QUARTERBACK
Cam Newton
———Derek Anderson

*The Panthers are going with 2 QBs after finally cutting 2nd round bust Jimmy Clausen. For fantasy purposes, only Cam Newton is relevant as Anderson has been terrible for a while now.

RUNNING BACK
DeAngelo Williams (GLB, 3DB)
———Jonathan Stewart (ankle – PUP)
———Kenjon Barner
———Mike Tolbert (hamstring) (GLB)
———Armond Smith

*Stewart has been placed on PUP and doesn’t even look like a lock to play in 2013 at this point. He’s undraftable in all leagues.
*Kenjon Barner could end up seeing a decent amount of carries. He’s not a factor in fantasy to start the year but his workload is something to monitor.
*FB Mike Tolbert is a legitimate goal line vulture; he had 7 TDs last year and should steal some scores again in 2013.

WIDE RECEIVER
LWR Steve Smith
———Armanti Edwards

RWR Brandon Lafell
———Ted Ginn (WR3)
———Domenik Hixon (hamstring)

*Smith and Lafell are locked in as starters with no real competition behind them.
*WR3 is a mess for Carolina but it will likely go to Ginn due to the amount of time Hixon has missed with a hamstring injury.

TIGHT END
Greg Olsen
———Ben Hartsock
———Richie Brockel
———Brandon Williams

*Olsen had a breakout year in 2013 and is locked in as the starter. Hartsock is no threat to steal reps from him.

KICKER
Graham Gano

*Gano has a big leg but is wildly inconsistent.
