Gambling911.com has your Panthers-Bucs Daily Fantasy NFL picks along with the latest betting line set at Carolina -3. All Daily Fantasy NFL salaries found at Star Fantasy Leagues and subject to change.
What to Consider With the Panthers: The Carolina passing defense ranked fourth in DVOA since the start of last season, making James Winston ($5.1k) a non factor here in terms of DFS rosters. Likewise the Panthers do have a talented pass defense.
What to Consider With the Bucs: Tampa Bay’s pass defense has improved somewhat but that shouldn’t factor in here against a talented and confident Cam Newton, who we fully expect to make value. The Buccaneers run defense is decent. Where the Bucs are seriously lacking is against wide receivers. They rank near the bottom in the league against opposing WRs since last year.
Who to Play: Cam Newton ($7K) – He is a solid play here having scored well over 30 fantasy points the last time facing Tampa Bay. Not much has changed in the past two years (Cam did not face these division rivals at all last season).
Ted Ginn ($3.4K) is your best option at wide receiver, a position Tampa Bay has struggled against. Ginn has led all Panthers' wideouts in targets for the second straight week. He caught 4-of-6 targets for 93 yards in Week 3 against the Saints and could enjoy even better production against this Bucs squad. He is the second option in the passing game behind Greg Olsen ($5.4K).
