2024 NFL odds Week 18: Lines, spreads for all 16 games
Chuba Hubbard - Won't need surgery Hubbard (calf/knee), who is on IR, won't need any surgery in the offseason, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Hubbard put together a career-best season for the Panthers, rushing for 1,195 yards and 10 touchdowns on 250 carries while adding 171 yards and one touchdown on 43 receptions. However, the 25-year-old will finish the campaign on IR after suffering a Grade 2 calf strain late in the season. Since Hubbard won't need surgery on either the calf or the knee, he's likely to be ready to play by the start of the 2025 campaign. He's expected to be Carolina's top running back next season after signing a four-year contract extension this November.

Yaya Diaby - Gets to Young in Week 17 win Diaby finished Sunday's 48-14 win over the Panthers with three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks.
Impact Diaby was one of five Buccaneers to sack Bryce Young on Sunday, with the former taking down the latter for a 10-yard loss early in the third quarter. Diaby is now up to 3.5 sacks on the season, 1.5 of which have come over his last two games. He'll look to add to his total in Tampa Bay's regular-season finale against New Orleans next Sunday, a game in which the Buccaneers would clinch the NFC South division title with a win.

Logan Hall - Sacks Young in Week 17 Hall tallied three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Buccaneers' 48-14 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Impact Hall sacked Bryce Young for a nine-yard loss midway through the fourth quarter, and the former was one of five Buccaneers players to log three tackles, which was second-most behind Zyon McCollum (six). Hall is now up to a career-best 5.5 sacks on the season, 2.5 of which have come over his last three games. He'll look to add to his total in the Buccaneers' regular-season finale against the Saints next Sunday.

Zyon McCollum - Six tackles in Week 17 blowout win McCollum tallied six tackles (five solo) and one pass defense during the Buccaneers' 48-14 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Impact McCollum played in all 46 defensive snap Sunday and led the Buccaneers in combined and solo tackles. The 2022 fifth-round pick has played every single defensive snap in four of the Bucs' six games since the Week 11 bye, and he's up to 76 tackles (51 solo), 13 pass defenses (two interceptions) and one fumble recovery through 16 regular-season games. McCollum and the Bucs will look to clinch the NFC South division against the Saints next Sunday.
DECEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Demani Richardson - Nine tackles against Tampa Bay Richardson tallied nine tackles (six solo) during Carolina's 48-14 loss to Tampa Bay on Sunday.
Impact Richardson made his third start of the season Sunday due to Jordan Fuller (coach's decision) being sidelined. Richardson played all 74 defensive snaps and finished as the Panthers' fourth-leading tackler behind Chandler Wooten (14), Xavier Woods (12) and Jacoby Windmon (10). It appears Carolina wants to see what it has in Richardson, and the undrafted rookie out of Texas A&M could start over Fuller in the regular-season finale against Atlanta next Sunday.
DECEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jacoby Windmon - Logs 10 tackles against Tampa Bay Windmon registered 10 tackles (seven solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defense during Sunday's 48-14 loss to the Buccaneers.
Impact Windmon started at inside linebacker for a second straight week Sunday due to Trevin Wallace (shoulder) and Claudin Chereulus (toe) both being on injured reserve. Windmon combined with Jaden Crumedy for a two-yard sack on Baker Mayfield late in the first quarter, and Windmon finished the game as the Panthers' third-leading tackler behind Chandler Wooten (14) and Xavier Woods (12). Windmon has tallied 18 tackles (11 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and two pass defenses over his two starts and will likely see a heavy workload in the Panthers' regular-season finale against the Falcons next Sunday.
