keggerz Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I thought for sure that Carter got the start last week and did pretty well but I found this: Link Carolina Panthers receiver Steve Smith, nursing a hamstring injury, missed practice again Friday, and coach John Fox said simply, "No change on the injury report; it's exactly the same as it was Wednesday, Thursday and today." Smith's absence increases the likelihood that he will not play Sunday at Minnesota. Smith has already missed all four exhibitions and last week's opener against Atlanta. In his absence, Keyshawn Johnson and Keary Colbert are again expected to start at wide receiver, with Drew Carter also getting considerable playing time. i also guess that the writer did use one very important word(I underlined it) EXPECTED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H8tank Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Carter will get the plays whether he is listed as starter or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattsass Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Carter was targeted more than almost anybody in the league last week. Not sure if that was strictly based on match-ups, but Carter is the guy that replaces Smith in the lineup as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSULions Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I don't think it matter about who starts. Carter is the guy you want to pickup or start if you already own him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgaddis Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I don't think it matter about who starts. The Vikings will shut them down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeezNuts Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 If Smith's hammy's are going to be season long problem one of these two are going to be fantasy worthy. If Carter got the start last week and received 11 targets but only had 5 receptions... might that be the reason Colbert is getting the start this week... perhaps there were some dropped balls? Not sure but wouldn't that make Colbert worth a shot this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
