Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore hauled in a nine-yard touchdown in the Panthers' 44-38 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The touchdown reception was his only catch on the afternoon, and he only saw three targets.

Eddy Pineiro Looking To Get Back On Track In Week 18

Tommy Tremble Not A Good Start Against The Falcons

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble did not record a target in Week 17 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. During the season, Tremble only averages 1.3 receptions per game and has earned a 5.3% target share in the passing game.

Ja'Tavion Sanders A Desperate Tight-End Play In Week 18

Carolina Panthers rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders only saw one target in Week 17 and turned that into a five-yard reception in Sunday's 48-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Mike Boone Not A Good Fantasy Option In Week 18

Raheem Blackshear A Low-End RB3 Option For Week 18

Carolina Panthers running back Raheem Blackshear rushed for 20 yards on eight carries during Sunday's Week 17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Bryce Young A Low-End QB1 Option Against The Falcons

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said quarterback Bryce Young and the team's other starters will play in Week 18 against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The Falcon's defense has allowed the sixth most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2024. Young has been playing better lately, producing 17-plus fantasy points in four of […]

Tua Tagovailoa Unlikely To Play In Week 18 Versus The New York Jets

According to Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins are preparing to start quarterback Tyler Huntley on Sunday against the New York Jets as Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is "unlikely to play."

George Pickens Looking To Bounce Back Against Cincinnati In Season Finale

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens caught three of seven targets for 50 yards in the Christmas game 29-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Najee Harris A Solid RB2 Option Against The Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris has seen his fantasy production dip over the last three weeks.

In addition to that, they faced three top-10 defenses against the run. […]

Russell Wilson A Low-End QB1 In Week 18 Versus The Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson saved his Week 17 fantasy stat line on the ground as he rushed for a season-high 55 yards and a touchdown in the Christmas game loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
