The Carolina Panthers are listing Jonathan Stewart as questionable to play vs. the New Orleans Saints in Week 6. Stewart is still recovering from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for the previous three games.
The injury occurred in the Panthers’ Week 2 win over the San Francisco 49ers, which ironically is the only game Carolina has won this season. A 1-4 start has come in part due to the lack of a running back while Stewart has been out, so his return this Sunday would be a welcome sight for the defending NFC champions.
Stewart did practice fully on Thursday and Friday after a limited session on Wednesday. He should be good to go Sunday vs. a bad Saints defense.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Stewart as the 26th-best running back in Week 6. He now faces a Saints defense allowing the most fantasy points to running backs this season.
If Stewart is active this week, put him in your starting lineup.
