D.J. Moore Musters 18 Yards

In a shootout game, Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore was relatively quiet, getting two receptions for 18 yards on three targets. It was certainly a disappointing performance for Moore on a day where Teddy Bridgewater and several teammates had productive days. It's worth noting the WR had at least five targets and 55 yards […]

Mike Davis Chips in 34 Receiving Yards

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis finished Week 9 with one carry for three yards and five receptions for 34 yards on six targets. As expected, Davis' role significantly decreased with the return of Christian McCaffrey and his fantasy value will be non-existent when the elite RB plays. McCaffrey sustained a rib injury late in […]

Robby Anderson Gets Nine Receptions

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson finished Week 9 with nine receptions for 63 yards on 13 targets. The WR continues to enjoy a terrific start to his Carolina career and he saw a season-high in targets in Week 9. Anderson now has at least 63 yards in five of the past six games. He […]

Curtis Samuel Paces Team With 105 Yards

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel had a breakout performance on Sunday, amassing nine receptions for 105 yards and a score on nine targets along with three carries for 13 yards. Samuel now has three total touchdowns in the past two games and Week 9 served as his best game of the season. Though managers […]

Christian McCaffrey Accumulates Over 100 Scrimmage Yards

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey played terrific in Week 9 after his return from an ankle sprain. The back had 18 carries for 69 yards and a score along with 10 receptions for 82 yards and a score. McCaffrey continued to prove why he is the focal point of this offense in this performance. […]

Teddy Bridgewater Gets 310 Yards

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater went 36-for-49 for 310 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's loss to Kansas City. He also added two carries for 19 yards and a score. This was easily one of Bridgewater's best games of the season and only his third 300-yard game of the season. Overall, the QB can be […]

Jeremy Chinn Out For Panthers Defense

Carolina Panthers rookie safety Jeremy Chinn (knee) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Chiefs. Left tackle Russell Okung (calf) is also out this Sunday. Chinn, a second-round pick out of Southern Illinois, has been a weekly IDP starter at the defensive back position in his first year in the NFL. The 22-year-old […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 9

The recommendations from the Week 8 wide receiver matchup article were fairly productive, featuring Corey Davis, Brandon Aiyuk, Cooper Kupp and Tyler Boyd who all finished inside the top-15. On the negative side, Marquise Brown was only targeted twice, A.J. Green underwhelmed and Justin Jefferson couldn't get it done in windy conditions which limited the […]

Christian McCaffrey, Mike Davis To Split Carries

Carolina Panthers running backs Christian McCaffrey and Mike Davis are expected to share the load against Kansas City in Week 9. The Panthers clearly want to be careful with McCaffrey after his high-ankle sprain and have a luxury at backup with how well Davis played. It's unclear how much of a split it will be, […]

Joey Slye In Streaming Tier For Week 9

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye is in the streaming tier this week against the Chiefs. Slye has gone 18-for-21 on field-goal attempts this season, with all three misses coming from over 40 yards. He has also gone 15-for-17 in extra-point tries. The Chiefs are generally a tougher opponent for fantasy kickers, so Slye is only […]

Panthers Defense Should Stay On The Bench

The Carolina Panthers Defense is not a starting-caliber option this week against the defending Super Bowl-champion Kansas City Chiefs. This unit has allowed at least 20 points in six of their eight games and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is coming off a performance where he had over 400 yards and five touchdowns. This is not the […]

Ian Thomas Not A Viable Starter This Week

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas is not a worthy starter for this week. Thomas had his "best game" of the season last week where he compiled three receptions for 28 yards on three targets, but that's not effective enough for fantasy. In addition, the TE has only had double-digit receiving yards in three of […]
