Week 16 Surprises? Takeaways and Overreactions

In Week 16, the quarterback position was kind of a mess. Jameis Winston and Deshaun Watson were playing against each other in a potential smash spot as each opposing defense performed consistently poorly against the pass throughout the season. Instead, both Winston and Watson struggled in what amounted to an exciting, but disappointing game. Daniel […]

D.J. Moore Not Seen At Practice

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore (concussion) wasn't seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Tuesday, and it's looking like he won't play in Week 17 against the Saints after entering the concussion protocol last Sunday. Moore caught just one pass for a yard before leaving the Week 16 game. With […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 17

The fantasy season is over for most, but some of you crazy people have Week 17  championships. If that's the case, then you'll have to navigate teams resting starters, shutting down injured players, and using second-stringers to see what they've got. The biggest name we'll likely be without is Lamar Jackson, since Baltimore has locked […]

Curtis Samuel Doesn't Do Much In Loss To Colts

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel logged just two catches for 17 yards during the loss to the Colts on Sunday. With rookie quarterback Will Grier unable to get anything done by throwing three interceptions on the day, Samuel didn't produce, even with the exit of D.J. Moore, who was ruled out after suffering a […]

Greg Olsen Records Just Two Receptions In Loss

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen caught two of his five targets for 33 yards during the loss to the Colts in Week 16. Olsen wasn't able to do much as rookie quarterback Will Grier, who received his first start after taking over for Kyle Allen, threw three interceptions on the day. Olsen needs two […]

Christian McCaffrey Breaks Own Record

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey had 54 yards on 13 carries during the loss to Indianapolis on Sunday. He also logged 15 catches for 119 yards, breaking his single-season record of 107 that he had just a season ago. While rookie quarterback Will Grier struggled on the day by throwing three interceptions, McCaffrey was […]

Will Grier Has An Uneventful Debut

Carolina Panthers quarterback Will Grier failed to throw a touchdown during the loss to the Colts on Sunday but had no issues turning the ball over, either, as he ended the day with three interceptions. The rookie also logged 224 yards and did so while completing just 61.4 percent of his passes. Hopes were high […]

D.J. Moore Won't Return In Week 16

Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore (concussion) will not return to the Week 16 game against the Colts after suffering a concussion. Moore caught one of two targets for a measly one yard before his head injury, so he'll wind up being a Week 16 fantasy bust at the worst time. […]

D.J. Moore Suffers Head Injury Against Colts

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore (concussion) suffered a head injury in Week 16 against the Colts and is being evaluated for a concussion. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to return in this game, but it would obviously be a huge loss for fantasy owners on championship weekend. Moore caught one […]

Curtis Samuel Active For Week 16

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (knee) is officially active for Week 16 against the Colts. Samuel has scored in two of his last three games, but he hasn't gone over 100 yards in a single game this season and is even more risky as a WR3 with rookie quarterback Will Grier making his first […]

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (knee) didn't practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 16 against the Colts on the road.
