Ginn's Return Is Major Boost for Panthers Offense 

Ginn finally began to establish himself as the top receiver in Carolina's offense in the second half of the season, hauling in 294 yards and six touchdowns in the four games prior to Week 17. Having been without Kelvin Benjamin for the entire season, Ginn has played the role of Cam Newton's top target not named Greg Olsen, and he is a big-play receiver who can take the top off of a secondary.

The Panthers have found a way to make it work without Benjamin, earning a 15-1 record and clinching the No. 1 seed in the NFC, and Ginn's return will bolster their already potent offense.
