Carries are now shared among several players, not just one. In many cases, this scenario devalues the running back position in fantasy football. Sure, DeAngelo Williams is one of the most talented runners in the NFL. In fact, he led his position with 270 fantasy points in 2008. But how much confidence can you really have in him to post solid numbers on a consistent basis with Jonathan Stewart also in the Panthers' backfield mix? In fact, Williams' 2009 numbers went down to 166 fantasy points, while Stewart rose from 135 in 2008 to 178 in 2009.

If you put Williams and Stewart in featured roles on two different teams, you're looking at two surefire first-round selections. But with both players in the same backfield, even in the run-based Panthers' offense, owners are certain to deal with some frustration.

fantasy football is gay.... but men who wear earrings aren't?

I don't know. I've never paid much attention.

Just what is wrong with wearing them anyway? I don't, but then again, I don't have a couple thousand to drop on some decent jewelry.

And with that, what is wrong with gay people?

:P

Chris Johnson had like 360 carries last year... You had better have a rabbit's foot, 4 leaf clover, and a horseshoe handy if you think he is going to make it through the year. Thats unless they find someone to share the load. However he should definitely be the first 1 or 2 RB's selected.

That is one of the reasons I don't follow fantasy football. What may be good for a football team isn't in fantasy football and vice versa. Look at our secondary for example. They won't put up big individual numbers because we play a cover 2 scheme. Yet we have a highly ranked pass defense. Other players in much poorer schemes get bigger numbers because they play man and frequently blitz. Besides the whole rooting for players and not teams goes against my grain.

no way does a QB go in the first round. maaaaaybe 2nd but not first....unless it is in a start 2 QB league or the QB points are through the roof.

not one league that i am in will a QB go in the first unless there is some novice that comes in but that isn't too often at all.

there will be more WRs in the first round, though. first four picks will most likely be )(in no particular order) chris johnson, adrian peterson, ray rice, and maurice jones-drew. after that it is pretty much a crap shoot.

i understand your point. nothing will ever change my love for the panthers, but the cool thing about FF, and probably the reason it was created, is because it gives you a reason to watch games that otherwise you wouldnt be interested in. it helps you learn about other teams other than the panthers. i have learned alot about football from playing over the years.

People say the same thing about Madden as well. Not a big fan of that either. Oh well.................

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
