Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart rushed 12 times for 57 yards in Week 3 against New Orleans and he added one grab for four yards.

Fantasy Tip: Fantasy owners expected much more against a porous Saints defense but Stewart didn't contribute much to point totals. He'll look to rebound in Week 4 at New England, but treat him as more of a low-end RB2 in most fantasy leagues.

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (rest) did not practice Thursday, Sept. 21.

Fantasy Tip: Stewart will be good to go in a great matchup against the New Orleans Saints this week. While he does split playing time with Christian McCaffrey, Stewart deserves RB2 attention in both standard and PPR leagues.

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart rushed 15 times for 40 yards in Week 2 against the Bills and he didn't have a reception on just one target.

Fantasy Tip: Stewart had 15 touches to 12 for rookie Christian McCaffrey, so J-Stew remains the lead dog in Charlotte - but not by much. He should find plenty of open spaces in Week 3 against the visiting Saints, but treat him as a RB3 or flex play in most formats.

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart rushed 18 times for a game-high 65 yards while adding two catches for 17 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 at San Francisco.

Fantasy Tip: Stewart had a total of 20 touches while rookie Christian McCaffrey managed 18 touches in his return to the Bay Area, essentially an even split. As such, Stewart should be treated as more of a RB3 option in most standard fantasy leagues, and a low-end RB2 in PPR formats. The Panthers host the Bills in Week 2.

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart is expected to receive the short-yardage work, in the opinion of the Charlotte Observer's Scott Fowler.

Fantasy Tip: J-Stew had nine touchdowns last season, but injuries have dogged him throughout his career, and he's aging. He's an RB3 in fantasy, but he's devalued in PPR formats a bit.

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart's role will remain unchanged according to head coach Ron Rivera and running backs coach Jim Skipper.

Fantasy Tip: It's hard to imagine Stewart remaining the workhorse after Carolina drafted Christian McCaffrey No. 8 overall, but at the very least, it sounds like he will remain in a prominent role. His size could earn him the carries around the goal line, making him a sneaky RB3 candidate.

Updating previous reports, Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart is due up to $9.5 million over the next two seasons with an $8 million base value. His new deal freed up $2.075 million in cap space for 2017.

Fantasy Tip: The Panthers are expected to add an impact running back, and J-Stew has been frequently hobbled. Now 30, he's a low-end RB2 with minimal upside.

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart said he believes it would be a good thing if the Panthers selected a running back in the 2017 NFL draft because it would keep him fresher late in games.

Fantasy Tip: Stewart should be the starting running back for the Panthers next season but could lose some carries if the team adds a rookie running back. He has rushed for at least 800 yards in each of the last three season and has 15 touchdowns in the last two years. He should be considered a No. 3 running back in most leagues and possibly a low-end No. 2 back in deeper leagues.

Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart signed a contract extension through the 2018 season Friday, March 24. Stewart had a cap figure of $8.25 million, and the extension was expected to reduce that in 2017.

Fantasy Tip: The 30-year-old has been oft-injured, but he has been productive in the spurts he has been out there. His nine touchdowns last season were the most since 2009. However, there are rumblings the team is looking to draft a running back early in the 2017 NFL Draft, maybe Leonard Fournette, and that would reduce J-Stew's potential impact. He's a low-end RB2 for now, but that could dampen as the draft approaches.
