Carolina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart is listed as probable on the Week 11 injury report. Stewart has an ankle injury, but it would be surprising if he missed Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Stewart missed three games with injury earlier in the season, but he's been active for the past four games and his injuries seem minor at this point.
Jonathan Stewart injury update: Panthers RB probable; should play but has limited fantasy value
Jonathan Stewart is probable for Sunday, but he’s not much of a fantasy option as he splits carries with DeAngelo Williams.

DeAngelo Williams returned two weeks ago and is now splitting carries with Stewart. Williams is also listed as probable with a foot injury and will likely play against the Falcons. Stewart has struggled in recent weeks, putting up just 46 yards against the New Orleans Saints in Week 9 and just 36 yards against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. Williams put up 20 and 31 yards in those games, respectively.
Fantasy Impact: As they have for years, Williams and Stewart are limiting each other’s fantasy value. Stewart will likely get more carries than Williams at this point, but neither is much beyond an outside flex option on a week-to-week basis. Fantasy owners should stay clear of this committee, though if they’re dead-set on starting one of them ... injuries shouldn’t be a factor.
