Jonathan Stewart leads Panthers in rushing against the Patriots.

Stewart carried 14 times for 68 yards with a lost fumble in the win over New England, and he didn’t catch his only target in the passing game. Christian McCaffrey received six carries in the game, and it looks like Stewart will continue to have FLEX value as someone that’s gotten 12-18 carries each game this season. He gets the Lions in Week 5.

The G.O.A.T. delivers again in Week 3 victory for the Patriots.

New England was in a battle with the Texans, but Tom Brady delivered yet another fourth-quarter comeback with just over two minutes to go in the game. As usual, he stood in the pocket with poise and delivered strikes to his receivers to lead them down the field, even after they fell behind the sticks after a penalty early in the drive. The game-winning touchdown was a pinpoint pass to the front pylon to Brandin Cooks, capping off a predictable game-winning drive from perhaps the most clutch player in the history of sports. Overall, Brady was 25/35 for 378 yards and five touchdowns, with a lost fumble on one of the five sacks by the Texans. Over his last two games, the 40-year-old quarterback has thrown for 825 yards, eight touchdowns, and no interceptions. He’ll be the top option against the Panthers in Week 4.

Panthers offense breaks out as they upset the Patriots in Foxborough.

After three games of poor play from Cam Newton, he finally played better in a big win over the Patriots. Newton was 22/29 for 316 yards, three touchdowns, one interception, and eight carries for 44 yards and a touchdown rushing. Things didn’t start of great for Newton, who started off the game inaccurate and threw a bad interception into double coverage that was easily picked by Malcolm Butler, but he turned it on after. The Panthers were able to get chunk plays against a Patriots defense that continues to struggle mightily, and Newton was able to go to his strength—driving the ball to his big receivers. Several times, there were receivers wide open down the field, making things pretty easy for Newton. Things probably won’t be as easy against Detroit next week, but Newton looks like he’s back as a QB1.

Dwayne Washington (quad) will miss his second-straight game this week.

Washington is still dealing with his quad injury from a couple weeks ago, and he did not practice at all this week. He’ll try to get healthy for two Sundays from now against the Panthers.

J.J. Nelson (hamstring) is officially questionable for Week 4.

Nelson was also questionable for last Monday night against the Cowboys, and he played. Expect Nelson to be out there on Sunday against the 49ers, but be sure to check in ahead of the game. It’s also worth noting that John Brown is back after missing the last two games with a quadricep injury.

Jalen Richard sees three touches in Week 3 loss.

He rushed twice for four yards and caught a four-yard pass. The Raiders were thoroughly dominated by Washington, and Richard didn’t have a chance to get going behind Marshawn Lynch. Cordarrelle Patterson also lined up in the backfield and received a couple carries, so Richard doesn’t need to be owned in fantasy leagues.

Cordarrelle Patterson rushed twice for five yards in Sunday’s loss to the Redskins.

He also caught a seven-yard pass, and continued to return kicks. Patterson doesn’t get enough offensive touches to be a fantasy contributor. Keep him on the waiver wire.
