Christian McCaffrey Ready For Washington

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey will look to remain one of the most efficient fantasy options against the Redskins on Sunday.

Kyle Allen Looks To Stay On Track Against Washington

Week 12 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!

In Week 12, several high-end quarterbacks had terrible games due to rainy and/or windy conditions.

There were stiff winds in Philadelphia and as a result, Russell Wilson came […]

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore exploded for the Panthers in their 34-31 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

Greg Olsen Gains 44 Yards Against The Saints

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen hauled in five of his seven targets in Week 12 for 44 scoreless yards. This was a fairly pedestrian performance from Olsen, but he still finished as a TE1 on the week. Even at age 34, Olsen continues to get the job done on a weekly basis, as he […]

Curtis Samuel Catches One Pass In Week 12

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel came up small in Week 12, hauling in just one of his four targets for nine yards against the Saints, while also adding 40 yards on the ground.
