Fantasy Impact:

Riverboat Ron couldn't keep his team afloat following the season-ending injury to Cam Newton, and Sunday's loss to Washington was the back-breaker. Rivera finishes with a 76-63-1 regular-season record in Carolina while leading the Panthers to Super Bowl 50, where they fell 24-10 to the Denver Broncos. There's plenty of offensive talent in place for whoever takes over, though fantasy fans shouldn't be surprised to see a new starting QB in place in 2020.
