Cam Newton, Kelvin Benjamin, Greg Olsen's Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 7

R. Cory SmithOct 19, 2014

A rough day for the Carolina Panthers against the Green Bay Packers was tough to watch for Panthers fans. However, it was a sight to behold for fantasy owners of the leading playmakers in Carolina.    

Cam Newton posted decent numbers with his arm and legs while his two leading targets thrived. Both Kelvin Benjamin and Greg Olsen had great performances to continue their consistent fantasy seasons.

Here's a look at the full statistics for all three players:

Att-Comp.17-31
Pass Yds205
Pass TDs-INT1-1
Rush Att-Yds-TDs7-41-0
Fantasy Points (Standard)16.3
Rec.38
Targets68
Rec. Yds61105
Rec. TDs10
Fantasy Points (Standard)12.110.5

Newton was mostly stymied in the passing game and was sacked three times, but his rushing numbers helped owners. A meager 41 yards on the ground is nothing compared to the 107 he compiled in Week 6, but it's clear he's a healthy dual-threat quarterback again.

His favorite receiver is still Benjamin, who snagged a fourth-quarter touchdown to save his day in fantasy. The Panthers' official account noted just how sensational the rookie has been this season:

While Olsen was unable to touch pay dirt, he had his first 100-yard receiving game of the season. Serving essentially the same role as a wide receiver, Olsen is emerging as one of the best tight ends in fantasy this year.

Coming up for the Panthers is a matchup with the Seattle Seahawks, followed by several favorable matchups. Playing against the New Orleans Saints, Philadelphia Eagles, Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings in consecutive weeks, look for all three to shine moving forward.
