Regular readers of mine know that I never pass up a chance to point out that the Panthers had an historically bad 18.6% run defense DVOA last season. At first, it was a coping mechanism for a fan sad to see the team's Cam Newton era crumble one loss at a time. But when players such as Tevin Coleman, Aaron Jones, and Latavius Murray enjoyed career performances one Sunday after the other, the decline of the Panthers' run defense transitioned from merely sad to very relevant for fantasy players like myself who like to play weekly matchups.
