Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro went 5-for-5 on extra points and made his one field goal attempt from 35 yards in the Panthers' 44-38 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders earned five targets on Sunday and turned that into three catches for 35 yards in the Panther's 44-38 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

David Moore Scores A Touchdown In Week 18

Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore hauled in a nine-yard touchdown in the Panthers' 44-38 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The touchdown reception was his only catch on the afternoon, and he only saw three targets.

Adam Thielen Disappoints With Only 44 Yards In Week 18

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen was primed for a big game in Week 18 against the Atlanta Falcons and disappointed fantasy managers in this contest. Thielen finished the game with five catches on six targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 44-38 overtime win over the Falcons. The targets and receptions were second on the […]

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette had three catches on five targets for only 30 yards in Sunday's 44-38 overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Mike Boone Totals 16 All-Purpose Yards In Week 18

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Boone was a non-factor in Sunday's 44-38 overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 18.

Carolina Panthers running back Raheem Blackshear earned lead running back duties in Week 17 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with Chuba Hubbard (calf, knee) landing on the injured reserve.

Eddy Pineiro Looking To Get Back On Track In Week 18

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro hasn't gotten many opportunities to kick field goals the past few weeks. Over the past four games, he has only attempted three field goals.

Tommy Tremble Not A Good Start Against The Falcons

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble did not record a target in Week 17 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. During the season, Tremble only averages 1.3 receptions per game and has earned a 5.3% target share in the passing game. That type of production makes it difficult for fantasy managers to consider Tremble an option […]

Ja'Tavion Sanders A Desperate Tight-End Play In Week 18

Carolina Panthers rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders only saw one target in Week 17 and turned that into a five-yard reception in Sunday's 48-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

David Moore Not A Strong Start Against The Falcons

Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore was limited to one catch for 17 yards in the Panthers' Week 17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Moore has been inconsistent during the season, putting up less than five fantasy points twelve times while scoring more than 10 only two times. Throughout the season, he earned a […]

Adam Thielen A High-End WR2 Against The Falcons

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen has been a bright spot for the Carolina Panthers of late and a reliable target for young quarterback Bryce Young. In Week 17 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Thielen caught five of his six targets for 110 yards and two touchdowns. Over the past five weeks, Thielen has put […]

Mike Boone Not A Good Fantasy Option In Week 18

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Boone rushed for 11 yards on two carries during Sunday's 48-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. The Panthers signed Boone to their active roster last Saturday after Chuba Hubbard (calf, knee) was placed on injured reserve. The Panthers fell behind early in Week 17 and never […]

Raheem Blackshear A Low-End RB3 Option For Week 18

Carolina Panthers running back Raheem Blackshear rushed for 20 yards on eight carries during Sunday's Week 17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Bryce Young A Low-End QB1 Option Against The Falcons

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said quarterback Bryce Young and the team's other starters will play in Week 18 against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The Falcon's defense has allowed the sixth most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2024. Young has been playing better lately, producing 17-plus fantasy points in four of […]

Tua Tagovailoa Unlikely To Play In Week 18 Versus The New York Jets

According to Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins are preparing to start quarterback Tyler Huntley on Sunday against the New York Jets as Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is "unlikely to play." This situation frustrates fantasy managers because Tagovailoa logged a few limited practices to start the week. Huntley played admirably in Tagovailoa's absence last […]

Curtis Samuel Questionable For Week 18’s Matchup Versus The Patriots

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (rib) has been inactive for the last two weeks with a rib injury.

George Pickens Looking To Bounce Back Against Cincinnati In Season Finale

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens caught three of seven targets for 50 yards in the Christmas game 29-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Week 17 was Pickens' first game back from a hamstring injury that kept him sidelined from Weeks 14-16. Pickens and the struggling Steelers offense will look to bounce back with […]

Najee Harris A Solid RB2 Option Against The Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris has seen his fantasy production dip over the last three weeks. The main reason is that the Steelers have lost all three games by 14 or more points, meaning game flow has not been in Harris's favor. In addition to that, they faced three top-10 defenses against the run. […]

Russell Wilson A Low-End QB1 In Week 18 Versus The Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson saved his Week 17 fantasy stat line on the ground as he rushed for a season-high 55 yards and a touchdown in the Christmas game loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Jaylen Warren Off The Injury Report, A Mid-Range RB2 Against The Bengals

The Kansas City Chiefs are designating defensive back Jaylen Watson (ankle) to return from Injured Reserve, and he will practice on Friday.

Ray Davis Earns Seven Touches In Week 17 Win

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis earned six carries and turned that into just nine yards in Sunday's 40-17 win over the New York Jets. He added one reception for four yards as well.
