Brandon Zylstra Fantasy

The Carolina Panthers placed wide receiver Brandon Zylstra (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Zylstra has not been a very big part of Carolina's offense through six weeks, catching all eight of his targets for 139 yards and a touchdown. He will miss at least the next three games after landing on Injured Reserve. The injury to Zylstra should open up more opportunities for both rookie wide receivers Terrace Marshall Jr. and Shi Smith. Smith, a sixth-rounder out of South Carolina, caught his first two NFL targets in the Week 6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings for 20 yards.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Brandon Zylstra posted two receptions for 63 yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to Dallas. Zylstra has been an inconsistent contributor for Carolina this season as he last posted a catch in Week 2 when he finished with three receptions for 44 yards and a score. The 28-year-old did well in Week 4 but the fact that his role is small and he doesn't play a factor on this offense each week makes the WR irrelevant in fantasy.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Brandon Zylstra finished with three receptions for 44 yards and a score on three targets in Sunday's win over New Orleans. The fourth-year player made his first receptions of the year on Sunday though he wasn't much of a factor last year with the Panthers as he finished with three receptions for 35 yards on four targets in 16 games played. Zylstra is not a huge part of this offense and this game was likely a random outburst given his past stats. As a result, this player should be well off the fantasy radar.
