Fantasy Impact: The Panthers have struggled against the pass early in the season, most recently allowing Atlanta to throw for 369 yards. Seattle isn't as good as Atlanta passing the ball but Gamble's absence would still be a problem. Beason is probably Carolina's best defender and would help slow down Marshawn Lynch. Fantasy owners in IDP leagues should have a backup plan if they normally use Beason. The Panthers as a D/ST unit are not a viable fantasy option this week.
