Jimmy Horn: Everything you need to know

Horn caught 11 of 15 targets for 108 yards and rushed eight times for 69 yards across 14 regular-season games in 2025. Horn didn't play an offensive snap until the Week 5 win over the Dolphins and wasn't a major portion of Carolina's offensive game plan during his rookie season. The Colorado product finished the year as the Panthers' 10th-leading receiver and fifth-leading rusher. However, after flashing his blazing speed on a few occasions this season, Horn will likely be more involved in Carolina's offense following the team's 2025 playoff run.

Horn caught both of his targets for nine yards during Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Seahawks. The 23-year-old recorded the second-most receiving yards on the Panthers during the Week 17 loss, trailing just Jalen Coker (2-16-0). Horn has now received at least one offensive touch in each of Carolina's last three games, suggesting his role is growing as the season progresses. Across 13 appearances, he's caught 10 of 14 targets for 93 yards while rushing eight times for 69 yards. Expect Carolina to continue utilizing Horn's speed in the Week 18 matchup against the Buccaneers on Saturday.

Horn recorded a seven-yard reception on his lone target in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints. Horn took the field for just four of Carolina's 57 plays on offense, marking the fourth straight game he played single-digit snaps. He had played double-digit snaps in all but one of Carolina's six games between Weeks 5 and 10, but Brycen Tremayne appears to have since leapfrogged him on the depth chart as the Panthers' preferred No. 4 wideout behind Tetairoa McMillan (foot/ankle), Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker.
