Fantasy Impact
With Stewart sidelined with a hamstring injury, Cameron Artis-Payne will draw the start per reports. However, Fozzy Whittaker will likely garner touches in the tough matchup against the Vikings on Sunday. The Panthers could employ a by-committee approach making their running back's an avoidable commodity for fantasy football purposes in Week 3.
