Fantasy Player Projections

Cam Newton

Newton passed for 306 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 52 more yards and another two touchdowns at Philadelphia in Week 12. The Chiefs have been sound defensively, but even if they limit Newton through the air, they'll have to contend with him on the ground.

DeAngelo Williams

Williams rushed 11 times for just 21 yards against the Eagles in Week 12, but he received a few more touches because Jonathan Stewart hurt his ankle. If Stewart can't go in Week 13, Williams should see more carries, making him an RB2 in most leagues.

Jonathan Stewart

Stewart had just eight rushes for 27 yards against the Eagles in Week 12 before leaving the game with an ankle injury. If he's unable to play in Week 13, DeAngelo Williams receives a boost in value.

Steve Smith

Smith caught four passes for 60 yards against the Eagles Monday night, and he now has 382 receiving yards and one touchdown in his past six games. The Panthers should be able to throw on the Chiefs, making Smith a good WR2 again.

Brandon LaFell

Against the Eagles on Monday night, LaFell scored for the third time in his past six games. The touchdown was the result of broken coverage, but LaFell was also able to total 74 yards on three catches.

Greg Olsen

Olsen caught four passes for 50 yards against the Eagles, and he now has 194 receiving yards and two touchdowns in his past three games. Those numbers make him a top-five tight end in that span. The Chiefs have been pretty strong against tight ends, so Olsen could slow this week.

Graham Gano

Gano, who took over for Justin Medlock as the Panthers' kicker, made his only field-goal attempt (23 yards), but he missed one of his four extra-point attempts. Leave him on fantasy waivers.

While the Panthers didn't get any interceptions against Philadelphia in Week 12, they did force three fumbles and allowed only 107 passing yards. They should have another nice game in Week 13 against another replacement quarterback.

Brady Quinn

Quinn couldn't do much against the Broncos in Week 12, throwing for 126 yards and one interception. Even so, the Chiefs lost by just one score to a much better team. Quinn should be back for Week 13, making the Panthers' defense one to target on the waiver wire.

Jamaal Charles

Charles carried the ball 23 times for 107 yards against the Broncos in Week 12. That was his fourth 100-yard game of the season, and he faces a below-average Panthers rushing defense in Week 13.

Peyton Hillis

Hillis rushed twice for just five yards in Week 12, and it's apparent that this is not a shared backfield as many expected this preseason. Hillis is not worth owning except by Jamaal Charles' owners as insurance.

Dwayne Bowe

Quarterback Brady Quinn threw to Bowe 12 times against Denver in Week 12, but Bowe could only make four catches for 41 yards. Bowe hasn't scored since Week 4, and he has just eight catches for 96 yards in his past three games.

Dexter McCluster

McCluster had to leave Sunday's game against the Broncos with a head/neck injury. Before getting hurt, he caught four passes for 21 yards, with two rushes for 23 yards. This offense just isn't good enough to get McCluster the amount of touches he needs to be productive in fantasy.

Tony Moeaki

Moeaki caught two passes for 40 yards against Denver, but he's showing better athleticism in recent weeks. A breakout game could happen any week now, but it's tough to start him if you have more consistent alternatives.

Ryan Succop

Succop connected on three field goals, including a 49-yarder, against the Broncos in Week 12. He's not going to get many extra-point chances (he has just four over his past seven games), which limits his fantasy value a bit.

The Chiefs had one interception and two sacks against the Broncos in Week 12. They held the Broncos to just 17 points, but they're just not consistent enough to trust week in and week out in fantasy play.
