Carolina Panthers
Cam Newton (Quarterback): After Andy Dalton has just embarrassed the Seahawks defense in overtime expect them to come out swinging as Cam Newton will try to find some open holes with his legs. Newton will have a tough time rushing on the Panthers and this will limit his game significantly. Newton is a low end QB 1.
Greg Olsen (Tight End): Olsen stumbled a bit in his last performance and should have a tough time against the Seahawks secondary. Olsen is the main target of Cam Newton's so I would not be surprised if he stepped up in such a big game. Olsen is a high tier TE2 for the Seahawks.
Jonathan Stewart (Running Back): Stewart has averaged around 50 yards a game which really does not make him fantasy relevant. He has no touchdowns on the season and will likely get vultured if he does not get in on the first attempt. Stewart is a sit for his date with the Seahawks defense.
Seattle Seahawks
Russell Wilson (Quarterback): Russell Wilson has had a pretty solid season and has made a ton of plays with his feet. Wilson should face a stiff test as the Panthers have given up the 4th fewest points to quarterbacks in fantasy football. Wilson is a low end QB2.
Jimmy Graham (Tight End): Graham has been invisible for most of the time he is on the field. It seems like every week Pete Carroll says he will figure out a way to get Jimmy Graham more targets and it never happens. Graham is facing a defense that has given up the fewest points of any team in the NFL against the tight end. There are better tight ends to start around the NFL.
Marshawn Lynch (Running Back): Lynch has missed the past two games with a hamstring injury and this has been pretty unnerving for his fantasy owners. Lynch has a good matchup as he faces a defense that has given up the 5th most points to running backs in fantasy football. Lynch could be on a snap count for his first week returning.
