Christian McCaffrey Not Carrying An Injury Designation

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey, who made his return from a hamstring injury in Week 9, wasn't on the injury report all week and won't carry an injury designation into the Week 10 contest against the Arizona Cardinals.

Top Trade Targets and Avoids for Week 10

In a perfect world, you would have traded away Khalil Herbert two weeks ago as recommended and acquired James Conner before Week 9. I won't tell you to make those moves now because the window to get anything of value for Herbert is completely shut now that David Montgomery is back to a full workload […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 10

Well, that was an interesting week. Heavy favorites fell, cellar dwellers won, and many of the top fantasy scorers were on benches or waivers. It's unlikely that Week 10 will bring the same level of unpredictability but that's the great thing about the NFL - you never know what to expect. In this weekly column, […]

Panthers Place Sam Darnold On Injured Reserve

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, meaning he will need to be sidelined for at least three weeks. Once it was announced that Darnold had a partial fracture of the scapula, it was assumed he would miss a couple of weeks, but now we know for sure. Ultimately, […]

Key Fantasy Football Data from Week 9

Week 9 was a weird one. Very few things played out the way that the odds said they were likely to, leaving a lot of sharp fantasy players not finding much success. In this post, we will finish the part of the week where we are looking backward by summarizing the week in a bunch […]

Snap Count and Usage Analysis for Week 10

Snap counts are not the be-all-end-all for fantasy production, but they paint a clear picture with the necessary context. Every snap is an opportunity for a player to make his presence felt and if their snaps go up or down, you get an idea of what the team thinks of their skill set. A running […]

Fantasy Football Champs and Chumps - Offensive Line Analysis for Week 10

Week 9 finished as one of the most frustrating fantasy football weeks in a long time thanks to a lack of scoring across the league. Offenses we have come to rely on (Buffalo, Kansas City, Dallas) failed to provide much fantasy value. Teams that we have avoided this year (New York Jets, New England Patriots, […]

Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Real or Mirage?

Week 9 was one of the wildest weeks we've had for fantasy football in quite some time. Matt Ryan came off a very disappointing performance in Week 8, only to crush the stingy Saints defense to finish as QB-3, while Carson Wentz and Josh Johnson finished as top-five options in a Thursday night game that […]

The veteran signal-caller is […]

The playoff race is heating up in fantasy football leagues around the country, so this is not the week to be stuck with Ian Thomas, Tommy Sweeney or Cameron Brate as your top tight end. Another four teams are on bye this week, but the only notable tight ends missing action this week because of […]

Week 10 Kicker Streamers and Starts – 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 9... what an absolute cluster. The Buffalo Bills lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars, 9–6. The Broncos went and punched the Cowboys in the mouth and the Cowboys didn't even bother to put up a fight. It was quite the week so it only made sense that after a week of championing Greg Joseph and […]

Royce Freeman Waived, Matt Paradis Lands On IR

The Carolina Panthers waived running back Royce Freeman and linebacker Clay Johnston on Monday and also placed center Matt Paradis (knee) and left tackle Cam Erving (calf) on Injured Reserve. Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) returned from Injured Reserve to play on Sunday for the first time since Week 3, so Freeman becomes the odd man out. […]

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) is being considered day-to-day after he had an MRI exam on his shoulder on Monday, according to a source.

Sam Darnold To Undergo MRI On His Shoulder

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule told reporters that quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) will have an MRI exam on Monday, and the focus remains on his health heading into Week 10.

Matt Paradis Suffers ACL Tear, Done For The Year

Carolina Panthers center Matt Paradis (knee) will miss the rest of the season. During the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the New England Patriots, the veteran injured his knee and needed to be carted off the field. The official diagnosis is a torn ACL, which is unfortunate considering the team's struggles since winning its […]

Ian Thomas Picks Up Just One Catch In Loss

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas caught just one pass for nine yards in a loss to the Patriots. Thomas was in for a tough matchup against a Bill Belichick defense anyway, but matters were made worse by the struggles of Sam Darnold, who couldn't get anything going against New England's defense. The tight end […]

Terrace Marshall Jr. Held Without A Catch In Loss

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. didn't record a single catch in Sunday's defeat to the Patriots. Marshall still has yet to exceed 50 receiving yards and has six games with four or fewer receptions. The rookie has underwhelmed this season, though he's dealt with injury and inconsistent quarterback play, both of which certainly […]
