Stewart taking #1 spot now??

[los locos]

i'm starting J.Stewart today over L. Johnson

I sat LJ too...who would have thought he'd do well two weeks in a row. I know Stewart will be my playoff stud!

Still pretty much a 50/50 split, but Stewart is still getting the goal line touches. Is it wrong of me to hope Williams get a minor injury to allow J-Stew to take over full time?

Of course that's not wrong

Stewart has been doing good so far, I was scared he wouldn't get as many carries as he is, but I think in the second half of the season he'll just get even more work.

A very wise man once said:

If you have to ask if something is unethical then it almost certainly is.

With a juicy matchup against KC in week 5, is he a legit RB2??

[pfwygalways]

No, I still see as a flex. Carolina hasnt shown anything as far as raising the load one way or another and until they do so he will not be rb2. He only gets the slight advantage with goalline carries. Carolinas now 3-1 with smith returning full force so they have no reason to do anything diffently.

For Week 5 I would say yes. He is likely to get anywhere between 15-20 carries as the Panthers are likely to work the ground game against the Chiefs. He's producing with his touches, and getting goal-line work, so with a great matchup like this weekend I think he is a solid RB2.

Yes, I agree. Week 5 yes, but there on out flex. until he proves he gets more carries. I think this even if he posts 120+ and 2 tds against kc.

I agree. I think that JStew now has worked his way into a back you can rely on consistently as an RB2. He's had 10, 14, 7 and 14 touches per game through four weeks. The 7 was in the loss to Minnesota, when Carolina went to the air to play catch up. Stewart scored a TD that week to save owners, and he has been getting goal line work every week.

I think his touches will remain anywhere between 12 - 17 per game for the remainder of the season, including the goal line work. That makes him more than serviceable as an RB2.

Carolina has home games 3 out of the next 4 weeks before their bye: vs. Kansas City, at Tampa Bay, vs. New Orleans, and vs. Arizona.

I don't know about you, but I'm gonna "Boogie with Stew" as my RB2 every single one of those weeks.
