Panthers Select Will Grier In Third Round

The Carolina Panthers selected West Virginia quarterback Will Grier with the No. 100 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Grier will become the heir apparent to Cam Newton under center in Carolina. The 37th pick of the third round has excellent touch as a passer, although his arm isn't the strongest. Grier is also […]

Panthers Draft Brian Burns With Pick No. 16

The Carolina Panthers selected Florida State edge rusher Brian Burns with the No. 16 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft. Burns will bring the heat off the edge for the Panthers in his rookie season. He's an athletic freak and put on some weight without losing any speed before the NFL combine. Burns has […]

Dynasty Price Check - Kenyan Drake

We continue our offseason series of dynasty price checks with a look at Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake. The Dolphins are a team in full rebuild mode but Drake could benefit from a new coaching regime and the departure of veteran Frank Gore, who ate into his snap count in 2018. We will start […]

Just a Sophomore Slump - Third-year Players Ready to Rebound

The 2017 NFL rookie class has done well to give fantasy owners plenty to think about after just two seasons in the league. Here is a short list of some of the offensive players drafted in 2017 who can reasonably be expected to go within the first three or four rounds of 2019 fantasy drafts: Christian […]

Can You Trust Rookie Wide Receivers in Re-draft?

This upcoming NFL Draft feels like it's very heavy on wide receivers and light on running backs. For dynasty owners, that leads to a pretty simple result: draft the receivers at the top of your rookie draft. But in re-draft, there's long been this idea that rookie wide receivers aren't consistently useful in fantasy, that […]

Red Zone Target Hogs and Potential WR Sleepers for 2019

As a fantasy owner reading this, you know that not all fantasy touches are equal. Ultimately, we are all looking for players that are able to score that elusive touchdown. If you can find a later round draft pick that is used in the red zone then you have a great opportunity to win your […]

Tight End Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis (April 2019)

All of a sudden, the tight end has become cool in fantasy football. Maybe not all of them, but the position that used to be largely ignored until the middle rounds is now a priority for some. If you managed to nab one of the top three TEs last year, you had a clear advantage […]

If you are a veteran of the Best-Ball format, you know that every possible advantage helps in these early draft days. The NFL Draft is still a week away, so it's important to get an idea of how to value rookies before we know their landing spots if you are in the midst of a […]

Cam Newton Close To Throwing

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said that quarterback Cam Newton (shoulder) is getting close to throwing again. There remains no timetable for Newton to return to action, however. It's the second straight offseason that Newton has had shoulder surgery. The 29-year-old remains one of the best dual-threat QBs in the league, but his shoulder […]

Chris Hogan Signs With Panthers

The Carolina Panthers signed free-agent wide receiver Chris Hogan to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday. The two-time Super Bowl champion with the Patriots can play outside or in the slot, and he tied DeSean Jackson in 2016 with 17.9 yards per catch. Hogan has 194 catches for 2,610 yards and 18 touchdowns in his […]

Christian McCaffrey Not Worried About Reduced Workload

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey said he's not worried about the team reducing his workload in 2019 after he played 91.3 percent of the offensive snaps last year. He played 75 more snaps than any other running back in the league and led all running backs with an NFL single-season record of 107 catches […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Carolina Panthers

The 2018 season was a lost one for the Carolina Panthers. It was apparent that Cam Newton was playing hurt towards the end of the season, likely costing this team a shot at the playoffs. The overall numbers were respectable for Newton (3,395 yards and 28 total TD) but during the fantasy playoffs, he disappeared […]

Browns Sign Morgan Burnett, Garrett Gilbert

The Cleveland Browns signed free-agent safety Morgan Burnett and quarterback Garrett Gilbert to undisclosed deals on Friday. Burnett was released by the Steelers on Monday after just one season and wants to play safety again after being used as a dime linebacker in Pittsburgh. Burnett will have a chance to win a starting job in […]

Panthers Re-Sign Cameron Artis-Payne

The Carolina Panthers re-signed running back Cameron Artis-Payne to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday. The team's fifth-round pick in 2015 has averaged 4.2 yards per carry in his first four NFL seasons, but he's too far down on the depth chart to have any real fantasy value in 2019. CAP has 118 career carries […]

Panthers Release Matt Kalil Thursday

The Carolina Panthers released left tackle Matt Kalil on Thursday. Kalil signed a five-year deal as a free agent just two years ago and he started all 16 games at left tackle in his first year before spending all of 2018 on Injured Reserve with a knee injury. Carolina this week also re-signed tackle Daryl […]

Matt Paradis Signs Three-Year Deal With Panthers

The Carolina Panthers signed free-agent center Matt Paradis to an undisclosed three-year deal on Thursday. Paradis was an adequate starting center for the Broncos the last four seasons after he was a sixth-round pick in 2014. He suffered a broken leg midway through last season but is expected to start at center after Ryan Kalil […]

Daryl Williams Staying Put

The Carolina Panthers re-signed offensive tackle Daryl Williams to a one-year, $7 million deal on Wednesday, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The 26-year-old is one of the better tackles in the NFL but is coming off a knee injury that held him to just one game last year. Williams was a second-team All-Pro […]

Steelers Begin the Post-Antonio Brown Era

It’s difficult to envision the Pittsburgh passing game being quite as prolific for fantasy purposes without Antonio Brown. Yet the Steelers have successfully moved on from top receivers before. Change is nothing new to them during the Ben Roethlisberger era. As noted by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Plaxico Burress left after Roethlisberger’s rookie campaign in 2004, […]
