Week 5 Could Be Tough Sledding For Devin Funchess
6 years agoCarolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess is establishing himself as a weekly starting option in fantasy lineups. He's been targeted 21 times in three games and hauled in 14 of those for 185 yards and a touchdown. His worst game came in Week 1 against a Cowboys defense that has been effective against the pass, and he could have a similarly tough time getting going against the Giants in Week 5. New York just got done blanketing Michael Thomas to the tune of four receptions for 47 yards, and held the entire Saints passing game in check for a full 60 minutes. With a solid rushing attack and quality defense of their own, the Panthers won't have to take to the air to compete with the Giants. Funchess may not see a ton of volume as a result.
