START ‘EM – D/ST

D/ST. Panthers. Carolina D/ST. 5. player. 87.

In the year when the Panthers went to the Super Bowl, a large part of it was because of how well their defense was playing. This year’s defense is looking pretty good as well and have been one of the best fantasy defenses to play through the early part of the year.

The Panthers defense is especially tough when they’re playing at home and now they’ll welcome in a Giants team that can’t do much offensively. Carolina is coming off a bye, so they’re not only refreshed, but they’re getting a Giants team that is an absolute mess and can’t seem to move the football much at all.

With the Giants being a cluster you know what offensively and the Panthers being one of the hotter defensive units, this is a match made in heaven for those owners who have the Carolina D in fantasy.
