2012 Team Outlook: Carolina
PK Olindo Mare, --- - Bye Week Fill-in
FANTASY PROFILE / STATS & MORE
Olindo Mare made only 22-of-28 field goal attempts in his first season with Carolina last year and just isn't productive enough for fantasy owners to give him a shot this season. There are better options out there than Mare (who is now 38 years old).
Carolina - Deep-league Only
FANTASY PROFILE / STATS & MORE
The Carolina Panthers were one of the worst defenses in football last season. With standout defensive end Charles Johnson banged up and middle linebacker Jon Beason still recovering from an injury that caused him to miss all of last season, this unit is in trouble, though rookie LB Luke Kuechly might become an immediate IDP star. Head Coach Ron Rivera is a defensive specialist, but he has his work cut out for him if he's going to turn this unit around. Fantasy owners are better off staying away from this defense entirely this season.
