Carolina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart will start against the Green Bay Packers in Week 7. He's been out of the lineup since Week 3 due to a knee injury.
Jonathan Stewart will start, remains low-end fantasy asset
Jonathan Stewart will start for the Panthers in Week 7. We break down the fantasy implications.

Even before the injury, Stewart was a lost cause on offense. He averaged just 3.0 yards per carry on his 29 attempts, which was good for just 88 rushing yards and one score to go with seven receptions for 58 yards. He’s been back at practice this week and should be close to 100 percent.
Health aside, there is little to be excited about. The Panthers can't get any of their running backs going and quarterback Cam Newton was able to get over 100 yards rushing the ball, and he'll also get the goal-line work.
Fantasy impact: It’s not a bad matchup, but his body of work is just not a desirable fantasy asset. You can leave him on the wire unless you’re in dire straits for a back.
