In Week 15, the first round of the fantasy playoffs, the Panthers get a Cowboys defense that has been allowing fantasy production, especially against the run. Unfortunately, just as Jonathon Brooks was getting introduced into the Carolina offense, he re-tore his ACL. Chuba Hubbard will continue getting high volume in the backfield with only Mike Boone and Velus Jones to back him up. In a now-proficient offense, Hubbard is a must-start RB2.

Bryce Young faces a Cowboys defense that allows the 29^th-most fantasy points allowed to opposing QBs and 23^rd-most to WRs. Young has a relatively low ceiling as a fantasy play. Adam Thielen has been his go-to weapon in the last two, catching 17 of 21 targets for 201 yards and a TD over that stretch. The other pass game weapons have limited outcomes, with no one pass catcher catching more than five passes over the last two contests.
