The Week 8 Thursday Night Football game featured an NFC South divisional matchup between the Atlanta Falcons and the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, NC. The teams met for the 54th time on Thursday, with the Falcons leading in the all-time series 32-19 entering the contest.
With their 25-20 win over the 49ers this past Sunday, the Eagles picked up their first win of the season. At 1-2-1, they now find themselves in first place in the extremely weak NFC East division. The Birds have been hit very hard with injuries this season, with several to their receiving corps and offensive line. If they are going to win the division and go past the first round in the playoffs, they will have to get some pieces at their positions of need. With that in mind, let’s take a look at players they could target before the November 3 trade deadline.
The waiver wire is crucial to fantasy football success. Maybe even more so after Week 2 this year, because of the plethora of injuries that occurred. Here are some waiver wire adds and drops after Week 2.
To help fantasy football players with their roster construction, three of our writers have provided some insight on which players they would start, would sit, and consider a sleeper for this week. Be sure to follow all of them on twitter and ask any of The Scorecrow’s fantasy writers for fantasy advice.
Last week was interesting, to say the least. It wasn’t a good week, but it wasn’t a terrible week. We can look forward to there not being any obvious and ridiculously cheap chalk such as Nelson Agholor, and we are getting to the point in the season where some occurrences are less random and skill takes over.
With that said, let’s get to the cheap looks for this week.
Week one is complete and it definitely did not disappoint. Week two gets started with a divisional battle between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs the Carolina Panthers. This game will not be anything like last week’s offensive snooze fest. In fact, there will be more scoring in the first half, maybe even the first quarter than all of last week’s game. Let’s take a look at this week’s DFS matchups on FanDuel and DraftKings.
First, I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Kevin Walsh, and I am from Pittsburgh, PA. I have been playing DFS since DraftStreet still existed. This is my first season writing for The Scorecrow, and this is my first tournament rundown. I have written about DFS before, so hopefully, that shouldn’t be too much of an issue. I am a huge football and hockey fan, and I am always so engulfed in fantasy sports from September until January. I plan to give you a peek inside what I have going on in my head and hopefully lead you to some DFS success (as well as myself, of course), but enough about me, let’s get to the good stuff.
The Carolina Panthers finished the 2018 season with a record of 7-9 and missed the playoffs. The Panthers were looking to improve on an 11-5 season in 2017 and started off strong in 2018 with a 6-2 record. The Panthers then went on a seven-game losing streak, ending their playoff hopes.
Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is a terrific all-purpose threat who can run between the tackles and take a screen pass to the end zone. He’s one of the best pass-catching backs in the NFL. McCaffrey broke out in a big way in 2018:
Julie Hatley takes a look at the Carolina Panthers’ latest addition of former Patriots receiver Chris Hogan.
The Carolina Panthers have signed wide receiver Rashad Ross to a one-year deal. Julie Hatley looks at what the former AAF player has to offer, and if he will make the team’s opening roster.
Greatest show on grass? Will the Panthers offense compare to the Rams offense of the early 2000’s and Chiefs of 2018? El Grande Gato thinks so.
