Carolina Panthers Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Panthers WR Terrace Marshall (shoulder) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Broncos. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice, so he should play. But Marshall would be a shaky fantasy start against the league’s 4th-ranked WR defense.

Coming off a pair of bad outings, Saints QB Andy Dalton proved efficient and productive in Sunday's win over the Rams. He completed 21 of 25 passes for 260 yards and 3 TDs. Dalton found WR Chris Olave for a 53-yard score, tossing his other 2 TDs to TE Juwan Johnson and WR Jarvis Landry. Olave was the only Saint to crack 50 receiving yards, taking his 5 catches for 102 yards. New Orleans heads to San Francisco in Week 12.

Saints QB Andy Dalton will start Sunday's game vs. the Rams, HC Dennis Allen said Wednesday. Dalton has been bad the past 2 weeks, averaging just 6.9 yards per attempt with 2 TDs but 3 INTs. Allen said the staff considered going back to QB Jameis Winston but that he still isn't 100% healthy and might not be for the rest of the season.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson caught 4 balls for 63 yards on 5 targets to lead a lackluster passing effort in Sunday's win over the Saints. TE Pat Freiermuth tied Johnson for the team lead in catches. RB Jaylen Warren and WR George Pickens checked in next at 3 receptions apiece, with rookie TE Connor Hayward the only other Steeler to catch multiple passes. Week 11 brings a Bengals defense that has been better than New Orleans'.

Saints QB Andy Dalton threw for just 174 yards, with 1 TD and 2 INTs in Sunday's loss at Pittsburgh. It was just his 2nd multi-INT game of the year but the 5th time in 7 starts that Dalton has thrown just 1 TD pass. New Orleans fell short of 200 total yards and scored just 10 points. We wouldn't be surprised to see coaches switch back to QB Jameis Winston ahead of next Sunday's home date with the Rams.

As expected, Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) is active for tonight's game vs. the Falcons. He was listed as questionable but put in full practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, so he should be at least close to 100%. We're projecting D'Onta Foreman to lead Carolina's backfield tonight, but there's some uncertainty here considering we haven't seen a full game with Foreman and Hubbard together since the Christian McCaffrey trade.

Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) plans to play tonight against the Falcons, "barring surprise," according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. We'd still bet on RB D'Onta Foreman leading the Carolina backfield in carries in this high-upside matchup.

Raiders LB Blake Martinez announced Thursday that he's retiring. It's a shocking move, given that Martinez had made his way into the Raiders lineup after getting his release from the Giants at the start of the season. Martinez appeared in line to start this Sunday against the Colts after the team placed Divine Deablo (forearm) on IR. It's not yet clear who the Raiders will have at LB this weekend. In addition to Deablo and Martinez, Denzel Perryman (hip, ribs) did not practice Wednesday. Jayon Brown -- a healthy scratch in Week 9 -- Luke Masterson and Darien Butler are next in line. Martinez played 5 seasons with the Packers (4) and Giants before losing most of 2021 to an ACL tear.

Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Falcons. He put in full practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, though, so we're expecting Hubbard to play. We'll get Carolina's inactives around 7 pm ET tomorrow.

Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice. That should have him in line to return for Thursday night's game vs. the Falcons. Hubbard was playing ahead of RB D'Onta Foreman before going down in Week 7. We're projecting Foreman to lead the way against Atlanta, but there's some uncertainty to this backfield in Week 10.

Eagles RB Miles Sanders gained 93 yards on 17 carries against the Texans in Week 9. He also found the end zone for the 3rd straight week. Those scores have been critical, as Sanders has now gone 2 straight games without a target. (He’s topped 2 catches in a game only once all year.) The 25-year-old is on his way to perhaps the best pure rushing season of his career. Just be aware that he’s likely to disappoint over the next couple of weeks as his TD rate slows. In Week 10, he'll face a tough Washington run D. Sanders tallied just 12-40 against the Commanders back in Week 3.

Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. He got in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday but was sidelined on Friday.. With Hubbard out last week, RB D'Onta Foreman played 68% of Carolina's offensive snaps and exploded for 118 yards and 3 TDs on 26 carries. The matchup is much tougher on Sunday, but Foreman is a volume-based RB2 play in fantasy lineups.

Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) remained limited in Thursday's practice. We'll see what he does on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Bengals.

Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. That gives him a shot to play vs. the Bengals this weekend, but we'll monitor his progress over the next few days. We'd expect Hubbard to return as Carolina's #2 RB after D'Onta Foreman's impressive Week 8.

The Steelers managed just 196 passing yards on 40 attempts (4.9 per attempt) in Sunday's lopsided loss to the Eagles. QB Kenny Pickett threw for 191 yards and an INT while taking 6 sacks. WR Diontae Johnson led the team with 9 targets, catching 5 for just 35 yards. TE Pat Freiermuth checked in 2nd with 7 targets and led the team with 57 receiving yards (on 4 catches). WR Chase Claypool posted a 4-45 receiving line on 6 targets. Rookie WR George Pickens managed 0 catches on 3 targets. The team's lone TD came on a 1-yard pass from Claypool to FB Derek Watt. The Week 9 bye will probably be good for this team.

Broncos LB Josey Jewell is off the final injury report for Week 8. He missed the past 2 games after leaving Week 5 early with a knee injury. Jewell remained limited the 1st 2 practices this week but put in a full Friday and carries no game designation. He's fine as a low-LB2 or LB3 for fantasy football use this week and has moved up our Week 8 IDP rankings. LB Alex Singleton does not belong in IDP lineups with Jewell back. Denver also ruled EDGE Baron Browning (hip) out vs. the Jaguars.

Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) is out for this weekend's game vs. Atlanta. So much for that ankle injury being minor. We'll see if Hubbard can make it back for Week 9, but his absence on Sunday leaves D'Onta Foreman as Carolina's lead back. Interim HC Steve Wilks said Friday that undrafted rookie RB Raheem Blackshear will have an increased role this week, but we're expecting Foreman to handle most of the backfield work.

Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) missed his 2nd straight practice on Thursday. He seems to be in real danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Falcons. That'd leave D'Onta Foreman as Carolina's clear lead back -- and a volume-based RB2 in fantasy lineups.

Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. ESPN's Adam Schefter said earlier this week that Hubbard could have returned to last week's game vs. the Bucs, so we're tentatively expecting him to play against the Falcons this weekend. But it'll be a different story if he's still sidelined on Thursday. Check back then for another update.

Saints HC Dennis Allen said Wednesday that he's sticking with QB Andy Dalton as his starter. "Jameis [Winston] is back healthy right now. We're going to go with Andy as we sit here right now," Allen said. "If we continue to play well offensively and move the ball offensively, Andy will stay in there." The Saints are 1-3 under Dalton, but they're averaged 31 points per game. It's been a run-leaning offense, with Dalton averaging just 32.8 pass attempts per game. He ranks 16th among QBs in fantasy points per game over the last 4 weeks. Consider this good news for RB Alvin Kamara -- although there's still a solid chance New Orleans goes back to Winston at some point this season.
