Carolina Panthers

Cam Newton (Quarterback): The Giants have given up the 4th most points to quarterbacks and Newton should have absolutely no problem dicing this secondary to pieces. Newton has 8 touchdowns in 2 weeks and over 700 yards in that time frame as well. Newton's numbers can only get better playing a Giants defense that lacks any consistent pass rush or coverage skills.

Jonathan Stewart (Running Back): Stewart could miss this week thanks to a sprained foot, if he does it would be a real shame as the Giants have given up the 8th most fantasy points to running backs. If Stewart does miss time Cameron Artis-Payne and Fozzy Whittaker would be the primary backups.

Greg Olsen (Tight End): Olsen should be active for this matchup but will likely be somewhat limited whether that with his snaps or his ability to actually produce. He suffered a knee injury of some sort last week and apparently it turned out to be just a bruise or strain.  Olsen's status should be updated later on in the week but he is questionable for week 15. Have a backup plan in mind.

 

New York Giants

Odell Beckham JR (Wide Receiver): Norman VS Beckham, sounds like a prizefight. In week 15 we will see a great matchup between one extremely prolific wide receiver in Odell Beckham JR and the best cornerback of the year Josh Norman. Norman has shut down everyone from Dez Bryant to Julio Jones, now he will attempt to do it to Beckham. Beckham has 5 touchdowns in the last for weeks so he is coming into this matchup pretty hot but Norman is not your average matchup.

Eli Manning (Quarterback): Carolina has given up the 3rd fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks all season long and they are undefeated. If the Giants beat the Panthers they will immediately become Super Bowl contenders. Manning is a sit this week.
