Panthers, Giants: starting RBs benefit from others' injuries

Good news (of sorts) in North Carolina and New Jersey: Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart and Giants RB Andre Brown both look like better-than-usual fantasy starts this week, as both stand to benefit from injuries elsewhere on their respective teams' depth charts. Stewart's co-runner, DeAngelo Williams, missed practice all week with a quad injury; he's officially questionable for the team's visit to Tampa Bay, but we don't think he'll play. And Brown's usual backup, Brandon Jacobs, who might otherwise have vultured several goal-line carries at Washington, has been ruled out for Sunday night with a knee injury.
