Fantasy Analysis
Hardly seems worth the wait, does it? If Hardy was a decent source of tackles, he'd be worth keeping around for the occasional sack, but since he's not, he remains just a low-end DL in Fantasy IDP leagues. (Updated 12/18/2011).

The once woeful Panthers have a quarterback. Check. And under Ron Rivera, Cam Newton changes Carolina's outlook. Check. But Pete Prisco says this team, however electrifying, has big holes on defense.

Greg Hardy was a bright spot for the Panthers last season, totaling 50 tackles and four sacks with a safety, a forced fumble and a mind-boggling 11 passes defensed. Those numbers were good enough to help him finish as a Top 15 defensive lineman, but he'll be hard pressed to do it again. A big factor for Hardy's lofty finish was his pass defense stats, and it's hard to believe he'll be credited with as many in 2012. We would draft him with a late-round pick and not trust him as a starter. (Updated 4/19/12)
