Fantasy Football: Matchups to avoid and exploit in Week 6

MATCHUPS TO EXPLOIT

Panthers (vs. Eagles)

Cam Newton and Carson Wentz are two of the NFL’s hotter passers, but it’s Carolina, with ascending wideouts Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess, that's built to outlast the Eagles’ susceptible secondary. Newton last week logged over 300 passing yards for the second consecutive game — a first since Weeks 1 and 2 of his rookie season — adding three touchdowns for a second straight outing. Although we don’t expect Ed Dickson to channel Greg Olsen again, and Jonathan Stewart and Christian McCaffrey get the NFL’s No. 2 run ‘D,’ it’s impossible to ignore what Carolina’s two power forwards are doing through the air.
