Fantasy News, Chiefs at Panthers

The 3-1 Carolina Panthers take on the 1-3 Kansas City Chiefs this weekend at Carolina’s Bank of America Stadium, and speculation is already on the rise for the Panthers/Chiefs matchup. The NFL Oddsmakers have placed Carolina as favorites above the Chiefs, and statistics show that the Panthers are averaging 20 points per game while allowing only 17.5 on average, while the Chiefs are averaging 16.2 points per game while allowing 24.2. This imbalance could really show through on Sunday, as the triple threat of Delhomme, Smith and Muhammad go for the kill.

That said, fantasy football lovers should look to two players to take off this weekend. First up is Steve Smith. The Carolina wide receiver has 10 receptions for 166 yards and a touchdown in the only two games he’s played this season, and he should be able to gain plenty more yards on Sunday, as the Chiefs will likely start two rookie cornerbacks to hold Smith off. As for the Chiefs, fantasy participants should look to tight end Tony Gonzalez to up the ante, as Gonzalez will almost certainly break Shannon Sharpe’s record for receiving yards.
