2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ransom, a 2025 fourth-round pick from Ohio State, ended his collegiate career with a National Championship, recording 76 total tackles, including nine tackles for loss, one interception and a Big 10-leading three forced fumbles across 15 games. The physical safety is expected to begin the 2025 season as one of the Panthers' top backup defensive backs but could see increased playing time as he gets adjusted to the NFL. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $5.16 million contract with the Panthers in May of 2025.
Productive during rookie campaign
Ransom posted 51 tackles (21 solo), including 1.0 sacks, an interception, two passes defended and a forced fumble across 16 regular-season games during the 2025 campaign.
ANALYSIS
Ransom was productive during his rookie campaign, racking up over 50 total tackles while seeing playing time on both defense and special teams. With Tre'von Moehrig under contract with the Panthers for two more years, Ransom will likely continue to serve as a backup safety during the 2026 campaign.
