Eddy Pineiro Not Worth Starting In Week 5

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro is yet to miss a field goal or extra-point attempt in 2022 and will hope to stay perfect in a Week 5 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Despite his success, Pineiro has not been a prolific fantasy option as the Panthers have been unable to move the ball and […]

Ian Thomas Not A Viable Option In Week 5

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas has recorded three targets in every game this season and will hope to get more involved in a Week 5 bout with the San Francisco 49ers.

Robbie Anderson Not On Fantasy Radar

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robbie Anderson has not been a reliable fantasy option so far this season and has a difficult matchup with the San Francisco 49ers on tap for Week 5. Anderson hasn't surpassed three receptions or 32 yards since Week 1 and is struggling to produce with Baker Mayfield under center. Carolina's ineffective […]

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore accumulated 11 targets last week and will look to stay heavily involved in a Week 5 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers.

Christian McCaffrey Remains A Top Option In Week 5

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is coming off his best fantasy performance of 2022 and will look to keep the momentum going in a Week 5 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

Baker Mayfield Should Be Avoided In Week 5

Carolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield has been unproductive for fantasy so far this season and could struggle to turn things around in a Week 5 bout with the San Francisco 49ers.

Chargers Sign Taylor Bertolet

The Los Angeles Chargers have added kicker Taylor Bertolet to their practice squad on Thursday.
