Carolina Panthers Fantasy Football Analysis – Week 2

Week 2 – vs Houston – W 24-17

QB: Newton a huge game and did a lot of damage on the ground.  Receivers were dropping passes so he could have had more.  Looks good but will be limited by his targets on the field.

RB: Stewart an average game as line wasn’t giving him much.  Just couldn’t open holes for him to get past LOS.  Still looks great when he gets space.

WR: Ginn and Brown both good games with TDs but Ginn showed off pretty bad hands.  Funchess still not doing much but the door is certainly open for him to make a bigger impact.

TE: Olsen a nice game and will probably get even more targets if WRs keep dropping passes.  Should be strong in the coming weeks and probably rest of season.

OL: Not bad against tough D line.  Wasn’t doing a lot for run game but kept QB mostly clean.  Hard to ask for much more considering opponent.

Def: Helped by shaky QB play.  Shutdown run game.  Coverage wasn’t great and would have been torched by better passing game.  Gave up decent games to WRs.  Not much else.

Carolina Panthers Fantasy Football Analysis – Week 1

Week 1 – @ Jacksonville – W 20-9

QB: Newton suffered throwing to lesser talent and was rushed a bit.  Should be better going forward but a little concerned about the talent around him right now.

RB: Stewart an okay game but it was a tough match up.  Still looks really good when he gets room and should be a strong RB2.

WR: Corps is looking pretty ugly right now.  Cotchery might be the most consistent fantasy player but isn’t going to put up huge numbers.  Ginn just isn’t a starting WR.  Need to see much more of Funchess.

TE: Olsen blanketed in this one and this could be a sign of things to come.  Could be a really down year unless something changes with the WRs.

OL: Not great overall and needs a fair amount of work.  The pass protection was a little better in this one but not by much.  Both are still below average right now.

Def: Decent game against bad QB play.  Was getting run on, especially after Kuechly injury, and might be a weakness.  Gave up no big games.
