Carolina Panthers wide receiver Brandon LaFell came through for fantasy owners on Monday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Brandon LaFell scores a touchdown for fantasy owners on Monday Night Football
Brandon LaFell, not Steve Smith, was the most productive fantasy wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers on Monday night.
Jeremy Brevard-US PRESSWIRE
LaFell was targeted seven times by Cam Newton and caught three passes for 74 yards and a touchdown. LaFell led the team in receiving yards in the 30-22 win over Philadelphia.
Fantasy Impact: Cam Newton has clearly gained some trust in LaFell this season, as the young wide receiver now has more than 500 yards and four touchdowns on the season.
LaFell is far from a quality fantasy option, given the inconsistency of the Panthers’ passing attack and the fact that he plays second fiddle to Steve Smith. However, LaFell has some value as a spot starter in deep leagues.
