Tremble reached the end zone twice in a standout showing for the young tight end, helping Carolina improve to 3-2 on the season and secure sole possession of first place in the NFC South. Tremble’s two-touchdown day should catch the attention of fantasy football managers as well, drawing comparisons to prior top-scoring tight ends.
Tommy Tremble Stats
Tremble hauled in four receptions for 46 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday. He was targeted four times by Bryce Young and completed all four catches. His first scoring play was a 12-yard touchdown to push the lead to 10-0 in the second quarter. His second TD came on a 19-yard strike that made it 25-14 with 6:33 remaining, extending the Panthers’ advantage after Philadelphia had closed the gap to within a score.
Through three weeks, Tremble has been targeted four times in each game, marking his first two touchdowns of the season.
Tommy Tremble Fantasy Outlook
This performance likely represents Tremble’s ceiling in a given week. If he can consistently deliver around 40-plus receiving yards with occasional scoring opportunities, he could be a useful depth option at the tight end position. Tremble is clearly a talented player, but the Panthers have a crowded offense with Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker, and Chuba Hubbard all factoring into the mix behind him.
In a season where the Panthers are taking more shots through the air than anticipated, Tremble could be a helpful fill-in in pinch situations. However, managers shouldn’t expect two-touchdown outings every week.
What This Means for Darren Waller
Darren Waller has been a TD-dependent asset this season, typically finding paydirt from closer range than Tremble did on Sunday. Tremble’s two-TD game doesn’t fundamentally alter Waller’s role; it simply reflects standard usage within the matchup. Some weeks Young’s tight-end touchdowns will go to Waller, while others may favor Tremble.
If you rely on Waller in fantasy formats, use this game as a reminder of the uncertain weekly distribution rather than as a signal of a changing role. Waller’s usage remains consistent with prior expectations.
