Carolina Panthers fantasy football outlook for Week 14 vs. Falcons

Cam Newton – Carolina Panthers QB

Though he’s spent most of the season on the couch, this bye week has come right on time for Cam Newton.

After a miserable performance against the Miami Dolphins, the quarterback has had more time to learn the playbook. Although it’s fair to wonder what this offense will be after coordinator Joe Brady was fired last week.

Start or Sit on Week 14?

START.

Burn the tape on the Dolphins game. Newton should bounce back against the lowly Atlanta Falcons who give up the second most amount of fantasy points to quarterbacks in the NFL.

Chuba Hubbard – Carolina Panthers RB

Did you hold on to Chuba Hubbard?

As the fantasy playoffs approach, those who didn’t might be kicking themselves after Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey will yet again miss the remainder of the season after suffering an ankle injury in Miami.

Hubbard’s performances were a mixed bag when he got the starting nod earlier this year. But against Atlanta in Week 8, the rookie had 91 yards from scrimmage, a touchdown, and a fumble for a total of 14.10 fantasy points.

Start or Sit in Week 14? 

START.

Hubbard is a really good flex candidate for this week. The Falcons allow more than 119 yards per game on the ground and only four teams give up more fantasy points per game to running backs than Atlanta.
