Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings. Head coach Ron Rivera said he expects Stewart to miss two to three weeks.

Fantasy Tip: Cameron Artis-Payne is expected to serve as the lead back, but Fozzy Whittaker and Mike Tolbert will be heavily involved as well. Even with the rash of injuries at the running back position across the league last week, none of the aforementioned players should be considered anything more than a RB3 this week.

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 21.

Fantasy Tip: Stewart is expected to miss at least one week because of the injury, so owners should avoid him in all leagues. Fozzy Whittaker and Cameron Artis-Payne likely will share snaps in Week 3 and can be flex options in most fantasy leagues.

Carolina Panthers RB Fozzy Whittaker, RB Cameron Artis-Payne and FB Mike Tolbert will split carries by committee with RB Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) out, according to offensive coordinator Mike Shula.

Fantasy Tip: Whittaker and Payne could see the lion's share if one of them is hot. Both are flex options in fantasy. Tolbert figures to see short-yardage carries and doesn't have much fantasy luster except in TD-only leagues.

Carolina Panthers RB Fozzy Whittaker was in on 49 offensive snaps in Week 2 in light of RB Jonathan Stewart's (hamstring) early exit. RB Cameron Artis-Payne did not receive any snaps.

Fantasy Tip: Whittaker will be the Panthers' go-to running back assuming Stewart is out for Week 3. Whittaker ran for 100 yards and caught three passes for 31 yards last week. He and the Panthers face stiff competition in the Minnesota Vikings, though. View Whittaker as a low-end RB2 to high-end RB3 with added value in PPR leagues if Stewart can't play.

Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) was scheduled for an MRI Monday, Sept. 19, to determine the severity of the hamstring injury he suffered in Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Fantasy Tip: As mentioned earlier, head coach Ron Rivera said he expects J-Stew to be sidelined at least a week or two, so look for Fozzy Whittaker and Mike Tolbert to carry the load in Stewart's absence. Cameron Artis-Payne should also be up after being inactive the first two games. Whittaker is your best bet as a fantasy replacement.

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) is expected to miss "at least a week or two" after suffering a hamstring injury in a Week 2 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, according to head coach Ron Rivera.

Fantasy Tip: Given his lengthy injury history and track record for recovery, owners can probably expect Stewart to miss at least two weeks. Fozzy Whittaker totaled 131 yards in relief Sunday, but Rivera was quick to talk up second-year running back Cameron Artis-Payne, who has been inactive the first two weeks. For Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings, expect the Panthers to go with a hot-hand approach with Whittaker getting the first shot to make an impression. In a difficult matchup, he's a low-floor and unexciting flex option.

Carolina Panthers RB Cameron Artis-Payne has been a healthy scratch due to special teams, but if RB Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) misses time, Artis-Payne could see a big role on offense, according to head coach Ron Rivera.

Fantasy Tip: CAP is one to target on waivers this week until more is known about J-Stew.

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury during the team's Week 2 game and is considered questionable to return.

Fantasy Tip: Owners will need to keep an eye on the situation to see if Stewart will miss extended time because of the injury. Cameron-Artis Payne and Fozzy Whittaker will see more playing time while Stewart is out and could be flex options depending on their touches.
