Panthers A Decent Streaming Option This Week

The Carolina Panthers defense/special teams is a decent streaming option this week against the Detroit Lions. Quarterback Matthew Stafford has struggled to get the Lions offense moving since wide receiver Golden Tate was traded away, and the offensive line has not been protecting him- giving up 20 total sacks in their last four games which […]

Greg Olsen A Strong Tight End Option This Week

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen is a strong tight end option this week in his matchup against the Detroit Lions. The Lions have given up and an average of 8.2 points to the position so far this season but they have not come up against many good tight ends so far this season. Olsen […]

D.J. Moore Not A Viable Starter This Week

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is not a viable starter this week for the game against the Detroit Lions. While the Lions have given up an average of 25.6 points this season to the position Moore has struggled to have any level of consistency recently, and for that reason, he can't be relied upon […]

Devin Funchess A Flex Option For Lions Matchup

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess is a flex option for his matchup against the Detroit Lions. The Lions currently give up an average of 25.6 points to the position, which should allow Funchess to bounce back from his recent struggles on the field. Funchess is yet to have more 45 yards since his impressive […]

Christian McCaffrey To Continue Good Form Against Lions

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey will look to continue his good form against the Detroit Lions. The Lions have shown themselves to be vulnerable to the run this season, giving up 21.6 points on average to the position. McCaffrey has been given the vast majority of the work in the backfield- that combined with […]

Cam Newton A Great Option Against Lions

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is a great fantasy option in this week's matchup against the Detroit Lions. Newton has a great opportunity, the Lions are currently giving up an average of 18.8 points to the position and the Panthers offense has looked decent so far this season. The Panthers need to bounce back from […]

Week 11 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

The New England Patriots put up 10 points, and the Buffalo Bills put up 41. In Week 10, the NFL remained unpredictable as ever, and that included the kicker position. When looking at the top five kicker scorers for this week, two of the top five were on teams with terrible matchups this week, but […]

Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

We're almost done with bye weeks, but Week 11 is another big one. Six teams will be on break which should again limit the number of waiver options available. It should but it won't, as this week will see several of the bottom dwellers in the league sitting out, namely the AFC East. This gives […]

Torrey Smith Doesn't Practice Tuesday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith (knee) did not practice on Tuesday. Smith last played on Oct. 21 and doesn't seem particularly close to returning. If he sits out another game this weekend, rookie D.J. Moore will continue to serve as the No. 2 receiver across from Devin Funchess. Smith remains on the waiver wire […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 11 Lightning Round

In case anyone felt in control after a chalky Week 9, the NFL brought a swift reminder of its chaos in Week 10. Among the low-owned studs and high-owned duds were a couple notable injuries, with Cooper Kupp's knee being the biggest (as of Sunday Night Football). We here at RotoBaller are here to get […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 11)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Panthers Sign Travaris Cadet

The Carolina Panthers signed free-agent running back Travaris Cadet to a one-year deal on Monday, according to a league source. The Panthers also cut C.J. Anderson on Monday, so Cadet will be third on the depth chart behind Christian McCaffrey and Cameron Artis-Payne. McCaffrey is a true workhorse back this year, so CAP and Cadet […]

Panthers Waive C.J. Anderson

The Carolina Panthers waived running back C.J. Anderson on Monday. Anderson just wasn't being used much behind workhorse Christian McCaffrey, as he was averaging just six snaps per game. McCaffrey has played 96.3 percent of the offensive snaps in nine games, which is more than any running back in the league. Anderson had only 24 […]

Week 10 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

I cannot believe it is Week 10 already! This season has flown by and things in the NFL are starting to settle down. The good teams are really starting to distinguish from bad and the pretenders are falling away a little bit. The same goes for the players in the consistency ratings. The best running […]

D.J. Moore Continues To Struggle Against Steelers

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore continued to struggle against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Two weeks ago, Moore looked as though he was going to be an important part of the Panthers attack- however, given his recent struggles fantasy owners might be thinking that the performances as of late are what are to be expected this […]

Devin Funchess Disappoints Against Steelers

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess had a disappointing game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Finishing the game with just three receptions for 32 yards, this was another game that Funchess will want to put behind him quickly.

Christian McCaffrey Sizzles Against Steelers

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey was extremely impressive in his matchup against the Steelers. McCaffrey was arguably the only Panthers player that had an impressive game, finishing with 77 yards and a touchdown rushing and also hauling in all five targets for 61 yards and two touchdowns. This game was on paper a tough […]

Greg Olsen Has Decent Outing Against Steelers

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen had a decent outing against the Pittsburgh Steelers. While Olsen owners would have hoped for a very impressive performance, his 40 yards from four receptions certainly isn't a massive disappointment- especially on a night where the Panthers offense on a whole struggled to make an impact on the game.

Cam Newton Disappoints Against Steelers

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton had a disappointing game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Newton struggled against the Steelers pass rush and wasn't able to escape the pocket. Newton finished the game with 193 yards from 23 completions, two touchdowns, and an interception. Newton also rushed for 10 yards, but that wasn't enough to save fantasy […]

Rebuilding Your Dynasty Franchise Through the Trade Market

I have six fantasy leagues. When I get asked my co-workers and friends like clockwork on Monday how I did each weekend in fantasy, my answer is almost always 5-1, or 4-2. Sure, I've had a week or two where I've gotten to say "undefeated" casually while I pour the coffee into my cup without looking, super […]

Panthers Defense Not A Good Option This Week

The Carolina Panthers defense/special teams is not a good option this week for fantasy owners. Coming up against the high-rated offense of the Pittsburgh Steelers the team is likely to give up a lot of points. Combined with the offensive line of the Steelers limiting the number of sacks, this is a likely tough matchup […]

Greg Olsen Should Impress In Matchup Against Steelers

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen has a great opportunity to continue his impressive form since his return from injury. The Pittsburgh Steelers have given up around ten points to the position since the start of the season, and with quarterback Cam Newton favoring his veteran tight end historically that gives Olsen a great chance […]

Curtis Samuel Likely To Disappoint Fantasy Owners This Week

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel is likely to disappoint fantasy owners chasing the points he scored in his last encounter. Samuel was very impressive in scoring two touchdowns in the matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but that was from extremely limited usage. Ultimately Samuel is not a favored option for quarterback Cam Newton, […]

D.J. Moore Has Limited Upside This Week

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore has limited upside this week. The Panthers rookie had been impressive since coming off of his bye week and had been very effective but the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game wasn't one to remember for him. Moore wasn't able to get very involved in the game, and […]

Devin Funchess Will Look To Bounce Back Against Steelers

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess will be looking to bounce back against the Pittsburgh Steelers this week. Funchess struggled against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in his last game, but the game flow meant that he just wasn't really needed. Christian McCaffrey was able to take control of the game, and quarterback Cam Newton was […]
