingly on offense, but he actually scored his first career touchdown with a fumble recovery on special teams in Week 16's win over Washington. As a restricted free agent this offseason, it'll be interesting to see whether the Panthers bring Zylstra back to fill a similar role next season.

Scores on special teams Zylstra was not targeted but did recover a muffed punt for a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 win over Washington.

Impact Zylstra flew down the field and fell on a dropped punt that trickled into the end zone, opening the scoring for the Panthers. The veteran has caught just three passes this season, but Sunday's recovery at least gave him his first career touchdown.
