Which Carolina Panthers players should you start or sit in fantasy football during their Week 4 game against the Dallas Cowboys?

We’ve quickly arrived at Week 4 of the NFL season. The three-game sample size has given fans, writers, and pundits a lot to debate. But one thing everyone can agree on is the Carolina Panthers have been one of the most impressive teams in the league so far.

Most view this Sunday’s matchup at the Dallas Cowboys as the first real “test” for Carolina. It will be a matchup of strength on strength.

The Panthers have the NFL’s best total defense and the Cowboys are top five in total offense. Aside from Tom Brady’s homecoming in Foxborough, this is sure to be the most discussed game of the week.

From a fantasy perspective, this is going to be one of the hardest games to predict.

While we’re only covering it from the Panthers’ side, it’s going to be legitimately difficult to project how players on both teams will perform.

One thing to watch out for will definitely be the running backs. For Dallas, is it wise to trust Ezekiel Elliot or Tony Pollard against the Panthers’ front-seven? For Carolina with Christian McCaffrey sidelined, what should fantasy owners expect from Chuba Hubbard and Royce Freeman?

Without further ado, let’s break it down and I’ll tell you who to start and sit prior to Sunday’s big game in Dallas.
