Joey Slye Accurate In Loss To Buccaneers

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye went 4-for-4 during the Thursday night loss to the Buccaneers. The rookie was efficient, to say the least, accounting for all of the team's offensive production while also tallying his second and third 50-plus yard kicks of the season. With quarterback Cam Newton failing to find the end zone throughout […]

Curtis Samuel Has A Better Week 2

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel picked things up in Week 2 against Tampa Bay, racking up 91 yards on five receptions (13 targets).

D.J. Moore Heavily Targeted In Loss

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore hauled in nine of his 14 targets on Thursday against the Buccaneers, finishing the night with 89 yards.

Christian McCaffrey Cools Off Against Bucs

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey fizzled out against the Bucs on Thursday night, rushing for just 37 yards on 16 carries while catching only two balls for 16 yards. After a strong showing in Week 1 against the Rams that catapulted the 23-year-old to the top of fantasy scoring columns, it was a disappointing […]

Cam Newton Still Without A Touchdown

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton went 24-for-50, racking up 324 yards in the loss to the Bucs on Thursday night. Though the veteran wasn't able to throw for a touchdown (again), his accumulation of yards through the air was enough to satisfy the fantasy managers who kept him in their lineups despite his average showings […]

Rookie Receiver Breakouts from Week 1: Trust or Bust?

Rookie wide receivers are generally hard to trust in fantasy football. Last year’s class, for example, did not produce any regular fantasy starters, although players such as Calvin Ridley, D.J. Moore, Dante Pettis, Christian Kirk and Michael Gallup all showed some promise. Ridley was the best of the bunch with 64 catches for 821 yards […]
