The Carolina Panthers are a hard team to predict this season. You are not sure which team is going to show up from week to week. They have scored 20 points or less four times, and 20 points or more three times. Should you risk starting any Panthers players on your fantasy football team?
My Week Eight Projections:
- Cam Newton: 15 pts (200 passing yards, 2 touchdowns, 30 rushing yards)
- Kelvin Benjamin: 12 pts (65 yards, 1 touchdown)
- Jonathan Stewart: 13 pts (75 rushing yards, 1 touchdown)
- Greg Olsen: 11 pts (55 yards, 1 touchdown)
- Panthers Defense: 5 pts
My week eight recommendations:
Must Start: Kelvin Benjamin, Greg Olsen
Sit: Cam Newton, Panthers Defense, Jonathan Stewart, Fozzy Whittaker
Breakout Player: Brenton Bersin
The Super Bowl Champions are coming to Charlotte this Sunday to play the Carolina Panthers. The Seattle Seahawks have struggled to produce a victory the past two weeks and they are hungry. The Seahawks are known for their run game and lock down defense. This combination does not sit well for the Panthers. But, with both teams struggling someone has to come out on top.
Cam Newton will have to make the plays on offense, and the defense will have to remember how to tackle for the Panthers to be successful. Kelvin Benjamin and Greg Olsen will need to find a way to get open in order for the Panthers to have a shot at winning this game. Benjamin will have to use his size to get open against Richard Sherman. Stay away from the running backs and Newton this week.
What were my week seven fantasy football projections?
My Week Seven Projections:
- Cam Newton: 30 pts (250 passing yards, 2 touchdowns, 65 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown)
- Kelvin Benjamin: 14 pts (80 yards, 1 touchdown)
- Jonathan Stewart: 13 pts (75 rushing yards, 1 touchdown)
- Greg Olsen: 13 pts (70 yards, 1 touchdown)
- Panthers Defense: ?
My Week Seven Review:
The Carolina Panthers had one of the worst weeks on offense and defense all year. Superman’s kryptonite continues to be the offensive line. The offensive line did not block and Cam Newton was pressured all game. Newton had very little time to make any decision so he struggled to make the throw and get out of the pocket to make the play. Kelvin Benjamin and Greg Olsen continue be Newton’s only and best options on offense. They had another double digit fantasy week and that trend should continue.
Week Seven Results (According to ESPN):
- Cam Newton: 14 pts (205 passing Yards, 1 touchdown, 1 interception/ 41 rushing yards)
- Kelvin Benjamin: 12 pts (3 receptions, 61 yards, 1 touchdown)
- Jonathan Stewart: 6 pts (13 attempts, 50 rushing yards)
- Greg Olsen: 10 pts (8 receptions, 105 yards)
- Panthers Defense: -2 pts (38 PA)
Is Kelvin Benjamin a top 10 fantasy wide receiver?
