Important Note: The Panthers are required by the NFL to release a depth chart prior to their first preseason game.While this doesn’t necessarily indicate what the roster will look like come week 1
Da'Norris Searcy Jersey , there are still some things we can glean off the first depth chart.Christian McCaffery is already listed as the starting runningback. This is a good sign that he will get the lion share of touches compared to last season where he and Jonathan Stewart were more of a timeshare. Both Norv Turner and Ron Rivera want to get him 20-25 touches a game. While this may not be realistic, they are certainly standing firm with their commitment to give him the rock.Amini Silatolu is listed as the starting left guard, bringing us closer to the nightmare we all fear for week 1. The back up is listed as Jeremiah Sirles. Taylor Moton does not appear to be a factor here, though he should be penciled in as the starting right tackle until Daryl Williams returns (if at all).Torrey Smith is listed as the starting wide receiver opposite Devin Funchess, where they are flanked by Jarius Wright and DJ Moore. Honestly
Michael Palardy Jersey , I don’t see this changing. They clearly want to use Torrey Smith, and they tend to use receivers based on packages and committees anyway.Ian Thomas is listed as the 3rd tight end, making him TE2 until Chris Manhertz returns.Julius Peppers is listed as the starting DE opposite Mario Addison. As always, take that with a grain of salt. They will probably roll him out in a similar fashion to last season. Interestingly though, Marquise Haynes is listed ahead of DaeShon Hall and Bryan Cox Jr. That actually surprised me seeing as Hall and Cox both are returning players from last season. Generally Rivera is conservative with his rookies.Kevon Seymour is currently a starting cornerback. However
Cheap Shaq Thompson Jersey , based on Donte Jackson’s successful practices this could change at anytime. As expected, Mike Adams and Da’Norris Searcy are listed as the starting safeties, flanked by Colin Jones and Rashaan Gaulden. It is possible that doesn’t change at all. Despite many wondering why THE ACE THAT RUNS THE PLACE continues to stick around, he knows the defensive system and can contribute on special teams.Damiere Byrd is penciled in as the starting punt and kickoff returner. That would be a good indicator that the team wants to keep him, but a strong preseason showing won’t hurt everybody’s favorite 5th receiver’s chances.What are your thoughts CSR? I get lots of fantasy advice in my inbox regarding waiver wire pick-ups. Here are the ones I think make sense for Week 8.Fantasy Pros week 8 Waiver Wire SuggestionsOf course you can use Fantasy Pros to search the waiver wire for you and suggest the best players to pick up for each of your teams. I have all eight of my teams connected so that when I click on a player it tells for which of my teams the player is available. It’s pretty sweet really.I think Oakland running back Jalen Richard is the easily best pick up this week. He could get No. 1 running back carries while also being a pass catching option as well. A better but less available option is Browns running back Nick Chubb. With Carlos Hyde jumping into the Jacksonville fire it leaves the lion’s share of carries for the talented rookie. If you need a wide receiver then certainly Saints wide receiver Tre’Quan Smith has a chance to put up a big number sometime soon
http://www.pantherscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-torrey-smith-jersey , especially with Ted Ginn now on injured reserve. A second option is the Chargers Tyrell Williams. He is a boom or bust option but it was sure a boom last week.We have a stand out at the tight end position as well, a guy I actually picked up last week and he produced for me. That would be Bengals tight end CJ Ozumah. There no one else I would consider. At quarterback it is a little tougher to find a worthy selection. The only viable ones available generally are Joe Flacco and Case Keenum. This is a tough call but I would go with Flacco. Keenum has been terrible lately ... not counting their last game. That was more due to the defense killing the Cardinals. The Panthers secondary is going to give up some passing yards and a score or two. I’m not saying they will lose, just that I think Flacco will out score Keenum.Good luck to you!
