Greg Olsen caught four passes for 40 yards in Thursday night’s loss to the Steelers.

Olsen was targeted a team-high six times, but Christian McCaffrey was basically the only source of offense as Carolina was destroyed on the road, 52-21. The Panthers will look to get back on track next Sunday against the Lions, and Olsen remains a solid, high-floor TE1 option on an offense with plenty of weapons.

Jesse James scores in Steelers’ win.

James caught one pass for eight yards and a touchdown against the Panthers, with the score coming on a pass in the flat where he was wide-open and basically walked into the end zone. Vance McDonald is the preferred fantasy option at tight end for the Steelers, so James doesn’t need to be owned in fantasy leagues.

Darrius Hayward-Bey catches one pass in Steelers’ win.

Heyward-Bey gained nine yards on his one reception against the Panthers, as he caught a pass in the flat that he took for a near-first down. DHB mostly contributes as a great special-teamer, so he’s not a fantasy option right now.

Curtis Samuel caught four passes for 18 yards in Thursday night’s loss to the Steelers.

He also rushed once for one yard, but Samuel’s biggest impact came on a fumbled kickoff as the Panthers were destroyed, 52-21. The Ohio State product isn’t a recommended fantasy option, but he should continue to make real-life plays for Carolina next week against the Lions.

Roosevelt Nix catches two passes against the Panthers.

Pittsburgh’s fullback caught a couple of passes in the flat which he took immediately up the field for positive yardage. Nix is a very good real-life contributor, but he’s not a fantasy option.

D.J. Moore handles five touches in Week 10 loss.

Moore caught four passes for 20 yards and rushed once for five yards. The rookie hasn’t been able to take advantage of a couple great matchup over the past two weeks, but he continues to see plenty of snaps. Moore should be viewed as an upside FLEX for next week’s matchup against the Lions.

Ryan Switzer catches two passes in Week 10.

Switzer gained 31 yards on his two receptions against the Panthers, as he was a reliable underneath/over-the-middle target for Ben Roethlisberger. The second-year receiver isn’t a fantasy option in standard-sized leagues yet.
