"Because fans make football more than a kids' game"
C3 Carolina Panthers newsfeed brings the latest Panthers news and opinions from the fan perspective.
The C3FF Mega-League is around the corner and more importantly, so is the unveiling of the "new look Carolina Panthers" -- especially on offense -- which is exactly why those who want to dominate their FFLs of ANY sort need to look for VALUE in Carolina's players' picks...especially in 2017.
Read MoreWith but a single week left in the C3FF Challenge, in Minter League, the East has been won by Bortlemilk Biscuts (10-2), who has a 2-game lead on Panther Storm. In the West (8-4). The West has team Make America Great aGinn at 8-4 with a 1-game lead over Summertime, and the livin's Exek at 7-5. If Panther Storm wins this week, they lock-in to a Wild Card spot at minimum, so the pressure is on! However, they face the league's worst team, team Truesdale, at 2-10.
Read MoreNo undefeated fantasy teams remain in the Minter league of the #C3FF Challenge here in our third season, and I have to say it seems to be more competitive each year.
I've noticed ...PantherStorm is very, very active on the waiver wire, which means an actively managed team. Despite suffering their first loss of the season, they remain in first place in the East division and are a good example of how to be involved in a fantasy football franchise that stays competitive every week and has a chance to win it all.

Week One has come and gone, along with several veterans' seasons, as always does happen in the first week of play. The biggest-name injury is likely WR Keenan Allen of the San Diego Chargers...and btw, thank you, BortleMilk Biscuits, for declining my extremely fair trade offer before week one of me sending him Latavius Murray for Allen!! ;)
First off, my APOLOGIES for the scoring error! League Muhammed was actually a simple matter where passing yards was erroneously set to 10 yards passing per point whereas the rules going in were always 25 yards passing per point. The good news is that it affects every team's QBs equally. The bad/good news is that one former winner now lost. Last game in the left column in the screenshot of League Muhammed, below, after corrections were made. It also changed the overall 48-team superleague's high scorer.
Secondly, KUDOS to team Uplay2win ThaGame, who is MOI....yep, Yours Truly had the highest Week One fantasy point total this week after all, with 162 FP. I was the only team to crack 160 this week. I had to say I wondered why Matt Stafford outscored Drew Brees, so I checked into the individual scoring and quickly saw the reason for it.
Below, you'll see screenshots for the league scoreboards for each of the four leagues:
UPlay2win ThaGame topped scoring this week at 162 FP
Hog Mollie Heroes topped scoring this week at 159.5 FP
Carruth Carruth Is On Fire topped scoring this week at 154 FP
Mike after dinner minter led scoring this week at 156.5
As you can see, I had strength everywhere -- even from the bench! Had I simply started Willie Snead instead of Michael Crabtree, I'd have had 175.5, but as it is I'm already starting two pairs of guys from the same team....Hopkins/Miller and Murray/Crabtree. I didn't want to add Brees/Snead, but it looks like I'll have to put Snead in that WR2 category, depending upon match-ups.
Brees led with 37 FP, then I had help from a ball-hawking TD-scoring Minnesota Vikings D/ST with 25 FP. All my non-kickers had very solid weeks except Brees, who had a great week.
Look out, #C3FF, I was paying attention to the fantasy draft this year!

The third annual C3FF fantasy draft completed this past Sunday...four different 12-team half-PPR leagues. Of each 12-team league, the top three advance in our playoffs until only one remains standing. Sunday's draft just lit the match.
Read MoreAnyone who has played fantasy football knows that research and projections go hand in hand preparing for the single event that shapes your teams' fortunes: The Fantasy Draft.
Each year, players get peeled off the board according to whatever formula a given fantasy GM thinks is best and/or just tries to do some mock drafts before the real one to get a "feel" for where players might get drafted in their league and plan accordingly.

Read MoreYet another week gone. Hard to believe it has been over half a season now, but with the Panthers at 9-0, we have all been watching with higher hopes each week and don't want to be let down.
Read MoreWeek 9 of the Muhammed League saw team Atlanta Riot kick up the scoring, posting an incredible 153.5 FP last week! Amazing how it works isn't it? Lots of high-scoring players. Well that's you one wins, hello! Antonio Brown was targeted something like 28 times, and when that happens, SOME of it will connect. With Brown, all he did was have 284 receiving yards, posting almost 40 FP yeah nothing much....
Read MoreWell, well, well....for the second time in three weeks, yours truly had the highest FP total, team Double-Cam Offense, of week seven of the Muhammed League in the #C3FF fantasy challenge with a whopping 162.5 FP!
Read MoreAnother C3FF week is in the books, and from the boxscores, it appears that Johnny Manziel's Drinking Buddy sobered up enough to field quite a good fantasy lineup for the week with 145 FP scored! Nice!
Read MoreEvery week is a new roller coaster ride in the world of fantasy football, and this past week was no exception. After hearing the shots fired for not having a great fantasy season, team Double-Cam Offense - that's right, folks, MY team - led league Muhammed in FP as I put up 148.5 (!!)
Read MoreWeek 4 is now history, putting the NFL at the quarter-done mark. Your Carolina Panthers are 4-0, but in Fantasy Football, it's all about the players, period. Agents of F.I.E.L.D. put up 127 FP to lead the league. Scores overall were down, and the Commish here got his first win of the season!
Read More...the latest from the C3FF Muhammed League!
Read MoreYes, folks, week two in the C3FF league had a surprise - a rare "tie" between team Dominators and Team Fabulosa, each scoring 120.5 FP last week. Wow! Talk about life reflecting art! Recall the Panthers were 7-8-1 last season. A good omen?
