Devin Funchess Expected To Play In A Limited Capacity

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess (back) is anticipated to play on Sunday, albeit in a limited capacity. Funchess didn't suit up during last week's loss to the Seahawks but was able to return to practice in full on Thursday. The 24-year-old has been relatively ineffective this season, accumulating a subpar 516 yards and three […]

Worrying About James Conner? Possible Pivot Plays

James Conner is having a great season by any metric you want to use.

The concern here is not how […]

Curtis Samuel Practicing Thursday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) is practicing on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Samuel should be fine to play in Week 13 against the Buccaneers. He has scored in three of the last four games and will be a sneaky DFS pick in a great matchup if Devin Funchess misses his second […]

Devin Funchess Returning To Practice Thursday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess (back) is set to return to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday.

Panthers Defense A Streaming Option Against Buccaneers

The Carolina Panthers defense/special teams is a streaming option, at best, this week in their matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While the Buccaneers have struggled to stop teams on defense their offense has been effective this season. The Buccaneers have scored at least 26 points in all their games this season apart from a […]

Greg Olsen A Clear Start This Week Against Buccaneers

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen is a clear start this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Olsen will be disappointed with his two catches for 11 yards against the Seattle Seahawks and will have reminded quarterback Cam Newton that he hasn't missed a step recently. Before that matchup, Olsen had scored four touchdowns in […]

Curtis Samuel A Risky Start This Week Against Buccaneers

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel could be a risky start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week. Samuel has scored four touchdowns in his last four games, scoring two of those against the Buccaneers in Week 9. The risk associated with Samuel is the limited opportunity that he has had this season with just […]

D.J. Moore Inline To Be Alpha Receiver This Week Against Buccaneers

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is in line to have an extended role and be the alpha receiver in his matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Moore has finished with a combined 248 yards and a touchdown in his last two games, and that should be improved going against one of the worst teams […]

Christian McCaffrey Looking To Continue Impressive Form Against Buccaneers

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey will look to continue his impressive recent form against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. McCaffrey has finished every game since Week 8 with either 100 yards or a touchdown, and has a great opportunity to build upon that with a very good matchup against the Buccaneers. In his recent Week […]

Cam Newton A Must-Start This Week

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is a must-start this week. Newton comes off the back of an impressive performance against the Seattle Seahawks to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who are one of the worst teams in the league at defending the position. Newton faced up against the Buccaneers in Week 9 and finished the […]

Curtis Samuel Dealing With Hamstring Injury

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. It remains to be seen if this is an injury that will keep Samuel out in Week 13 in an excellent matchup against the Buccaneers. With Devin Funchess also questionable to play, it means that rookie D.J. Moore could see a heavy target […]

No Practice For Devin Funchess

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess (back) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Funchess is looking to be on the wrong side of questionable for Week 13 against the Buccaneers after sitting out in Week 12. However, he could have WR2 upside if he plays against one of the worst defenses in the […]
