RAHEEM BLACKSHEAR NEWS

Gets another TD Blackshear rushed three times for three yards and a touchdown in Week 16's 37-23 win over the Lions. He also caught his only target for 12 yards.

Impact Blackshear has now found pay dirt in back-to-back games, with his latest touchdown opening the scoring from seven yards in the first quarter. Although his involvement was restricted on a day when top tailbacks D'Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard both rushed for at least 125 yards, Blackshear has done well from his third-string role of late.

Scores in win Blackshear rushed four times for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Seahawks. He also caught his only target for 17 yards.

Impact Blackshear made a big impact from his third-string role, helping seal the game with an eight-yard touchdown run during the fourth quarter. With D'Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard ahead of him, Blackshear's opportunities should remain limited going forward, but his efficiency Sunday could keep him involved with spare snaps in Week 15 versus the Steelers.

Fumbles in win Blackshear didn't get any carries but caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Broncos. He also gained 44 yards on five punt returns but lost a fumble.

Impact Blackshear played just three offensive snaps, minimizing his contribution. Although he was promoted to Carolina's punt returner following Shi Smith's fumbles in Week 11, a second-quarter muff caused Blackshear to temporarily be replaced by Smith for one return. While Blackshear later reclaimed the role and had a 21-yard return earlier, his miscue leaves an area to monitor on special teams once the Panthers reconvene from their bye week.

Gets two touches Blackshear caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 13-3 loss to the Ravens.

Impact Blackshear played 11 offensive snaps but didn't get any carries behind D'Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard. He holds minimal value heading into Week 12's matchup versus the Broncos.

Gets six carries Blackshear rushed six times for 32 yards in Thursday night's 25-15 win over the Falcons.

Impact Blackshear ranked third among Carolina's tailbacks in snaps but garnered one more carry than backup Chuba Hubbard. Although Hubbard returning from an ankle injury gives the Panthers more quality depth behind starter D'Onta Foreman -- who rushed 31 times for 130 yards and a touchdown Thursday -- Blackshear remaining in the rotation helps preserve a bit of fantasy value.

Raheem Blackshear leans on veteran knowledge D'Onta Foreman has taken on a mentorship role with the rookie running back, and Foreman's guidance has gone a long way to help Blackshear.

Scores first touchdown Blackshear rushed five times for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Bengals. He also caught all four of his targets for 40 yards.

Impact Blackshear, a rookie from Virginia Tech, scored the first touchdown of his career with a two-yard rush late in the fourth quarter. Although the blowout nature of Sunday's game resulted in Blackshear getting more involved, it was nonetheless his best performance as a pro. In playing four more offensive snaps than fellow tailback Spencer Brown, Blackshear's usage could be interesting to monitor in Week 10's Thursday night game versus the Falcons, when Chuba Hubbard (ankle) may remain sidelined behind starter D'Onta Foreman.

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Only two carries Blackshear rushed two times for one yard in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Falcons.

Impact Blackshear played only nine offensive snaps, featuring for less than both starter D'Onta Foreman and practice-squad call up Spencer Brown. Although Brown reverted back to the practice team Monday, his six carries for 27 yards could make him Carolina's preferred backup for Foreman should Chuba Hubbard (ankle) remain sidelined for Week 9's game versus the Bengals.

Preparing for larger role Interim head coach Steve Wilks said Friday he has a "lot of confidence" in Blackshear, who will handle an increased role Sunday against the Falcons with Chuba Hubbard (ankle) ruled...

Impact The undrafted rookie out of Virginia Tech initially earned a practice squad spot in Buffalo before signing with the Panthers on Sept. 21. A little more than a month later, Blackshear played his first offensive snaps in the NFL, taking two carries for a loss of five yards in a 21-3 win over the Buccaneers in Week 7. He also has eight kick returns for 224 yards this season, and his role this Sunday could include a considerable amount of the work on passing downs. D'Onta Foreman is the likely starter and lead runner, after taking 17 touches for 145 yards in the win over Tampa Bay. Wilks said Spencer Brown may be called up from the practice squad to provide the team with a third healthy back this weekend.

Gets first carries Blackshear lost five yards on his two carries in Sunday's 21-3 win over the Buccaneers.

Impact Blackshear was handed the first touches of his NFL career after the Panthers traded star tailback Christian McCaffrey late last week. While D'Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard split most of the backfield workload in the wake of McCaffrey's departure, Blackshear got involved for a little bit during the second half Sunday, when Hubbard exited due to an ankle injury. Should Hubbard be slowed ahead of Week 8's matchup versus the Buccaneers, Blackshear could get more reps than usual, but his fantasy stock is otherwise rather restricted.

Could have role on O moving forward Blackshear is likely to see more touches on offense in the aftermath of Christian McCaffrey being traded to San Francisco, Ellis Williams of the Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact D'Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard may not be the only beneficiaries of the star running back's departure. Williams believes Blackshear will be used as a receiving threat out of the backfield. The former Bills practice squad member has showcased the ability to make people miss in the open field as a return man on special teams.

Impact Blackshear was signed off the Bills' practice squad Wednesday. What role he may ultimately earn with the Panthers remains to be seen, however the rookie will sit for his first game with the team.

Joins Carolina's active roster The Panthers signed Blackshear to their active roster off the Bills' practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reprots.

Impact Blackshear had a strong preseason with the Bills after being signed as an undrafted free agent out of Virginia Tech and landed a practice-squad deal with Buffalo after being waived ahead of the 53-man roster deadline. The Panthers' haven't released their official Wednesday injury report yet, but it appears like their running back room is healthy, suggesting Blackshear will likely operate on special teams.

Hits paydirt twice in pro debut Blackshear rushed six times for 11 yards with two scores in Saturday's preseason win over the Colts. He also caught four of five targets for 60 yards.

Impact Blackshear is a long shot to make the roster as an undrafted free agent out of Virginia Tech, but he certainly had a nice start to his pro career and can perhaps keep himself in the conversation should injuries strike the players ahead of him on the current depth chart.
