Curtis Samuel (WR, CAR) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Throughout the season, the Carolina Panthers have continued to utilize wide receiver Curtis Samuel in a number of ways. He has had at least four targets in five of his six games and he's earned at least four carries on three occasions. […]
Mike Davis In A Great Bounce-Back Spot
Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis is in a great spot to redeem himself in Week 8 against the Falcons after last week's dud. Christian McCaffrey (ankle) is back practicing, though he is a long shot to play, particularly on a short week. That would leave Davis as the lead back for one more contest […]
Denzel Mims (WR, NYJ) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It took a while thanks to that pesky hamstring injury that kept him sidelined, but Denzel Mims has finally arrived in New York. The Jets spent a second-round pick on the former Baylor wideout and got to watch him play for the first […]
Week 7 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!
In Week 6 scoring was a little down and Deshaun Watson led the way with 32 fantasy points. That was not the case in Week 7 as Justin Herbert, Kyler Murray, Tom Brady, Joe Burrow and Russell Wilson all accounted for at least three touchdowns and exceeded 32 fantasy points in the process. Week 7 was a […]

In […]
Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds
As the bye weeks necessitate constant waiver wire action, injuries at the running back position have yet to cease. Aaron Jones, Chris Carson, and Kenyan Drake are the latest to pull the rug from under fantasy teams without warning. The pickings may be slim these days but between byes and injuries, you might have no […]
Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 8
An exciting early slate of football on Sunday, wasn't it? Multiple games coming down to the wire, though we then had a pretty boring second slate. But whatever -- you aren't here to read my thoughts on the games. You're here to figure out what wide receivers to add as we get ready for Week […]
Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 8
Explosive passing attacks continue to be the name of the game in 2020. In Week 7, eight quarterbacks attempted 40 or more passes. Eight teams surpassed 300 passing yards and 15 quarterbacks with multiple passing touchdowns. Five quarterbacks had three or more passing scores. Bye weeks continue to chug along and assuming there isn’t any […]
Teddy Bridgewater Has Upside Against Falcons
Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater gets a great matchup in Week 8 against the Falcons. Bridgewater had arguably his best game of the year against Atlanta back in Week 5, as it's the only game where he's thrown for at least 300 yards and multiple touchdown scores this season. The Falcons Defense has been the […]
Disaster Recovery - Week 7's Studs Turned Duds
Every week is a bad week for injuries in the NFL. As the non-Michael Thomas wide receivers finally return to lineups around the league, running backs hit the bench. Christian McCaffrey remains out. Aaron Jones, Joe Mixon, and Miles Sanders also hit the sidelines this week. They remain joined by Saquon Barkley, Nick Chubb, Austin […]
Deeper League Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 8
It’s unbelievable that we are entering the middle portion of the season already, but things are now starting to get more serious in both the NFL and fantasy leagues everywhere. This week brought about another devastating injury, this time to Browns WR Odell Beckham Jr. The importance of the waiver wire remains incredibly important with […]
Carolina Releases Eli Apple Ahead Of Week 8
Cornerback Eli Apple was released by the Panthers on Tuesday after logging 28 defensive snaps during Sunday's loss to New Orleans. Apple made just four tackles over the course of two games with the Panthers, but the team is already set to move on from the former starter, who has spent the four previous years […]
Christian McCaffrey Won't Practice Tuesday
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle), who has been designated to return from Injured Reserve, is wearing a red jersey again on Tuesday, which means he won't take part in practice. With the Panthers playing on Thursday night against the Falcons, it increases the likelihood that McCaffrey won't be available. The 24-year-old All-Pro will […]

Christian McCaffrey Looking Unlikely For Week 8
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle) appears to be a long-shot to play in Thursday's game against the Atlanta Falcons, though he hasn't been ruled out yet. According to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, McCaffrey is pushing to play in the game and will try to make as much progress as he can in practice this […]
Ian Thomas Has One Catch
Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas only contributed one reception for 11 yards on one target in the Week 7 loss to the Saints. Thomas has only seen three targets in the past three games and that has resulted in 20 total yards. His almost non-existent role on this offense means he's not even worth […]
Curtis Samuel Gets Rushing Touchdown
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel ended Week 7 with one carry for five yards and a touchdown along with six receptions for 48 yards on six targets. Samuel contributed in both the rushing and passing game this week and continues to provide modest value on this offense. He has not posted more than 28 […]
Robby Anderson Gets 74 Yards
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson finished Week 7 with six receptions for 74 yards on eight targets. Anderson is continuing to prove his worth on this team in just his first year and now has at least 74 yards in six of seven games. He's in the starting tier each week given his decent […]
D.J. Moore Gets Two Touchdowns
Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore finished Week 7 by leading the team with four receptions for 93 yards and two scores on five targets. It was an encouraging performance for Moore, who was seeing some of his targets being taken away by Robby Anderson. Nevertheless, the WR has a stable role in this unit […]
Mike Davis Struggles Against Saints
Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis had his worst performance as a substitute in Week 7, finishing with seven carries for 12 yards and five receptions for 24 yards on five targets. Davis saw his lowest number of carries since taking over for Christian McCaffrey as well. Speaking of McCaffrey, the elite RB may return […]
Teddy Bridgewater Tosses For 254 Yards
Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater finished Sunday's loss by going 23-for-28 for 254 yards and two touchdowns. It was a typical 2020 performance for the QB, but at least he threw for two touchdowns. Bridgewater has mostly put up modest performances this season and hasn't really had any breakout games. He's worth considering as a […]

Curtis Samuel Will Play In Week 7
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (knee) is officially active for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Samuel's been a versatile player for the Panthers, seeing work as a receiver and a running back, though from a fantasy perspective, his production hasn't been consistent enough to make him more than a deep-league flex option […]
Curtis Samuel Likely To Play Against Saints
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (knee) is looking likely to play on Sunday against the Saints. Samuel followed the same practice routine as last week, though he didn't end up playing in that contest.
