Panthers Defense Poised For Strong Game Thursday

The Carolina Panthers defense could have a strong game against the Texans in Week 3.

Those matchups have yielded totals of 10 sacks and three interceptions, numbers that have made the Panthers defense a startable option ahead […]

Dan Arnold A Streaming Option Against Texans

Carolina Panthers tight end Dan Arnold has an exploitable matchup on tap against the Texans in Week 3. Arnold had a quiet Week 1 but was productive in a tough matchup against the Saints, exceeding 50 receiving yards.

Terrace Marshall Jr. Tough To Trust Despite Good Matchup

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. gets a good matchup against Houston in Week 3. Marshall has been the team's third wideout, playing at least 50 percent of the snaps each week and seeing a season-high six targets in Week 1. However, the production just hasn't been there yet, as the rookie receiver has […]

Robby Anderson A Solid Flex Option Against Houston

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson draws a favorable matchup in Week 3 against the Texans. Anderson has disappointed in terms of overall production, totaling just four receptions through two weeks of play.

D.J. Moore Should Be Started With Confidence In Week 3

Christian McCaffrey Could Have Monster Game Thursday Night

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is poised for a monster game in Week 3 against the Texans.

Sam Darnold Should Excel Against Texans

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold draws a favorable matchup against the Texans in Week 3.

Carolina Panthers tight end Dan Arnold finished with three receptions for 55 yards on four targets in Sunday's win over the Saints.
