The Panthers look very good so far this season and Delhomme is the early favorite to with the NFL?s Comeback Player of the Year Award. Carolina faces a tough Tampa Bay defense in Week 6. (SportsBuff.com)

Smith dropped two touchdown passes on Sunday. The Panthers? offense has been very efficient so far this season, and Smith is always a threat to stretch the field.

Losing Ruud would certainly hurt some IDP lineups. We'll keep an eye on further reports, but at this point you should plan on not having him available for at least Week 6. (SportsBuff.com)

We'll see how serious the injury is. Jeff Garcia was solid in relief of Griese and would seem to be in line to take his job back should Griese miss any time. (SportsBuff.com)

Williams' value will be limited by his timeshare with Jonathan Stewart, who usually gets the TD's but had none on Sunday. The TD's were Williams first of the season. (SportsBuff.com)

It seemed like Galloway was nearing a return at the beginning of the week, but we'll have to keep waiting. Galloway is worth stashing on your bench if you can afford the spot. (SportsBuff.com)

Dunn has showed no signs of slowing down in this, his second stint with Tampa Bay. One of the NFL?s most likable characters, Dunn still carries a fair amount of fantasy worth. Tampa Bay is in Denver this weekend. (SportsBuff.com)

Rumblings out of Tampa Bay say that head coach John Gruden is considering opening the quarterback position back up to a competition. Jeff Garcia and Luke McCown wait in the wings. (SportsBuff.com)

Hilliard, like Isaac Bruce, Bobby Engram and Amani Toomer, has been a consistent pass catcher in the NFL and it will be a sad day when all of these ?old pros? are no longer a fantasy option. (SportsBuff.com)

The Panthers have looked alot like a play-off caliber team in the early going and Smith will only get better as time passes. Look for Smith to post big numbers this week against KC. (SportsBuff.com)

Graham is a solid #2 fantasy starter. The Bucs are in Denver and the Bronco D has been less that stellar this season. Look for Graham to post solid fantasy numbers. (SportsBuff.com)

Although Brooks was active in making a tackle for loss, picking off a pass and forcing a fumble, he still finished with just three total tackles and two solos. He's not the fantasy contributor we've come to recognize. (SportsBuff.com)

It's about time the team handed him the ball 20 times. Of course, that was largely because the Bucs played almost the entire game with the lead. Then again, if you don't give Brian Griese so many chances to toss interceptions, maybe it would be easier to stay close or take a lead. (SportsBuff.com)

Expect his yardage to more often be in this range than within 100 yards of the 407 he put up in Chicago a week ago. He's no more than a matchup play when you're searching for a bye-week fill-in. (SportsBuff.com)

Reports this week said that he and QB Jake Delhomme appear to be on different pages. He appears unlikely to make much of a fantasy impact without an injury to Muhsin Muhammad or Steve Smith. (SportsBuff.com)

No worries about him losing work to Steve Smith. If anything, Smith's presence might make life a little easier for his two-time teammate. (SportsBuff.com)

This should be a typical day for one of the league's best receivers. (SportsBuff.com)

Pair a nice matchup against Atlanta with the presence of Steve Smith and it was easy to predict a worthwhile day from the Panthers quarterback. (SportsBuff.com)

The rookie who has scored three touchdowns over the past two weeks is a strong fantasy play at home against Atlanta. (SportsBuff.com)

It's tough to imagine what could be much worse than this. We'll see whether Bryant will be available for the game, but that's pretty unimportant right now. (SportsBuff.com)

One has to wonder if White will garner more playing time if he keeps this up. That would likely cut into the snaps that Gaines Adams plays, as both line up on the right side, or maybe even lead coaches to consider sliding Adams to left end. Of course, that's all speculation at this point. We'll see how things go. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

The one big play salvaged what would have been a worthless fantasy day. He doesn't have great matchups ahead, with the Packers and Broncos up next. Denver has allowed just one sack so far, and the Packers allowed only one before Sunday night against the Cowboys. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

His two pass breakups against the Bears nearly matched his season total of three in 2007. Ruud continues to perform like one of the leading IDP linebackers. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

He also failed to break up a pass for the second straight week despite the Bucs facing 34 pass attempts from the immortal Kyle Orton. That's a bit discouraging, particularly when you look at Barber's meager tackle numbers from the first two games. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

He continues to put up good fantasy numbers this season. Gamble is certainly worth owning once again, as he was early in his career. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

It'll take more than this one to get Peppers back on track, but the Falcons and Chiefs present solid matchups in the next two weeks. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

His practice participation seems to indicate he'll be in there on Sunday, and he has a solid matchup with the Bears. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Maybe that's the issue, because Harris is bound to play better if he has two of them. Let's be optimistic and assume that he'll acquire a second by Sunday. Start him unless you hear otherwise. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

The Panthers managed to go 2-0 without Smith, so fantasy owners might well be more excited for his return. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

This situation certainly lends credence to the rumors that Garcia and Gruden have issues behind the scenes. Otherwise, it would make no sense. Obviously, Garcia needs to get back on the field before we can pay any more attention to him. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Neither Griese nor Jeff Garcia makes for a strong fantasy candidate, but each could be worth a spot start once the byes begin. Griese doesn't look good this week at Chicago. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

The team is awaiting test results to determine his availability. Let's hope that Jon Gruden is a little more forthright with information than he was last week in the case of Derrick Brooks' health. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

In many cases, ranking among the league leaders in forced fumbles is largely fluky. That is certainly not the case with the safety who led the league in that category last season. He has one in each game this year. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Health is the only thing that stands between Gamble and regular IDP starter status. He has four pass breakups through the first two games. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Davis should be in for his best fantasy season now that he's finally playing the weak side. We'll see if Sunday was the start of that or an aberration. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

His consistent tackle numbers make Beason one of the league's best IDP options right now -- as long as your league counts tackles. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Look for Talib to be ready, though his status as a nonstarter makes him the same in fantasy leagues for the time being. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

I'll let you know right now that you should go ahead and sit him in your fantasy league. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

His nearly empty stat line despite working against San Diego's No. 2 left tackle is not a good sign after Peppers' awful 2007. Let's hope things change quickly this week against another team relying on a backup plan at tackle, or we could be in for another year of disappointment from the Carolina star. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

If Gamble can stay healthy, he could return to the statistical success of his first couple of years, when he was a good IDP defensive back. Defensive touchdowns are far too rare and fluky to be counted on, but the kind of return ability that Gamble possesses never hurts a player's value. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

It is at least worth noting, however, that Davis broke up a pass. If he can increase his tackle numbers on the weak side, he could be capable of enough big plays to be worthwhile. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

It'll take a few more performances like this before we should consider Diggs for our IDP lineups. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Some players just know how to knock the ball loose, and it looks like Harris' league-leading forced-fumble total might not have been a fluke last year. He's easily a top 10 IDP defensive back at this point. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

The pick did come on a pass where Drew Brees was hit as he threw, but IDP owners won't complain. Don't get excited about Buchanon, but he'll be OK as a spot starter as long as he's in the lineup. Don't start him next week, though, against the Falcons and their 13 Week 1 pass attempts. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)
