Panthers will continue to use two-back approach

Oct 20, 2025

Dave Canales plans to continue with two back approach with Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle. Two players he says he can trust.

Fantasy Impact:

The duo were fairly close in snaps, Hubbard had 38 to Dowdle's 33, and in touches, Dowdle had 18 to Hubbard's 16, and that should remain similar at least for another week. While it's not ideal for fantasy owners of either back, with Bryce Young out this week and Andy Dalton filling in, both backs should have enough fantasy value for lineups - at least until there becomes some kind of separation.

Saints RB Kendre Miller tears his ACL

Sources: Saints RB Kendre Miller tore his ACL on Sunday and will miss the remainder of the season.

Related players: Alvin Kamara, Devin Neal

Fantasy Impact:

As the post went on to say, it's a tough blow for Miller, who was starting to carve out a role in the offense with 193 rushing yards and 1 TD on the year. Neal is likely next up behind Kamara, but Neal has just three carries on the season as a rookie this year. The Saints will most likely have to make a move for another running back. Miller was averaging over seven touches a game.

Panthers QB Bryce Young (high ankle sprain) to miss time

Bryce Young was not able to finish Sunday’s win for the Panthers and now he is unlikely to suit up for Week 8.

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, Young is expected to miss next Sunday’s game against the Bills with a high-ankle sprain.

Related players: Andy Dalton

Fantasy Impact:

Dalton will get the start against the Bills. Young has been playing better since the start of the season and has been supported by a very good running game as of late. It will be a tough game against the Bills but Dalton at least has some streaming value in deeper QB leagues. The story added while the return timetable for Young's injury is usually 2-to-4 weeks, it’s currently unclear how long Young will be out.

Dolphins say no changes 'at this time'

Big change seem inevitable for the 1-6 Miami Dolphins. No changes reportedly are coming today.

Ian Rapoport of NFL media reports that no changes are expected “at this time” from owner Stephen Ross. As explained on Sunday’s Football Night in America, Ross intended before the season began to give coach Mike McDaniel and G.M. Chris Grier the full year before making decisions about the future.

Fantasy Impact:

The story went on to say Sunday’s loss to the Browns becomes the low point in a lost season for the Dolphins. With Ross taking heavy flak from Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald and with a customer base potentially on the verge of revolt or (even worse) full-blown apathy, it’s going to be hard to justify doing nothing, the story added. With a Week 8 game at Atlanta followed by a short-week visit from the Ravens, it’s likely that no changes will be made until after the Thursday night contest against Baltimore.
