Carolina Panthers fantasy football outlook for Week 4 at the Cowboys
D.J. Moore – Carolina Panthers WR
D.J. Moore was the toast of the town on Thursday night. He caught eight of 12 targets for 126 yards, bringing his grand total of fantasy points to 20.50.
We’re coming to the point in the season where teams know Sam Darnold will target Moore often, so it’ll be interesting to see how defenses – and Joe Brady – adjust.
Start or Sit in Week 4?
START.
Despite the stellar play of Dallas Cowboys’ second-year cornerback Trevon Diggs, their squad is still allowing an average of 43 fantasy points to wide receivers, the sixth-highest in the NFL. With the target share Moore is getting, he should continue to produce.
Robby Anderson – Carolina Panthers WR
You deserve a pat on the back if you’ve remained patient with Robby Anderson. The lack of targets for the recently paid wideout is a glaring issue for this offense and head coach Matt Rhule is certainly aware.
Per David Newton of ESPN, Rhule said the team needs to find a way to get Anderson the ball.
An in-depth look at the film like this one by Pro Football Hall of Fame signal-caller Kurt Warner shows that Darnold needs to do a better job at finding Anderson while going through his progressions.
Start or Sit in Week 4?
START.
The aforementioned Dallas pass defense is one good reason. And usually, when the head coach specifically tells the media a player needs to get more targets, offensive coordinators find ways to make it happen.
Terrace Marshall Jr./Tommy Tremble – Carolina Panthers WR/TE
The priority should be Anderson, but it would be nice if Terrace Marshall Jr. got the ball more too. Against Houston, he caught four balls for 48 yards and has yet to make a blip on the fantasy radar.
Despite the slow start, it feels like Marshall could have a breakout game in the near future.
Fellow rookie Tommy Tremble showed a glimpse of why the Panthers selected him in the third round. He had 30 receiving yards and a rushing touchdown and should see the field a lot more with the departure of Dan Arnold.
Start or Sit in Week 4?
SIT Both.
While this isn’t a bad matchup to test the waters, I don’t expect the rookies to move the needle in fantasy just yet.
