Carolina Panthers vs. Washington Commanders DFS Start 'Em Sit 'Em| October 20, 2024

The Carolina Panthers travel to FedExField to take on the Commanders who are winners of four out of their last five. The Commanders are on top of the NFC East while the Panthers are at the bottom of the NFC South. Jayden Daniels has been red hot and will look to propel the Commanders to a 5-2 record, meanwhile, Andy Dalton will try to muster together a win and get the Panthers moving in the right direction.

Here are a few of the players that we are leaning on heavily in this game. These players are in a good spot to put together a solid performance and have a favorable matchup.

Chuba Hubbard ($6.5K DraftKings and $7.4K Fanduel)

Chuba Hubbard can not be stopped. Hubbard is literally carrying the Panthers’ offense on his back. Hubbard has moved his way into the RB5 spot and put up another great performance on Sunday putting up 92 rushing yards, catching 5 passes for 11 yards, and 15.3 fantasy points. The Commanders run defense ranks in the bottom third of the league so expect another great showing from Hubbard.

Terry McLaurin ($6.8K DraftKings and $7.2K Fanduel)

Scary Terry has been really good the past four weeks. McLaurin ranks as the WR12 and in the last four weeks is averaging 18.7 fantasy points. With Jayden Daniels at the helm and the lackluster Panthers defense on the other side of him, McLaurin should see targets all game. McLaurin has 4 touchdowns in the last four weeks and will look to find the endzone again this week, start McLaurin.

On the flip side of things, here are a few of the players we are sitting in this one.

Diontae Johnson ($6.6K DraftKings and $7.1K Fanduel)

Diontae Johnson has been up and down this season. Through six games, he has three games over 20 points and three games under 6 points. This Commanders’ defense is not like the Vikings or 49ers, but with Johnson dealing with injury this week it may be a week he scores under 10 again.

Brian Robinson Jr. ($6.4K DraftKings and $8K Fanduel)

Brian Robinson Jr. has been great so far through six weeks, the only problem has been his knee. Robinson missed last week against the Ravens with a knee injury and has been limited this week in practice. Robinson had limited participation Wednesday and did partake in practice Thursday. Austin Ekeler is the RB2 and put up 68 total yards and four catches last week. With Robinson coming off an injury and with a solid backup in Ekeler sit Robinson.

Jayden Daniels ($7.6K DraftKings and $9.1K Fanduel)

What can’t Jayden Daniels do? Daniels has been phenomenal so far this season and is currently ranked as the QB3. Daniels has been dismantling teams on the ground and in the air. The Panthers have arguably the worst defense in the NFL and Daniels should have a field day.

Panthers Defense ($2.4K DraftKings and $3K Fanduel)

Speaking of the Panthers’ Defense last week the Panthers D added another game of negative fantasy points scoring -4 against Atlanta allowing 38 points. With the loss of Derrick Brown and Shaq Thompson dealing with injury, this defense is depleted. With Jayden Daniels doing whatever he wants on the field do not pick up this defense.

Conclusion

The Commanders are at home and have looked great this season, and on the other hand, the Panthers have lost three straight. Jayden Daniels should have a great game against this defense, and his favorite target Terry McLaurin should also excel. Chuba Hubbard will look to keep the Panthers in the game and extend his streak of great games. This game should not be close, the Commanders take this one easily.
