Fantasy owners have been waiting for one of the Panthers RBs to emerge and J-Stew should be the guy that Rivera gives the rock to. Rivera confirmed that he wanted to get one RB in a rhythm instead of rotating all three guys in and out of the lineup. It’s about time.
Stewart is a top 5-10 talent at the RB slot, but the most carries he has received this season is 11. That’s about to change. The issues is the offensive line is banged up and underperforming. Either now, or after this game would be the ideal time to trade for Stewart as the schedule lightens up.
