Scouting report

CAR QB Taylor Heinicke - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at New Orleans Saints

Taylor Heinicke had 274 yards and a touchdown against the Falcons last week, but he also threw three interceptions. Heinicke will get another opportunity to show what he has against the Saints this week, but New Orleans is better on defense than the Falcons and with such inexperience, it’s hard to recommend him in any lineups, especially in what will be a championship week for any owners still playing for something. He should stay on waivers.

Update:

Heinicke was placed on IR, meaning either Garrett Gilbert or Kyle Allen will be starting the final game of the season. Regardless of who takes snaps, fantasy owners should stay away.

CAR QB Taylor Heinicke - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Cam Newton looked awful against the Saints Monday night, partially because the Panthers have been struggling lately, and partially due to an ailing shoulder. As a result, the Panthers have shut Newton down for the rest of a lost season. Taylor Heinicke will get his first NFL start this week. He’s worth watching to see if the Panthers have a diamond in the rough, but he’ll be way too risky to trust in any fantasy format. Cam isn’t going anywhere after this season.
