The Carolina Panthers have made a decision on which running back to start for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Panthers head coach Dave Canales has suggested he knows the answer but isn't going to tell us. He must be playing against Dowdle in fantasy this week and wants to play mind games with his opponent. Here's the thing, though: You simply can't sit Dowdle.

Should I start Tyrone Tracy Jr., Rico Dowdle, Bam Knight for Week 9? Fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks and recommendations for the 2025 NFL season.

Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle surpassed 200 yards from scrimmage in Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys for his second straight monster performance.

When Jayden Reed went down with an injury, it was Golden's chance to step into a huge role. Well, that role went to Tucker Kraft and Romeo Doubs. Golden is unplayable in fantasy at this point, and the matchup in Week 9 is not great either with the tough Carolina cornerbacks. - Griffin Missant
