Zane Gonzalez - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez isn't a worthy start against the Buffalo Bills in Week 15. Gonzalez has been reliable all season, going 20-for-22 in field goals and 22-for-23 in extra points. Nevertheless, the kicker hasn't had that many chances to kick in most weeks and Buffalo is stingy against fantasy kickers, so the 26-year-old […]

Panthers Defense Should Be On The Bench Against Buffalo

The Carolina Panthers defense isn't worth starting in Week 15. They will be facing a Buffalo team with a dual-threat QB in Josh Allen, who is expected to play despite dealing with a foot injury. The team also has good receiving options in Stefon Diggs, Cole Beasley, and Dawson Knox. Carolina has allowed at least […]

Ian Thomas - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas isn't worth starting in Week 15 against Buffalo. The TE has seen five total targets in the last two games and doesn't have a single yard to his name in that span. Thomas hasn't had the biggest role in this offense and his production is often too underwhelming each […]

Robby Anderson - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson isn't a great fantasy option in Week 15 against Buffalo. The WR did randomly go off last week by posting seven receptions for 84 yards and a score on 12 targets but that seems like more of an anomaly considering he hasn't produced well during any other week of […]

DJ Moore - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is a WR2 against the Bills. Moore is coming off two solid performances in which he posted 84 and 103 yards in the last two weeks. The WR has been known to put up decent numbers in 2021 and his role as the WR1 will keep his volume decent. […]

Chuba Hubbard - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is a flex option against Buffalo in Week 15. Hubbard is the RB1 of the team for the remainder of the season and will see a good number of carries in the remaining weeks. Last week, the back managed only 33 rushing yards but also had a rushing touchdown. […]

Cam Newton - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is not a worthy start in Week 15 against Buffalo. Newton hasn't been all that effective since returning to Carolina, and he has three passing touchdowns to three picks. The QB does provide a dual-threat value but his numbers have been inconsistent and Buffalo allows the fewest fantasy points to […]

Free NFL Betting Picks - Week 15 Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (12/19/21)

I'm riding shotgun in the struggle bus as the season grinds down. Week 14 featured some tight beats (although Baltimore should've had no chance to even come close in that game) and an overtime push. We trudge on. FYI, I only have two picks this week, mainly because with the way these teams are getting […]

Matt Barkley Lands On COVID-19 List

Carolina Panthers quarterback Matt Barkley is the latest signal-caller to land on the league's Reserve/COVID-19 list as of Friday. While the move doesn't change Carolina's game plan Sunday against the Bills, it does leave them with just two active QBs in Cam Newton and P.J. Walker, with Sam Darnold (shoulder) still on Injured Reserve. Barkley […]

Moore has continued his stellar […]
