Panthers Rejected Trade For Brian Burns
The Carolina Panthers have reportedly rejected a trade offer for defensive end Brian Burns. The deal was reportedly two first-round picks in exchange for the 24-year-old pass rusher.

We are at Week 7, and the Buccaneers' defense is the talk of the town, especially after the Panthers traded Christian McCaffrey and Robbie Anderson. Even worse, Carolina will start P.J.

Baker Mayfield Doubtful For Week 7
Carolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield (ankle) is listed as doubtful on the team's final injury report for a Week 7 bout with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Laviska Shenault Jr. Questionable For Week 7
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (hamstring) is listed as questionable for the team's Week 7 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Panthers Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 7
The Carolina Panthers defense/special teams has been surprisingly good for fantasy so far this season and is one of only two units in the league with at least three defensive touchdowns.

Eddy Pineiro Can't Be Trusted In Week 7
Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro has been solid for the team this season and will look to continue his success in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Tommy Tremble Not Viable In Week 7
Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble has out-snapped Ian Thomas in three straight weeks but has failed to record a reception in the past two.

Ian Thomas Not A Fantasy Option In Week 7

Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 7: Jared Goff, J.K. Dobbins, D.J. Moore
With injuries and middling performances ravaging fantasy teams to start the season, it's okay to consider benching players who were relatively highly drafted (top-100) for this week and moving forward.
