Find out which Carolina Panthers players to start and avoid this week in fantasy football.

The Carolina Panthers were off this past week and owners will certainly want to get some players back in their lineup with a good matchup against the New York Giants.

The offense appears to be clicking in Norv Turner’s offense and is coming off a strong performance against the Cincinnati Bengals. The player that had the most promising performance had to be running back Christian McCaffrey who finally was able to produce on the ground.

The second-year back has become a top running back in fantasy football, due in large part of his ability to catch the ball. In Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons, he had 15 receptions and followed it up with 184 rushing yards against the Bengals, which was a career high. The rushing total he had in Week 3 was over 42% of McCaffrey’s total rushing yards in 2017.

This is hopefully a sign of things to come for the dynamic running back and this matchup looks to be one that he could capitalize on in Week 5 against the New York Giants.

This is the fantasy football outlook for the Carolina Panthers on Sunday against the Giants.
