Panthers 2018 season opener countdown: 77 days to go

We are 77 days away from the beginning of the Carolina Panthers 2018 season. That means today we take a closer look at defensive end Zach Moore.Zach Moore http://www.carolinapanthersteamonline.com/mario-addison-jersey , Defensive endBioHeight: 6’6”Weight: 275 lbsAge: 27College: Concordia-St. PaulNFL Experience: 2 yearsMoore bounced around the league with several teams before arriving in Carolina last season. He spent the first 11 weeks of 2017 on the Panthers’ practice squad before being added to the active roster for the final five weeks. While he was on the 53-man roster, he was never activated on game day. Moore will have a tough task ahead of him to make the roster in 2018. The Panthers have a lot of bodies at the defensive end position on the 90-man roster Authentic Taylor Moton Jersey , and Moore will be competing with several young guys for a bottom of the depth chart spot. I think the Panthers will try to find a way to keep him on the practice squad again this year as a ‘break glass in case of emergency’ option, but I don’t see him being much more than that for the Panthers in 2018.Several Panthers stock rising up fantasy value boards The Panthers offense was fairly vanilla as expected against the Bills in their preseason opener http://www.carolinapanthersteamonline.com/wes-horton-jersey , but I did like what I saw. Cam Newton’s passing numbers were nothing spectacular; it was the skill players that impressed me. Newton has some speed to throw too in the form of wide receivers DJ Moore, Jarius Wright Authentic Trai Turner Jersey , Torrey Smith and of course running back Christian McCaffrey. That bodes well for Newton’s passing numbers in my book. Of course not everyone is convinced like I am.When drafting in non-CSR leagues you should be able to get Newton at good value in the 6th or even 7th round. Our defense will be good enough to give Newton plenty of chances to push the ball down the field. The added play makers plus tight end Greg Olsen will make the Panthers offense more like what it was in 2015 versus 2017.I’ve also moved D.J. Moore up my board a little more. Yahoo has Moore ranked at No. 109 which is around the 9th round. I’d grab him in the 8th as he should be there. I also liked the amount of touches McCaffrey got when he was in the game and how he ran the ball between the tackles. McCaffrey is currently the No. 12 ranked running back but I see him as top ten easily if he gets the touches. I have no reason to thin he won’t get them. Hence he’s a solid No. 2 running back in my book and could even be your No. 1.
