Jonathan Stewart

[Canadianfan 76]

I've been waiting for this guy to become the lead back since he was drafted and finally we're going to have a chance to see what he can do. What do you expect from him going forward? Also, since its pretty much a given that DeAngelo will be gone next year, where would you rank Stewart in a re-draft? IMO, I see no reason why he wouldn't be an automatic top 10 and possibly a top 5. Carolina homers what do you think?

[BobSanders_33 127]

I see plenty of reasons why he won't be a top 10 back.

 

1). Has suffered through ankle/foot injuries his entire career.

2). Offense is not set up for running

3). QB steals TDs on the goal line.

4). D can't stop keeping people from scoring.

Didn't they just change into a power running style offense?

[lesjroza 70]

I think that continued hope is warranted for next year, possibly with a new GM, head coach, offensive coordinater, and a rebuilt Oline. It is certainly OK to be hopeful for the rest of this year too but don't forget that he was the featured RB these last 2 weeks.

 

10 rushes for 35 3 rec for 11

 

17 rushes for 42 4 rec for 38 no TDs either week

 

His schedule gets easier, but as is pointed out above he has to deal with Cam at the goalline and I have a feeling Tolbert is option #2 at the GL.

 

There aren't alot of stud RBs though so he might be underrated relative to the quagmire of other guys at RB for the rest of this year but don't let yourself get too hyped.

 

Another thing is that he has chronic lower leg issues which have not been tested as a true feature RB. We have no idea how he will hold up as "the man".

He's been the lead back for 2 weeks now. How does it look?

It looked good against 2 strong defenses. Panthers we're in both games and should have won the second. Schedule gets easier.

Ah ok. I thought this website was about fantasy football.

Not saying the situations are the same but regarding #3 Alf is having himself a monster season and McCoy has done so as well with Vick stealing tds.

 

For whatever a mobile QB 'steals' they often make up for in running lanes.

 

Now if Carolina and Cam can just get their head out of their ass.

[westlak 1]

Shoulda kept him. I was just trying to make myself feel better cuz I traded him this morning. lol.

[gpann101 32]

CAR needs to open up the passing game which will help the ground game. It worked last year.

[tanatastic 2,062]

Iv had this bum on the bench all year, glad to see he has some value now but I'm not holding my breath. Currently starting fitz over him at flex.

[Matt Mueller 148]

Figures Dwill gets a TD.

 

Have we all been fooled?

 

Give us something in the 2nd half.

[Busted by the Feds 9]

I should've started LeShoure at my flex now, not Stewart . Ah, well .

[p00h 85]

vultured! They have committed to the run more than in the past, but they're still rotating guys in and out, and Cam is still a mega vulture. JStew is not worth crap. It's still business as usual where either of the 2 backs can be productive any given week, but you'll pull your own hair out trying to figure out which one which week...

[Busted by the Feds 9]

That it. Not believing what the Carolina coaches say anymore . I'm sitting Stewart until I see that he can go over a 100 yards rushing and can get a TD . No matter how many press cons they say he's the featured back now, they're lying .

[Skinny_Bastard 159]

The running backs just aren't given enough carries PERIOD.

Even with a victory this past weekend, Dwill, Stewart and Tobert got a combine 19 carries.

 

Cam will run on average 5-8 times a game.

If i have to take a guess, the RB for Panthers are given a combine 16 carries between them a game. There simply aren't enough crumbs to feed the cat.

I almost drank the Kool Aid and tried to trade for Stewart last week. Glad I didn't. More of the same from that clown show, despite whatever the coach says. Stewart is nothing but the lead RB in a 4-back (including Newton) committee on a weak offensive team.

And this could look bad after next week. Things change quick. Too quick for me to keep up with.

[Skinny_Bastard 159]

Rivera might think he's auditioning for his job.

Who is he kidding. He's as good as gone.

I moved Dwyer for Stewart to the Mendenhall owner, just to obtain another back. My fantasy season is over.

You had me at "about to break".

Once again I have fallen in the Jonathan Stewart trap. Carolina RB's are useless in fantasy football and always will be. It's very unfortunate because J-Stew is a hell of a runner, but his career will rot on that team. Very sad.

[TennisMenace 156]

10 touches and one pass is very very disturbing.

 

I'm not sure why I drafted this guy? I knew not to trust this time share.

Both those dudes knew the deal, they took the money. No need for sadness. In this violen sport, playing the position they play, gotta take the $$$. I'm sure they're both sleeping just fine at night.

Stewart is a talented RB--and so is Williams for that matter--but the offense is built around Newton. I don't picture Stewart ever being a workhorse for CAR. I also think we'll be seeing more of Williams, since I believe the real reason the Panthers were sitting him so much was because they didn't want an injury to damage his trade value.

Stewart even said he was fine in a time share. He knows what happens to rbs that are bell cows their entire careers. He is rich and takes half the punishment that guys like peterson and turner take.

[Matt Mueller 148]

Figures he scores his first rushing td against one of the league's toughest run Ds while on my bench.

[Busted by the Feds 9]

Was the TD just a fluke ? I still need to see him get 100 yds. rushing and a TD before it's safe to start him every week . Still too much competition for the ball in CAR .

I am a Stewart owner in a dyansty league and I know he has top 5 running back talent but I am totally disappointed with his production since he has been named 'the feature back'.

I dont think its him though thats the problem. He hasn't lost a step or all of a sudden sucked. It's the system. The run game was on point with John Fox but sucks since he has left.

I wish Stewart was the one on the trade block or getting cut and not Williams. Stewart needs wither a in system that is run first or he needs a trade I just dont see him fullfilling his top 5 back talent with the Panthers. Maybe top 20 in that system but not top 5.

[seh2000 5]

is anybody going to give him a start this week Monday night against Philadelphia... maybe a flex?

[pee-diddy 27]

I'm wondering the same thing? Stewart usually has one huge game or two each season. Maybe this will be it

[MDC 8,066]

I am an Eagles fan and picked up Stewart just to play him as a flex on MNF. Philly's D has been atrocious over the past month or so. I fully expect them to lose and for J Stew to put up a very good game especially in PPR formats.

Thanks for the input. Starting him out of necessity, but feel a bit better about it now.

 

 

15 carries and 3-4 receptions are not out of line. Should make for a decent game if you don't have strong RBs

[seh2000 5]

Interesting. I am on the fence for Stewart or anquan boldin as my flex. all the reports are flacco is brutal on road...which we all know that means big game!!!

I think he's cracked 15 touches ONCE this year...

 

HTH

I have my choice here - JStew, BBrown, ABrown, or Sproles.

 

All 4 have issues. But, I'm 4-7, so does it really matter at this point? I'm leaning toward BBrown, but I have two days to ponder it.
