Panthers DST Still To Be Avoided In Week 8

The Carolina Panthers' organizational dysfunction should leave any manager wary of relying on Carolina players, never mind banking on two-thirds of their team. While the Denver Broncos' offense ranks bottom third of the league in scoring, yards per game, and giveaways, the Panthers' defense matches their skill. Carolina ranks dead last in opponent points per […]

Xavier Legette Has Major Opportunity, And Test, In Week 8

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette finds himself in unfamiliar territory against the Denver Broncos in Week 8. With receivers Adam Thielen (hamstring) and Diontae Johnson (ribs) ruled out, Legette should slide in as WR1 in Carolina's offense. Quarterback Bryce Young will also take the reigns from Andy Dalton (thumb), making his third start […]

Chuba Hubbard Looks To Remain Consistent Against Denver

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard aims to remain the team's lone offensive constant as they head to Denver in Week 8. While not a high bar, Hubbard has undoubtedly been the Panthers' MVP through seven games, accounting for 33% of their total touchdowns. Last week, he posted his lowest yardage total since Week 1—52 […]

Bryce Young To Re-Enter The Belly Of The Beast In Week 8

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is set to make his third start of the year with Andy Dalton (thumb) doubtful to play in Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. Young was benched following a Week 2 thrashing by the Los Angeles Chargers, where he threw for just 84 yards and an interception. Despite notable offensive […]

Ja'Tavion Sanders Impresses Against Commanders

Carolina Panthers rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders recorded a career-high six receptions for 61 yards in the team's 33-point loss (40-7) to the Washington Commanders. No other Panthers pass catcher had more than two catches. This comes on the heels of Sanders' five-reception, 49-yard performance in Week 6. The fourth-round pick is capitalizing on increased […]

Xavier Legette Struggles Against Commanders

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette had just two receptions for three yards and one carry for six yards in Sunday's 40-7 loss to the Washington Commanders. It was Legette's lowest receiving total of the year and his second game with fewer than 10 scrimmage yards. Carolina's passing game was in complete disarray, with […]

Diontae Johnson Has Disappointing Outing In Loss To Commanders

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (ribs, hamstring, ankle) was questionable for the Week 7 tilt against the Washington Commanders after not practicing most of the week. Johnson was active but only produced one catch for 17 yards in Sunday's 40-7 blowout loss. He was targeted three times despite entering the week as the third-most […]

Miles Sanders Registers Another Subdued Performance In Week 7

Carolina Panthers halfback Miles Sanders carried the ball three times for 34 yards—including a 26-yard rush—in the team's 40-7 blowout loss to the Washington Commanders. However, his only reception in the game went for -6 yards, reducing his scrimmage total to just 28 yards. It's the third straight week Sanders has registered exactly four touches, […]

Chuba Hubbard Lone Bright Spot In Panthers’ Blowout Loss To Commanders

Despite a 33-point loss to the Washington Commanders, Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard ground out a respectable performance, rushing 17 times for 52 yards and a touchdown. Hubbard accounted for the team's sole touchdown—a four-yard scamper that capped one of just two Carolina drives with multiple first downs. His 17 carries matched his usual […]

Panthers D/ST Should Be Avoided at All Costs Against Commanders

There should be no reason to have the Panthers' defensive/special teams unit in any lineup this week. Carolina is dead last in opponent points per game, 29th in opponent yards per game, and 18th in takeaways. In Week 7, they'll face the mighty Commanders offense, which ranks atop several offensive categories—second in points per game, […]

Eddy Pineiro Remains Low-End Option Against Commanders

At not much fault of his own, Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro has been a low-end fantasy producer this season. He's 9-of-10 on field goal attempts—missing a 45-yarder against Chicago—and a perfect 10-for-10 on extra point attempts. It's been a matter of the Panthers' offense, who rank 25th in yards per game, putting him in position […]

Ja'Tavion Sanders' Production In Limbo In Week 7

Carolina Panthers rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders is coming off his best performance of the year against the Atlanta Falcons, in which he recorded five receptions on seven targets for 49 yards. The fourth-round pick from Texas replaced veteran Tommy Tremble (concussion), who is questionable this week against Washington. Receiving-wise, Sanders outperformed any Tremble performance […]

Xavier Legette Should See More Targets Against Commanders

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette recorded his second-best game of the year last week against Atlanta in Week 6 he hauled in three of four targets and one touchdown. Still very much a touchdown-or-bust candidate, Legette remains a flex option against the Washington Commanders in Week 7. However, Panthers receiver Diontae Johnson (ankle, […]

Chuba Hubbard A Surefire Starter Against Commanders

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard was on the field for 82% of the team's offensive snaps last week against Atlanta—his highest mark of the season by nearly 10 percentage points. Facing a lackluster Commanders run defense in Week 7, who are 21st in points allowed to halfbacks, Hubbard is primed for a productive outing. […]

Andy Dalton Has Chance To Right Ship Against Commanders

Since his 300-yard, three-touchdown season debut in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders, Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton has returned to form in the last three weeks, averaging less than 200 hundred yards per game with more turnovers than touchdowns. Dalton does pull a favorable matchup in Week 7 against the Washington Commanders, who […]
