Panthers Release Jordan Matthews

Thursday, May 8, 1:02 PM

The Carolina Panthers released tight end Jordan Matthews on Thursday, league sources tell The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye. The former wide receiver will now hit the open market after re-signing with the team in early January on a Reserve/Futures deal. The 32-year-old former second-round pick (42nd overall) by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2014 out of Vanderbilt ended up with just one target in four games played (one start) in his two seasons with Carolina the last two years. Since transitioning to a tight end, Matthews hasn't made an impact at the NFL level since leaving the Eagles with the San Francisco 49ers and Panthers. In his 10 NFL seasons, Matthews has recorded 274 catches on 423 targets for 3,288 yards and 22 touchdowns, with pretty much all of that production coming from 2014-18.

Demarcus Robinson Headed for Reduced Role Again in Week 7?

Saturday, October 18, 12:20 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has generated some fantasy buzz after Ricky Pearsall (knee) was ruled out. However, managers should exercise caution and avoid rushing to add him off waivers ahead of Week 7. The 31-year-old took on a big role with an 85 percent snap share and seven targets just two games ago, but his role dwindled when Jauan Jennings (ankle, rib, shoulder) returned last Sunday. With Jennings on track to play again this weekend, and Kendrick Bourne also expected to handle a significant role, Robinson's outlook is relatively bleak. He is third on the depth chart at wide receiver and should also lose targets to players like Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle. Managers in leagues with 14 teams or fewer can avoid Robinson this week.
