CAR RB Fozzy Whittaker - Week 13, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 – Fozzy Whitaker vs. Minnesota

Fozzy Whitaker got some spot duty two weeks ago against the Falcons, and ended up with 11 yards on three carries. His role will likely reduce further with the return of Mike Tolbert from injury, and even if Tolbert isn’t immediately a part of the offense, he’ll be hard pressed to gain fantasy value as part of a three or four headed backfield. Leave Fozzy on waivers.

CAR RB Fozzy Whittaker - Week 11, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 – Fozzy Whitaker vs. Atlanta
Fozzy Whitaker had six carries and two receptions last week, but wound up with only 36 yards. He’s behind two other backs on the depth chart and that renders his fantasy value to be minimal for the time being. Until an injury claims one or both of the Panther starters again, Whitaker should remain on waivers.

CAR RB Fozzy Whittaker - Week 6, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 – Fozzy Whitaker vs. Cincinnati
Fozzy Whitaker didn’t end up getting the touches he anticipated against the Bears, and now it seems unlikely he’ll pass Darrin Reaves or Chris Ogbonnaya on the depth chart. Jonathan Stewart could also be back this week. While neither of those players were stunning last week, the Carolina running game has been so bad there’s no reason to expect Whitaker to suddenly step in and become a viable fantasy option. Owners should look elsewhere for an upside guy.

CAR RB Fozzy Whittaker - Week 5, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 – Fozzy Whitaker vs. Chicago

Fozzy Whitaker seems healthy and should get his chance against the Bears this week. The top three backs in Carolina are all injured (though Stewart may play this week), so Whitaker will try to stave off Darrin Reaves as the lead replacement back against the struggling Bears defense.

Whitaker is still not a great option though, and should only be considered a desperation start at this point, even assuming Stewart doesn't play. Fantasy owners will need to hope he stays healthy, gets the most carries, and manages to be productive with those carries behind one of the NFL’s worst offensive lines. That’s a tall order for Fozzy.

CAR RB Fozzy Whittaker - Week 4, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 – Fozzy Whitaker vs. Baltimore
Fozzy Whitaker has been banged up, along with the rest of the Carolina backfield, but he should get a chance to be the primary backup this week against Baltimore with DeAngelo Williams back, but Mike Tolbert and Jonathan Stewart both out. Whitaker may get some change-of-pace touches, but with a bad matchup, unless we find out Williams still isn’t good to go, Whitaker should remain on waivers.

CAR RB Fozzy Whittaker - Week 3, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 – Fozzy Whitaker vs. Pittsburgh
Fozzy Whitaker was in and out of the lineup last week, but ultimately didn’t get any touches, despite DeAngelo Williams sitting out with an injury. Whitaker had a couple nice looks in Cleveland a year ago, but he’s just a depth guy in Carolina. Don’t expect that to suddenly change while Williams and Jonathan Stewart are in the lineup. Leave Fozzy on waivers, no matter how cool his name is.

CAR RB Fozzy Whittaker - 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fozzy Whitaker is a versatile back out of Texas who had a couple good carries for the Browns last season in spot duty behind Willis McGahee. He finished with only 79 yards on the ground, but he caught 21 balls in limited work and scored two touchdowns receiving in the process.

Fantasy Upside
Whitaker is going to be vying for the backup to the backup role in Carolina behind aging DeAngelo Williams and oft-injured Jonathan Stewart. If he can make the roster (and things are looking better for him after the Panthers traded away Kenjon Barner), then Whitaker has some upside as a stash away player in large leagues.

Fantasy Downside
Until the two guys ahead of him actually get injured, Whitaker is not likely to see much work, and he’s also not guaranteed to make the roster. Those are pretty big factors when evaluating whether a fantasy owner should waste a draft pick on the second year back.

Bottom Line
Whitaker should be picked up and stashed the moment one of the top two backs in Carolina gets hurt, just in case the other guy gets hurt too and Whitaker takes over a starting role. He should not be picked up before then however.
