Carolina Panthers running back Fozzy Whittaker is expected to get the start this week in Jonathan Stewart 's likely absence. Mike Tolbert will also be in the mix and rookie Cameron Artis-Payne is expected to be active as well.
Fantasy Analysis:
Despite the claims that Whittaker will start this game, which he will, if Stewart misses more than one game we believe Artis-Payne will lead the backfield sooner rather than later. It's not safe to sit any of the Panthers' running backs this week, however, if you're searching the waiver wire Artis-Payne has the most upside.
