The Panthers face Atlanta with two starters out, forcing a reshuffle—Corbett and Hunt land on IR with a grade-3 MCL sprain and a torn biceps. Cade Mays takes over center, Chandler Zavala steps in at guard, and Carolina tries to protect Bryce Young while keeping the run game functional. The early line change could shape fantasy outputs for WRs and RBs.

Expect a battering of quick throws and screens as the unit settles; if the replacements gel quickly, Carolina can maintain balance; otherwise, fantasy managers should re-evaluate protection-based targets and potential streaming options as the line develops chemistry.

Jadeveon Clowney joins Dallas amid an unsettled edge room, ready to play versus Chicago after no offseason or preseason. Snap count will be coach’s call, but his presence raises the Cowboys’ run defense and edge pressure, especially with Parsons traded to Green Bay.

Dallas stacks options with Fowler, Williams, Ezeiruaku, Kneeland and Houston, giving Schottenheimer flexibility to mix veteran savvy with youth. Fantasy managers should monitor rotation and opportunistic downs, as Clowney’s impact could come in bursts and situational pressure rather than heavy early snaps.
