Comment () | Share: Panthers | Marcus Ball signed to active roster Sat, 24 Sep 2016 21:42:55 -0700 Carolina Panthers S Marcus Ball was signed from the practice squad to the active roster Friday, Sept. 23. He replaces S Dean Marlowe (hamstring), who was placed on injured reserve earlier in the week. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Friday injury report for Carolina Fri, 23 Sep 2016 17:23:13 -0700 Carolina Panthers LB Jeremy Cash (hamstring) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 23, and is listed as doubtful for Week 3. OG Trai Turner (ankle) and DT Kawann Short (shoulder) fully participated in practice and are listed as questionable. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Jonathan Stewart ruled out for Week 3 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 10:54:29 -0700 Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings. Head coach Ron Rivera said he expects Stewart to miss two to three weeks. Fantasy Tip: Cameron Artis-Payne is expected to serve as the lead back, but Fozzy Whittaker and Mike Tolbert will be heavily involved as well. Even with the rash of injuries at the running back position across the league last week, none of the aforementioned players should be considered anything more than a RB3 this week. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Thursday practice report for Carolina Thu, 22 Sep 2016 21:55:34 -0700 Carolina Panthers SS Jeremy Cash (hamstring) did not practice Saturday, Sept. 22. DT Kawann Short (shoulder) was a limited participant, and OG Trai Turner (ankle) was a full participant. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Kawann Short back on the field Thu, 22 Sep 2016 10:09:42 -0700 Carolina Panthers DT Kawann Short (shoulder) is participating in practice Thursday, Sept. 22. Fantasy Tip: Short is on track to play this week and should be an attractive option for owners in IDP leagues. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Cameron Artis-Payne to be feature back Wed, 21 Sep 2016 19:03:14 -0700 Carolina Panthers RB Cameron Artis-Payne is expected to serve as the feature back in Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings. "All he's ever needed was the opportunity," head coach Ron Rivera said Wednesday, Sept. 21. "We didn't have (RB Jonathan Stewart) at the end of the season, so he got his opportunity and performed well and did some really good things. And then this preseason, I thought he had a really good preseason." Fantasy Tip: CAP was inactive for the first two games, but mainly due to his inability to play special teams. He faces a difficult matchup in his first game, as the Vikings have a strong rush defense. Still, he is worth scooping up as a RB3 and as a low-priced flyer in DFS, as it sounds like he will see more carries than Fozzy Whittaker. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Carolina's Wednesday injury report Wed, 21 Sep 2016 13:09:46 -0700 Carolina Panthers OG Trai Turner (ankle) and LB Jeremy Cash (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 21. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Kawann Short misses practice Wed, 21 Sep 2016 13:06:28 -0700 Carolina Panthers DT Kawann Short (shoulder) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 21. Fantasy Tip: Owners in IDP leagues should keep an eye on the situation because Short is one of the better defensive tackles. He is a must-start option if he is active for Week 3. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Jonathan Stewart not on the field Wed, 21 Sep 2016 12:53:39 -0700 Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 21. Fantasy Tip: Stewart is expected to miss at least one week because of the injury, so owners should avoid him in all leagues. Fozzy Whittaker and Cameron Artis-Payne likely will share snaps in Week 3 and can be flex options in most fantasy leagues. Comment () | Share: Panthers | CAR to use RB committee Wed, 21 Sep 2016 07:32:56 -0700 Carolina Panthers RB Fozzy Whittaker, RB Cameron Artis-Payne and FB Mike Tolbert will split carries by committee with RB Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) out, according to offensive coordinator Mike Shula. Fantasy Tip: Whittaker and Payne could see the lion's share if one of them is hot. Both are flex options in fantasy. Tolbert figures to see short-yardage carries and doesn't have much fantasy luster except in TD-only leagues. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Dean Marlowe heads to IR Tue, 20 Sep 2016 19:11:35 -0700 Carolina Panthers S Dean Marlowe (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Sept. 20. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Fozzy Whittaker the main back Tue, 20 Sep 2016 13:41:45 -0700 Carolina Panthers RB Fozzy Whittaker was in on 49 offensive snaps in Week 2 in light of RB Jonathan Stewart's (hamstring) early exit. RB Cameron Artis-Payne did not receive any snaps. Fantasy Tip: Whittaker will be the Panthers' go-to running back assuming Stewart is out for Week 3. Whittaker ran for 100 yards and caught three passes for 31 yards last week. He and the Panthers face stiff competition in the Minnesota Vikings, though. View Whittaker as a low-end RB2 to high-end RB3 with added value in PPR leagues if Stewart can't play. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Jonathan Stewart undergoes MRI Mon, 19 Sep 2016 19:04:31 -0700 Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) was scheduled for an MRI Monday, Sept. 19, to determine the severity of the hamstring injury he suffered in Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers. Fantasy Tip: As mentioned earlier, head coach Ron Rivera said he expects J-Stew to be sidelined at least a week or two, so look for Fozzy Whittaker and Mike Tolbert to carry the load in Stewart's absence. Cameron Artis-Payne should also be up after being inactive the first two games. Whittaker is your best bet as a fantasy replacement. Comment () | Share: Panthers | Jonathan Stewart likely out for Week 3 Mon, 19 Sep 2016 10:23:34 -0700 Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) is expected to miss "at least a week or two" after suffering a hamstring injury in a Week 2 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, according to head coach Ron Rivera. Fantasy Tip: Given his lengthy injury history and track record for recovery, owners can probably expect Stewart to miss at least two weeks. Fozzy Whittaker totaled 131 yards in relief Sunday, but Rivera was quick to talk up second-year running back Cameron Artis-Payne, who has been inactive the first two weeks. For Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings, expect the Panthers to go with a hot-hand approach with Whittaker getting the first shot to make an impression. In a difficult matchup, he's a low-floor and unexciting flex option. Comment () | Share:  |
