Game Preview
Mike Krueger

Predicted Score: Panthers 23, Texans 10

Texans: Houston took advantage of turnovers last week in route to an easy 20-3 victory over the Chiefs. QB Matt Shaub connected with Andre Johnson on a deep ball and Ahman Green looked fit gaining 73 yds on 16 carries. The Texans face a stiffer test this week on the road against Carolina who easily handled Steven Jackson and the Rams passing game on the road in Week 1. Andre Johnson is one of the better fantasy receivers in the game and remains a good play but points may be hard to come by this week.

  • Start: WR Andre Johnson
  • Consider: RB Ahman Green, QB Matt Schaub, TE Owen Daniels
  • Sit:WR Jacoby Jones, RB Ron Dayne

Panthers: Everything clicked for Carolina last week in their victory over the Rams. WR Steve Smith looked like… well, Steve Smith and DeShaun Foster and DeAngelo Williams carved up the Rams defense for 156 rushing yards. All should be good plays again this week at home against a solid but still work-in-progress Texans defense. Drew Carter took a giant step in claiming the #2 wide receiver position with 2 TDs while rookie Dwayne Jarrett was inactive last week.

  • Start: WR Steve Smith, QB Jake Delhomme, RB DeShaun Foster
  • Consider: RB DeAngelo Williams, WR Drew Carter
  • Sit:WR Keary Colbert, WR Dwayne Jarrett, TE Jeff King
