SIT

Kenny Pickett's recent snap share has plummeted to a mere 18%, signaling his diminished role on the team.

Role & volume

Pickett's rushing volume, as measured by carry share, has been inconsistent, with his most recent game showing just 3.1% of carries.

Projected role

With Kyle Trask returning to the starting QB position, Pickett is expected to have a limited role on the new team, CAR, likely focusing on special teams and situational rushing opportunities.

Range (floor–ceiling)

Given his current status as the QB67 in our value board, Pickett's range is narrow with little upside potential for fantasy relevance.

Risk & Opportunity Analysis (2 flags)

Risk Flags

Role Ceiling
Pickett settled in as clear QB2 behind Bryce Young after signing with Carolina in March 2026, with no depth-chart movement since Week 1 and Haynes King occupying QB3 — there is no realistic path to a starting role outside a Young injury.

Opportunity Flags

Backup Insurance
As the healthy, stable QB2 with in-season reps (mop-up duty in three of his last four appearances), Pickett would be an immediate streaming/spot-start option if Bryce Young were to miss time.
