D.J. Moore Sees 13 Targets In Week 6

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore finished with five receptions for 73 yards on 13 targets in Sunday's loss to Minnesota. On a day where the rest of the Carolina pass-catching unit struggled, Moore shined and delivered another solid performance. The WR has double-digit targets and at least 73 yards in four of the last […]

Chuba Hubbard Has Rushing Touchdown In Week 6

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard recorded 16 carries for 61 yards and a score along with one reception for four yards on three targets in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. With Christian McCaffrey now on IR due to a hamstring injury, Hubbard should have a decent role going forward. The back has now posted […]

Sam Darnold Struggles Against Vikings

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold struggled in Sunday's loss to Minnesota, going 17-for-41 for 207 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. The QB did rush for a season-high 48 yards, though. Nevertheless, Darnold has cooled off quite a bit since starting the season hot. The 24-year-old now has four touchdowns to six picks in the […]

The wide receiver matchup article from last week recommended some solid plays with Davante Adams (WR-2), Kadarius Toney (WR-7), CeeDee Lamb (WR-17) and Deebo Samuel (WR-20) all finishing Week 5 with strong performances. On the lower end, Marvin Jones Jr. was targeted six times but only hauled in one of them for 25 yards and Jakobi Meyers (WR-47) really underwhelmed. Tyler […]

Trade your Studs?

I debated writing this article and risking my reputation as a super famous sportswriter by suggesting such a controversial strategy. But then I realized without risk, like grabbing Ja’Marr Chase in the sixth round, there is no glory. Back to the topic at hand, I will pose this question, “Is depth more valuable than star players […]

Christian McCaffrey Placed On Injured Reserve

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) was placed on the Injured Reserve Saturday, sidelining him for the next three weeks. McCaffrey was able to practice in a limited fashion for four straight sessions spanning from last week to the beginning of this week but was downgraded to a non-participant on Thursday and Friday, suggesting […]

Zane Gonzalez - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez is not a strong play in Week 6. In four games with Carolina, the kicker has gone 6-for-8 in field goals and 10-for-11 in extra points. The Panthers don't have the most high-powered offense and the unit has struggled in some games this season, meaning the chances for Gonzalez may […]

Panthers Defense A Low-End Starting Option

The Carolina Panthers defense is a low-end starting option in Week 6 against the Vikings. This unit has been phenomenal in 2021, boasting 16 sacks, four picks, and four forced fumbles. In five games, the unit has allowed more than 21 points only once, including allowing 14 or fewer points in the first three games. […]

Ian Thomas - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas is not a viable fantasy option in Week 6. Thomas did post a season-best four receptions for 40 yards on five targets in Week 5, but he has been underwhelming other than that. The TE hasn't posted more than 17 yards in any other contest. Even though TE is […]

Robby Anderson - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson is not a strong fantasy play this week. Anderson has struggled in 2021, not posting more than 57 yards in a single contest. Even though he had 11 and seven targets in the last two weeks, he only posted 46 and 30 yards, respectively, to go along with those […]

DJ Moore - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is a solid WR1 option in Week 6. Moore did post season-low numbers last week, five receptions for 42 yards, but overall the 24-year-old has been spectacular as the clear-cut WR1 for Carolina this season. He has at least 79 yards in four of five games this season including […]

Chuba Hubbard - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is a flex option in Week 6 with Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) once again out for the contest. Hubbard posted his best numbers of the season last week, getting 24 carries for 101 yards and five receptions for 33 yards on six targets. The rookie should once again see volume […]

Sam Darnold - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold is a QB2 option, at best, in Week 6 against the Vikings. Darnold started off the season hot but has cooled down in the last couple of weeks, throwing three touchdowns to five picks. Last week, he threw for a season-low 177 yards. The QB was never the most consistent […]
