          The Carolina Panthers fired offensive coordinator Joe Brady on Sunday, during their bye week, and fantasy managers might wonder what that could mean for the Week 14 game against the defensively woeful Atlanta Falcons, if anything. Remember, the Panthers benched QB Cam Newton during the Week 12 blowout loss to the Miami Dolphins, as he completed only 5 of 21 passes and scored 6.18 PPR points, needing a rushing score to get there. He will start against the Falcons, as the Panthers remain in the wild-card hunt.
