To help you prepare your fantasy football lineup each week during the 2013 NFL season,, we've got game-by-game player projections courtesy of numberFire.
Seattle Seahawks
The Russell Wilson Experience kicks off season No. 2, with Seahawks fans particularly excited. He lost one of his potential weapons when Percy Harvin went down with an injury, but he retains much of what he had last season. Most importantly, he gets another season of Marshawn Lynch. The Seahawks added more depth with Christine Michael, but Lynch remains the bell cow back in the Pacific Northwest.
Carolina Panthers
The Panthers stumbled to a 7-9 season as things just did not go right for them last season. Cam Newton remains a top fantasy option, but there was a regression in season two. Can he bounce back in season three? The Panthers added Domenik Hixon to the mix, but other than that, we're left scratching our heads about the Panthers. What can we expect from Newton week-in and week-out?
