The Carolina Panthers are listing Ed Dickson as questionable vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 8.
Ed Dickson injury update: Panthers TE questionable vs. Bucs
The Panthers need Ed Dickson to step up more with Greg Olsen still on IR.

Dickson has been battling an ankle injury that caused him to miss practice on Wednesday. However, Dickson got in two full sessions to end the week, so he appears likely to play in Tampa Bay this Sunday.
The veteran tight end has become a viable fantasy weapon with Greg Olsen on injured reserve due to a foot injury. Olsen is expected to get the IR-return designation in the coming weeks, so Dickson may not be fantasy relevant for much longer.
Heck, Dickson has struggled to make much of an impact recently, as he has just seven catches and no scores over the last two games.
Fantasy Impact: Assuming Dickson is active, he will face a Buccaneers defense tied for the fourth-fewest catches allowed to tight ends this season. Put Dickson on the bench for Week 8.
