Panthers Lose Starting OT Jeff Otah

Carolina Panthers starting right tackle Jeff Otah has been placed in injured reserve, ending his season.

Otah, a 2nd round pick (19th overall) in the 2008 NFL Draft, will likely be replaced by Geoff Schwartz.

The Panthers’ offensive line has seen better times after also losing starting left tackle Jordan Gross to a broken leg earlier this season.

Fantasy owners may want to consider downgrading both DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart as they will be facing a stout Minnesota Viking run defense in Week 15.
