Rivera: Panthers RB Cameron Artis-Payne will have the 'opportunity' to replace Jonathan Stewart

Mar 27, 2018

Ron Rivera said Cameron Artis-Payne "will most certainly get that opportunity" to replace Jonathan Stewart as the power back.

Fantasy Impact:

In his four career games where he's carried the ball at least 10 times, Artis-Payne has averaged 74 total yards and 0.75 touchdowns on 15.8 touches per game (including 14.5 rushing attempts and a 4.05 yards per carry average). The Panthers may add a runner in the draft, so the Panthers' power back competition is something to monitor as the summer wears on.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

The Eagles list QB Jalen Hurts as DNP on their estimated practice report because of a concussion, putting his status for this weekend in doubt.

Steelers WR George Pickens officially Active for Christmas Day

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
