Week 9 Injury Status and Other News
He was not listed on Friday's official injury report.Week 9 Matchup Info
vs Carolina Panthers (Tough matchup) - The Panthers' pass D has been pretty respectable this year, actually, averaging a mere 160.6 net yards allowed per game, with nine passing scores given up vs. eight interceptions and 17 sacks generated (they are in the middle of the league in terms of interceptions and sacks generated so far this year). Two weeks ago, Ryan Fitzpatrick was held to 11/22 for 114 net yards, one TD and zero interceptions thrown. Kurt Warner was frustrated to the tune of 27/46 for 226 net yards, two TDs and five interceptions thrown last week, and nobody disrespects what the Cardinals' offense has to bring to the dance.However, the Panthers will face a difficult task when they invade the Louisiana Superdome this week - Drew Brees is tied with Matt Schuab for the most TDs thrown to date (16), and he's gone over 2,000 yards passing in just seven contest this year, with 2,006 yards passing so far. Brees has just six interceptions thrown, and he's only been sacked 11 times to date (tied for sixth-best in the NFL). Marques Colston is the sixth-best fantasy WR in points per game (PPR format), with 36/551/6 receiving this year - Jeremy Shockey is eighth among fantsy TEs with 31/376/3 so far. Take a look at last week's game vs. Atlanta for an example of Brees at his best; eight different receivers (led by Colston, 6/85/1, and Shockey, 5/72/0) caught at least two balls during the game, with four players going over 40 yards receiving (Robert Meachem had 2/47/0; Devery Henderson was next with 4/46/0). This team deploys a plethora of options for Brees to utilize, and yet manages to run the ball very effectively as well.
The Panthers have a great pass D this year, and they humbled a high-flying passer in Kurt Warner last week. Can they do it again? One thing is for sure, Brees and company are in for a tough divisional fight - but we can't see sitting the red-hot Saints even though this has the look of a tough game.
