The Facts:
Stewart was placed on the physically unable to perform list on Tuesday after meeting with team doctors about his injured right ankle. He will miss the first six weeks. He could potentially only miss five games, however, as the Panthers have a bye in Week 4.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Stewart's absence means DeAngelo Williams and Kenjon Barner open the season as the top two backs. Carolina's running game has struggled during the preseason with Williams and Barner carrying the bulk of the load. The team has 166 yards on 57 carries for a 2.9 average (subscribers can hit our
