As the Panthers' number one wideout and second receiving option behind Greg Olsen, Ted Ginn, Jr. has had a fairly productive first four games of the season.
Despite garnering 3 targets and 2 receptions on a day when Cam Newton completed just 12 passes in an easy win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Ginn still managed to put up a fine receiving day with those catches each going for touchdowns.
Ginn has now accounted for at least 40 receiving yards in each game this season, with at least 6 targets in each of the first three games. While his upside is capped by Newton's propensity to run in touchdowns himself when he isn't tossing them to his favorite red zone target, Olsen, with an above-average 0.71 Reception NEP per target prior to Sunday's contest and a clear role on offense, Ginn makes a nice add as a bye week or injury fill-in at your wide receiver position.
