Carolina Panthers Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Panthers S Xavier Woods (ankle) is active for today's game against the Steelers.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (hip) isn’t listed on the final Week 15 injury report. He didn’t practice on Thursday but returned to a limited workout on Friday. Johnson went through the same routine last week before playing his usual role in the loss to Baltimore. We’re expecting the same in Sunday’s game vs. Carolina.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (hip) did not practice on Thursday. He also sat out last Thursday before playing his usual role in the loss to the Ravens. We're expecting Johnson to be fine for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers, but check back tomorrow for another update on his status.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson remained allergic to the end zone in Sunday's loss to the Ravens. He did lead the team in targets (8), receptions (6) and receiving yards (82). TE Pat Freiermuth followed with 6 targets, catching 3 for 33 yards and a TD. WR George Pickens drew just 3 looks -- tied with 2 others for 4th -- but caught all 3 for 78 yards. Pittsburgh heads to Carolina in Week 15, likely without QB Kenny Pickett (concussion).

Eagles RB Miles Sanders racked up 144 yards and 2 TDs on 17 carries in Sunday's lopsided win over the Giants. His biggest strike came on a 40-yard scoring run in the 4th quarter, but Sanders would have averaged 6.5 yards per rush even without that play. He added 1 catch for 11 yards on 3 targets. RB Boston Scott added a rushing TD late in the 4th quarter as well, to go with 33 yards on 6 carries. Sanders gets another favorable matchup with the Bears in Week 15.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen caught 7 of 8 targets for 65 yards and a TD in Sunday's loss to the Lions. He trailed Justin Jefferson's lead in receptions, tying TE T.J. Hockenson for 2nd on the team in targets and ranking 3rd in yardage. Hockenson managed a 6-77 receiving line. WR K.J. Osborn claimed the other TD catch to go with 5 catches for 38 yards on 5 targets.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (hip) has been removed from the Week 14 injury report and will play vs. the Ravens on Sunday. He got in just limited practices on Wednesday and Friday this week, so it's safe to assume that he won't be at 100% tomorrow. Johnson is a weak WR3 play.

Panthers S Xavier Woods (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. We'll check his status Sunday, but Woods is a low-level IDP option.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (hip) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Ravens. He got in just limited practices on Wednesday and Friday, so it’s safe to assume that he won’t be at 100% if he plays on Sunday. Johnson, of course, has been a major fantasy disappointment even when healthy this season.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (hip) did not practice on Thursday. That follows a limited practice on Wednesday. We'll see if Johnson is able to practice on Friday and then how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Ravens.

Eagles RB Miles Sanders gained just 24 yards on 10 carries in Sunday's win over Tennessee, the league's toughest run D on the year. He did save his fantasy line with a 4th-quarter TD from 3 yards out. Sanders also caught both of his targets for 14 yards. RB Boston Scott carried 6 times for 16 yards and caught a pass for 5. RB Kenneth Gainwell added a 3-38 receiving line on 4 targets and 3 carries for 15 yards. The Philly backfield gets a better matchup with the Giants in Week 14.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson racked up 11 targets among 28 Kenny Pickett pass attempts in Sunday's win over the Falcons. That marked a 39.3% target share, in a game that saw no other Steeler top 5 looks. TE Pat Freiermuth finished 2nd, catching 3 of 5 targets for 76 yards. RB Jaylen Warren was the only other Pittsburgh player to catch more than 1 pass. WRs George Pickens and Steven Sims matched Warren at 2 targets. Pickens caught just 1 ball for 2 yards. Next for Pittsburgh comes the season's 1st matchup with the Ravens, who have been playing the run tougher than the pass.

Eagles RB Miles Sanders racked up 143 yards and 2 TDs on 21 carries in Sunday night's win over the Packers. He and QB Jalen Hurts (157 rushing yards) powered a 363-yard rushing performance for Philadelphia. Sanders added 3 receptions for 17 yards on 3 targets. RB Kenneth Gainwell added a rushing TD among 8 carries for 39 yards. Week 13 holds a much tougher rushing matchup with a Titans defense that has been toughest in the league on RBs.

Panthers WR Terrace Marshall (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Broncos. He’s not a recommended fantasy play against the league’s 4th-ranked WR defense.

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.
