Devin Funchess will make his first career start if teammate Philly Brown (shoulder) is unable to play Sunday against the Redskins.

Funchess will make his first career start if teammate Philly Brown (shoulder) is unable to play Sunday against the Redskins.

Analysis:

Funchess' inclusion in the Panthers' starting lineup seems likely, since Brown is considered doubtful for Sunday's contest. Should that indeed transpire, Funchess' fantasy value would seemingly stand to benefit, although his inconsistent play and the Panthers' preference to run the ball would make him tough to rely on.
