Carolina Panthers
Cam Newton (Quarterback): Newton has been absolutely on fire these last few weeks. The Saints have given up the most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season and this week should be no exception. In the last meeting between these two teams Newton through for 315 yards, completed 20 out of 31 passing attempts and had 3 total touchdowns.
Jonathan Stewart (Running Back): Stewart has been very productive recently and now he gets another chance to take advantage of a defense that has given up the most fantasy points to running backs. Stewart in the last contest against the Saints was supremely disappointing racking up only 52 yards on 14 rushing attempts.
Greg Olsen (Tight End): Olsen had a monster game the last time these teams faced off. He caught 8 of his 11 targets for 134 yards and 2 touchdowns. Olsen should be a heavy favorite as the top scoring tight end of the week as the Saints still give up the most fantasy points to tight ends.
New Orleans Saints
Mark Ingram (Running Back): Ingram will certainly be ready for the second meeting between these two teams. Ingram gained 50 yards on 14 rushing attempts but found his way into the end zone the last time these teams met. The Panthers give up the 14th fewest fantasy points to running backs, and are looking infinitely scarier in the second matchup.
Drew Brees (Quarterback): Brees has had a rough few weeks. In the first contest against Carolina Brees was out and did not play. He will try to get back on track against a team that has a top 5 defense and leads the league in takeaways with 18. Brees is an absolute sit this week.
Brandin Cooks (Wide Receiver): The Panthers have given up the 7th fewest fantasy points to wide receivers and often put the opposing team's best receiver in Norman's penitentiary. Josh Norman has shut down every big name wide receiver he can get his hands on, week 13 will be no different.
