Carolina Panthers

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) is officially inactive for Week 18 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This news was widely expected after the Panthers listed him as doubtful heading into the weekend. The 28-year-old had appeared in Carolina's previous 16 games this season, converting 86 percent of his field goals. This week, he'll be replaced by Matthew Wright, who remains off the fantasy radar given the Panthers' ongoing offensive struggles.

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble caught one of three targets for six yards in a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. He will look to bounce back in the regular-season finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 18. The Bucs have struggled to cover tight ends this season as they are allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Tremble isn't a major piece of the Carolina offense but he could see an uptick in usage after the Panthers placed wide receiver Jonathan Mingo (foot) on injured reserve earlier this week. Treat Tremble as a low-end TE2 in Week 18.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen caught six passes for just 38 yards in a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. He will look to finish off the season on a high note in a home game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 18. The Bucs have been a plus matchup for wide receivers this season as they are allowing the eighth-most fantasy points per game to the position. Thielen is in play as a high-end WR3 in leagues with Week 18 championships and also as a decent flex option in DFS cash games.

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders gained just 10 yards on two carries in a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17. He will finish off a disappointing first season with the Panthers in a home game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 18. The Bucs have been excellent against the run this season as they are allowing the third-fewest fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Sanders has only been seeing a handful of carries per game of late and is not someone to consider for Week 18 lineups.

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard ran for 45 yards on 11 carries in a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. He will look to finish off the season on a high note in a home matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 18. The Buccaneers have been tough on running backs this season as they are allowing the third-fewest fantasy points per game. Hubbard should get one more shot as the lead back to prove he's the team's starting running back heading into next season, making him a volume-based RB2 worth a look in DFS tournaments this weekend.
