Which Carolina Panthers should you start or sit in fantasy football during their Week 3 matchup against the New Orleans Saints?

The Carolina Panthers left East Rutherford, New Jersey without a tick in the win column and are now the only team in the NFL to not force a turnover. In what should have been a winnable game, and almost was, the fanbase was left defeated, frustrated with coaching decisions, and calling louder for head coach Matt Rhule to be replaced.

The first half saw no touchdowns from either team as both clubs traded two field goals before heading to the locker room at halftime. In the end, former Panthers kicker Graham Gano sent Carolina home winless with a 37-yard boot with less than four minutes remaining.

Looking ahead to Week 3, division rival New Orleans Saints visit Charlotte for the first of two matchups this season. With Sean Peyton and Drew Brees out of the mix, Alvin Kamara is now the face of the franchise flanked by quarterback Jameis Winston, wide receiver Michael Thomas, do-it-all Taysom Hill, and a bevy of talented athletes on the defensive side of the ball.

While the game is played on the field, you are enjoying the competition in your fantasy football league for the coveted trophy and bragging rights. And this represents an important time depending on how your team has fared over the opening fortnight.

With this in mind, let’s look at the Panthers players to start or sit versus the New Orleans Saints in fantasy football on Sunday.
