Week 16 CSR Panther Fantasy Sleeper of the Week

by Jaxon on Dec 23, 2011 9:01 AM EST in Sponsored Posts

I'm starting to sound like a broken record with my sleeper selections so instead I'm going to give a full run down on the Panthers fantasy prospects this weekend. If you are still in it this is a big week for you. Either its your championship week or the semi-finals so no taking flyers this week. My advice is to stick with the girl you took to the dance. But if you are forced to make a tough decision this week regarding a Panther then consider this.

QB Cam Newton and WR Steve Smith are automatic starts every week. Newton ran for 3 TDs in the first meeting and Smith is 3rd in receiving yardage in the league.

RB Jonathan Stewart is a good play this week as he loves to run over the Bucs. He should get 60 to 80 yards and a TD.

TE Jeremy Shockey is on a tear as well. He is the better choice this week versus Greg Olsen. One of the two will probably score with my money on Shockey.

RB DeAngelo Williams is probably the best 'sleeper' pick of bunch this week. He has scored 4 TDs in the Panthers last four games. He won't get a ton of yardage but he could score once or even twice.

With QB Josh Freeman back in the huddle I think the Bucs will give the Panther defense plenty of fits and are therefore not a good play.

K Olindo Mare might be a good play this week...if your kicker blew his ACL out last week. He should get plenty of chances this week and make a few of them.

Though he remaining Panther WRs Brandon LaFell and Legadu Naanee had good games against the Bucs earlier this season they are not consistent enough to play this week. The Panthers will certainly focus on running the ball giving both players about 3 or 4 targets max this game. That is not what you want when your season is on the line.

The caption I got in my mind after seeing it was “Son why are you still talking, go sit in the corner for 15 minutes until you know you’re role.”

Championship Time

Thanks to Cam and Steve I am in my Yahoo public league title game. Actually drafted Cam but played Matt Stafford the first two games until convinced #1 was the real deal. Got lucky in the autopick and got Steve who led me to my first championship a few years ago.
Been a fun year. Go Cats!!!

They're playing the Bucs

I'm just glad my fantasy football season is over

Finally I can enjoy some games without having to keep track of what is going on in every game because I have points riding on it. BTW…a huge congratulations are in order to CSR member Orey Dixon who defeated me in the championship game last week. He had the last playoff seed and upset Rick Bates’ team which was 12-1, then defeated me by eight to claim the championship.

I'm in the finals in mine

Reggie Wayne put me in a hole last night, while my Owen Daniels laid an egg. Here’s to hoping I can pull out bragging rights on my boss

Dont feel bad

Daniels laid an egg for me last week so I know how you feel. Hopefully, the rest of your team picks him up.

Yeah if you have a Panther (not defense unless you just have to play them) then play them. 3(?) records are gonna fall this saturday (Football on Christmas Eve? Its a Festivus miracle) and the Panthers can have the momentum of sweeping a divisional opponent.

Go Panthers!

Personally I wouldn't start Stewart or Williams.

You just never know which 1 will play I would rather go with a RB that is a main guy than 1 or ours. I also wouldn’t start Lafell. Just because he is the #2 now, doesn’t mean Legatron won’t play just as much.

My choice is between Stewart and Brandon Jacobs? Who would you choose for that?

That's a tough call.

Since they are both second string I guess I would take Stewart. When I said I wouldn’t start Williams or Stewart, I meant if I had a first string option. Stewart would be my choice over any other second string player.
