Read MoreHello, ladies and gentlemen! Since fantasy football is SUCH a big deal and big business these days, and I opened a FanDuel account and have been playing, I thought it wouldn't hurt to share with you the Commish's picks for those online one-week fantasy duels. Since you likely won't be competing against me - you would have to somehow find the same league I'm in on FanDuel - I'm happy to share with you my thoughts on the upcoming week.
Read MoreAfter two weeks, only three of twelve teams remain undefeated in the C3 Minter league. However, just like our Carolina Panthers, more time needs to pass until we realize which teams are legitimate contenders.
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?
Read MoreThe fantasy season got off to a bang for the Minter league this year, the average score among all teams was a respectable 109.4 points. There were not many close games this week, the closest being a comfortable 10 points. Minter seems to have no clear #1 as of right now, and it promises to be a competitive fight for the top over the course of the season. Now lets get down to the meat and potatoes, here are your team by team performances and victors.

Weekly Winner: Rochester Rusty Nails (High Octane Opener- league wide high score)
Fantasy Football is almost here! July turns the minds of Geeks like me to pondering about how Draft Night will unfold. Should you go RB first or take the player that has the widest gap between him and the next player at his position? These are questions that dominate my July days while floating in the pool.
Read MoreAnother week of fantasy football playoffs down the drain, and I finally lost. No thanks to Peyton Manning and his 2 fantasy points. Both of my running backs were injured this past week, so I had to start Doug "Waste of a Pick" Martin, and Chris "Disappearing Act" Johnson. They got me a combined total of 8 fantasy points. As the fantasy season continues it is harder to win games, because of all the injuries. Could you imagine if the league increased the length of the season? If you are dealing with injuries you need to pay attention to who is going to be the new starter, and cross your fingers that someone else wont pick them up on the waiver wire.

After eight weeks of playing Bipolar football the Carolina Panthers are still first in the NFC South. They remain in first ahead of the New Orleans Saints because of the tie against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Panthers are going to battle against the Saints this Thursday night and the winner of that game will be the leader in the NFC South for another week. Who on offense will show up for the Carolina Panthers in week nine?
My Week Nine Recommendations:
Must Start: Cam Newton, Kelvin Benjamin, Greg Olsen
Sit: Panthers Defense, DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart
Week 9 Breakout Player: Jerricho Cotchery
The New Orleans Saints are coming off of a big win against the Green Bay Packers. The Saints bulldozed over the Packers with 44 points. The Packers only scored 23 points, where they have been averaging 36.25 points over the past four games. The Saints are not known for their defense, but they only held Aaron Rodgers to one touchdown. Rodgers still had a big day through the air with 418 yards.
The Carolina Panthers are in line for a big day on offense against the Saints. Cam Newton is going to be as reliable as UPS is on the ground, and through the air. Kelvin Benjamin and Greg Olsen should both get a touchdown and see plenty of targets. Stay away from the running backs and defense.
What were my week eight fantasy football projections?

My Week Eight Review:
The last matchup against the Seattle Seahawks was an interesting one. Both teams were struggling over the past few weeks and were in need of a win. Unfortunately the Seahawks came out on top, but the Panthers defense only allowed 13 points. This was not a good game for fantasy football unless you started Kelvin Benjamin. Cam Newton had two turnovers and less than 200 total yards of offense. Jonathan Stewart had a decent game with 79 rushing yards on only 17 carries, and Greg Olsen was invisible.
Which rookie do you want on your fantasy team: Kelvin Benjamin or Brandin Cooks?

The offense for the second week in a row scored over 30 points and is beginning to look like a well-oiled machine. The defense is another story because they allowed the Bengals to score over 30 pointsWant your opinion heard? Apply Now
