2024 Fantasy Outlook
Pineiro made 90.6 percent of his field-goal attempts and 90.4 percent of PATs over the past two seasons in Carolina, rebounding strong after bouncing around the league from 2019 to 2021. He missed the final two games of 2023 with a hamstring injury and finished 27th among kickers in fantasy points, attempting just 20 PATs all year (and missing three). Pineiro should keep the job in 2024, but any chance at relevance requires a massive step forward for the Carolina offense in Year 2 with Bryce Young at quarterback and Year 1 of Dave Canales' coaching tenure.

Injury to end season
Pineiro (hamstring) made 25 of 29 field-goal attempts and 17 of 20 extra-point tries en route to 92 points in 15 games during the regular season.
ANALYSIS
Pineiro missed Carolina's last two games with a hamstring injury. Despite the Panthers' abysmal offense often restricting his scoring opportunities, Pineiro still clinched both of the team's victories with field goals as time expired. Although there is a potential out in Pineiro's contract for a new front office to evaluate this offseason, the veteran is currently slated to return to Carolina for the 2024 campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Gets commitment from Carolina
Pineiro signed a two-year deal with the Panthers on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Pineiro has now parlayed a last-minute opportunity before the 2022 regular season into a multi-year contract. The Florida product slotted in as Zane Gonzalez's replacement when the latter went down with a season-ending core injury in August, and he was able to convert 33 of 35 field-goal attempts and 30 of 32 extra-point tries across 17 games. Pineiro won't have to worry about Gonzalez staging a comeback bid at the job, either, as Carolina reportedly released the 27-year-old Thursday.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
2019
Pineiro bounced around the league for a few years before seemingly finding a home in 2022 in Carolina, where he converted 33 of 35 FGAs and 30 of 32 PATs. The Panthers signed him to a two-year contract in March, so job security at least isn't an issue. The problem for fantasy is the combination of a new coach, rookie QB and subpar pass catchers. While they might compete in a weak NFC South, the Panthers aren't likely to be an especially strong or high-scoring team, and Pineiro's one impressive season doesn't necessarily prove he's among the top kickers in the league.
