The Cut List (Week 17) - Time to Let Go?

Welcome to the final Cut List of 2020. I'd like to thank everyone who's joined me on this column all year. I took it on in Week 7 and I've looked forward to writing it each week ever since. So I hope you've looked forward to reading it as well. I don't have any profound […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 17 Lightning Round

While some fantasy seasons are over, we here recognize many are still battling in Week 17. Let's take a moment to applaud that we have had a full NFL season thus far, with some admitted turbulence along the way. Week 17 is always messy with backups getting additional play so keep your eyes on the […]

Christian McCaffrey Unlikely To Play In Week 17

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said he's "probably leaning towards no" when it comes to running back Christian McCaffrey's (quadriceps, shoulder) availability for the regular season finale in Week 17 against the Saints, but the team will know more on Wednesday. McCaffrey hasn't played since Week 9 and has only appeared in three games […]

Panthers Defense Has Strong Day

The Carolina Panthers Defense put together a strong performance in a 20-13 win over the Washington Football Team. Carolina recorded three sacks, two interceptions, and two fumbles, both of which were recovered by the defense. That's back-to-back impressive performances by this unit, even though last week's second-half shutdown of Aaron Rodgers didn't show up on […]

Curtis Samuel Responsible For Career-High 158 Total Yards

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel caught all five targets for 106 receiving yards and added seven rushing attempts for 52 additional yards in a win over Washington. Samuel was dynamic and explosive, as evidenced by his 45-yard run where he dragged defenders down the sideline. The 24-year-old also added a 44-yard reception as he […]

D.J. Moore Ties For Team Lead In Targets

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore tied for the team lead in targets with 10 in a win over the Washington Football Team. Moore produced a disappointing 5-37-0 line on the wealth of opportunities he saw, though quarterback Teddy Bridgewater didn't have much time to look downfield for the explosive wideout. Still, it's encouraging to […]

Robby Anderson Leads Team In Receptions

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson caught seven of 10 targets for 39 receiving yards and a touchdown in a 20-13 win over Washington. Anderson averaged just 5.6 yards per catch- and his overall line was a bit disappointing, though the matchup was tough. The veteran wideout found the end zone on a crossing route […]

Mike Davis Underwhelms Against Washington

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis carried the ball 14 times for 28 rushing yards and a touchdown in a win over the Washington Football team. Davis was overshadowed by teammate Curtis Samuel on the ground, as the wideout paced the team in rushing yards. The veteran back punched in a score from the 1-yard […]

Teddy Bridgewater Struggles In Win Over Washington

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater struggled to produce against a tough Washington defense in a Week 16 win. Bridgewater completed 19 of 28 passes for 197 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The 28-year-old was under siege by the monstrous Washington defensive line, though he did manage to find Robby Anderson in the end […]
