The Carolina Panthers are not going to have quarterback Cam Newton this week due to a scary car crash from Tuesday. Fortunately, Cam is not dealing with major injuries, but quarterback Derek Anderson will take over against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 15: Kelvin Benjamin
Kelvin Benjamin will have a different quarterback under center. Should his fantasy owners still trot him out there in their lineups?

Interestingly, Anderson started the first game of the season against the Bucs, passing for 230 yards and two scores. A lot of that production went to receiver Kelvin Benjamin, who racked up six catches, 92 yards and one score in the win. The Panthers are at home this time and the Bucs defense is reeling a bit after being dominated by the Detroit Lions in Week 13, and are the 10th-easiest matchup for fantasy receivers.
Benjamin is coming off two bad games with just a combined 80 yards and one score, but he should be fine and will likely be the most targeted player on the Panthers this week.
Fantasy impact: Benjamin and Anderson have good chemistry already and the rookie receiver should be viewed as a top-15 play in all formats.
