Player Spotlight: Jonathan Stewart (1 Viewer)

Jason Wood

Zoo York
2009 Player Spotlight Series

One of Footballguys best assets is our message board community. The Shark Pool is, in our view, the best place on the internet to discuss, debate and analyze all things fantasy football. In what's become an annual tradition, the Player Spotlight series is a key part of the preseason efforts. As many of you know, we consider the Player Spotlight threads the permanent record for analyzing the fantasy prospects of the player in question. Last year, we published more than 120 offensive spotlights covering the vast majority of expected skill position starters. This year will be no different.

Each week we will post a list of players to be discussed. Those threads will remain open for the entire preseason, and should be a central point to discussion expectations for the player in question. Importantly, analysis done in the first week of posting will be part of the permanent record in two ways. 1) At the end of the week, we will tally the projections into a consensus. 2) We will select a number of pull quotes from forum contributors who make a compelling statement or observation. Both the projections and pull quotes will be part of a published article on the main website.

Thread Topic: Jonathan Stewart, RB, Carolina Panthers

Player Page Link: Jonathan Stewart Player Page

Each article will include:

Same role as he had in 2008 and DeAngelo Williams had while DeShaun Foster was around before last season. Fox loves his vets.

 
With Stewart the first thing (After Delangelo Williams) is the absurd amount of rushing the Carolina Panthers did last season. The next thing is the most comparable year they had was 2003 - when they had Stephen Davis and Deshaun Foster (who was highly thought of at that time.) The next year Davis got injured and everything went to hell so sadly we don't have a comparable follow up year.

So we're into new ground. What is relatively safe to assume is that 500+ rushes isn't happening again. Assuming a continuing of the 60/40 split they had last year ( of about 99% of the teams rushing attempts) and a more modest 475 rush attempts ( of which approximentaly 410 will go to Williams/Stewart) (The Panthers are likely to be at the top at rush attempts due to the fact that they have a runbased coach, a team with few recieving options and a dynamic running duo who can make big plays) that puts him at 164 carries.

Continuing a 4.5 YPC is reasonable overall. The issue is TDs. Given that in the last 5 years the Panthers typically have not broken 10 rush TDs let alone 20 it is not safe to assume 29 will be reasonable, or even close to it. If we assume a much more platable 18-19 TDs we have to assume a split on the 2 of them again.

So with all this considered

164-738-9TD 10-59-0

This is a lower projection for Stewart as I don't think he gets a larger portion of a smaller pie this year.

Upside

- Williams gets hurt

- Insane rushing attempts continue

- Becomes more of a 50/50 split

Downside

- Gets injured again

- Williams continues to dominate

- Carolina gives more attempts to #3 backs

 
Gonna look at history here:

High School: Broke his ankle, missed time

Freshman year of College: Injured, had to miss a couple of games

Sophomore year of College: More ankle injuries, had to miss time

Junior year of College: Toe Injury, misses time and has to have surgery after the season

Rookie season in the NFL: Head Injury, Toe and Heel injuries slow him down

Current: Achilles injury keeps him out of all off season camps

It's such a shame to see a guy as talented as Stewart is, constantly being nagged by injuries. You can't deny his injury history and I am sure Fox wont either. I believe Fox will once again lean more on DW and actually cut back on Stewarts carries this season because of the lack of confidence in his durability.

Rushing Attempts: 130

Yards: 598

TD's: 7

 
Don't see any reason the 457 carries Stew and DeAngelo got last year will decrease. Think Carolina has a good shot to lead the league in rushing. They were 6th or 7th last year. Project Stew for around 200 carries, 1000 total yards and 10 TDs.

I looked it up and Stewy did not miss a game his Junior year he rushed for over 1700 yards at 6.2 with 13 total TD's and he did that with the toe injury.......he also missed no time as a rookie
 
I think DeAngelo Williams will continue to be the dominating force at RB for Carolina, but Stewart is no slouch either. FWIW, both RBs were #1 and #2 in YPC average on rushes on the opponent side of the 50-yard line in 2008 (minimum 100 carries).

* 5.07 DeAngelo Williams, CAR

* 4.33 Jonathan Stewart, CAR

* 4.30 Clinton Portis, WAS

* 4.01 Brandon Jacobs, NYG

* 3.92 Marshawn Lynch, BUF

Both Williams and Stewart will have plenty of scoring opportunities. I think 6-8 TDs is a lock for Stewart if he stays healthy, but 1000 yards may be somewhat of a stretch. I think Fox will lean towards Williams more often between the 20's and therefore the yardage won't be that great for Stewart.

185 carries, 860 yards, 7 TDs, 15 rec, 115 yards, 1 TD

You are aware that you can play in every game and miss time, right? I know the game that sticks out in my mind was against the Packers. As he was going in for a touchdown he pulled his hammy, fumbled the ball and was done for the day.

He came back the next weeks and went for 115/2....NFL RB's get dinged up and miss time...but when I player comes back and is ready the next week or like Stewy did in college play through and injury an entire season that player is not one I worry about......but if you do OK

Simply pointing out that you were incorrect in that he did miss time. Carry on.

Jonathan Stewart's situation reminds me of Larry Johnson circa 2004 and 2005. He is a 1st round draft pick (#13 overall) backing up an elite running back on a run-first playoff-caliber team.

In his first year he ran for over 800 yards and 10 TDs. In 2009 that is a floor for his production level, assuming DeAngelo Williams plays all 16 games. If Williams misses a few games, Stewart's yardage has the potential to explode like Larry Johnson. On paper, Carolina could have a challenging *fantasy playoff* schedule with games @ Patriots, home vs. Vikings, and @ Giants. They will be playing playoff teams in must-win games to secure their own playoff birth. They will likely rely on the running attack, and if Stewart is Carolina's #1 RB at that point in the season, then Stewart can carry your team to a fantasy title like Larry Johnson of 2005.

In fantasy terms, Stewart is a great RB3 or RB2 that you can land in round 5. If you *must have* Stewart on your team, Round 4 will be the time to pounce. Of course monitor the ADP situation as your draft day creeps up. Drafting Stewart (a backup RB) means foregoing a WR2, elite TE, mid-tier QB1. If you're the kind of owner who has the goal of owning three of the top 10 fantasy RBs, drafting Stewart will appeal to you. If you want a balanced, dominating lineup with 2 stud WRs (RB-WR-RB-WR), Stewart's price will likely be too high for your draft strategy.

For keeper leagues with some redraft elements, if Stewart is available in your redraft he is definitely a guy to target, who can very easily become a top 10 ranked RB next year.

In 2008 Stewart was stuffed for no gain on 1 in 8 carries. That 12.5% percent of carries for no gain was 10th worst in the league. Another year in the NFL should give him better decision making at the point of attack, so a slight increase in his yards per carry is likely.

190 carries 931 yards (4.9 YPC)

18 receptions for 117 yards

12 TDs

176.8 fantasy points ... with a ceiling much higher in the top 10

 
No reason to think that last year's distribution of opportunities will change or that performance will change, and if anything, he should get more. I could see them using Stewart on third down more and catching a few more as he should improve as a receiver after a year of being in the NFL.

184 carries, 4.7 ypc, 864 yards, 10 TDs; 20 receptions, 7 ypc, 140 yards, 0 Tds.

Other than a significantly harder running schedule and the fact that few teams rush for nearly 30 tds a year?

I don't put alot of faith in predictions about difficulty of schedule. Too many changes in personnel and coaching make this almost impossible to predict. Stewart and Williams are both superior backs on a team that likes to run--that's why they had 30 rushing TDs.
 
Death, taxes, and the Panthers dropping below .500 after an 11/12 win season.

Not very scientific, but you can always count on a 12-4 Panther team to regress. It's what they do.

That, and instead of playing, arguably, the 2 worst divisions in football (AFC West, NFC North) like they did in '08, they will play 2 of the best this season (NFC East, AFC East).

Since I assume the Panthers will win significantly fewer games this season, I can't expect the running game to come close to what they did last season. I assume Williams and Stewart will both disappoint, for the price it'll cost to get them.

 
Stewart spends a lot of time nicked up, so even when he is ready, he isn't always going to be 100%. He already has had issues this offseason.

For whatever reason, despite DeAngelo excelling and despite John Fox being faithful with his veterans and despite Stewie being nicked it, it seems that everyone assumes Stewie is going to take over and DeAngelo Williams will ride the pine.

I don't get it

I also dont' get why people think the Panthers would run substantially less, as if 504 carries is excessive. That's 6th from last season. The Ravens had 86 more carries, the Falcons had over 50 more carries. No one seems to think the titans will run less, yet they also had more carries, as did the New England Patriots.

it wasn't like last year was an anomaly with carries anyway, as Carolina would've ranked 5th in carries in 2007 and 2006, 8th in 2005 and 7th in 2004.

Anyway, back to Jonathan Stewart:

Stewie - 150/675/8, 17 catches, 109 yards, 1 TD

I think he'll be nicked up a bit more, but he'll see a bit more time on 3rd down so he'll grab a few more passes.

Try to ignore my homerism, but if the Panthers running game is good (people aren't expecting anything different) they'll be in a lot of games. I agree that 11-12 wins will be difficult, but the true test of how their season will go is dependent on their defense against stronger foes than last year.

I agree about the defense.My assumption that the Panthers are in store for a 7-9 season really has no legitimate basis and going off what's happened in the previous seasons is really a lazy way for me to forecast a team.Although, that schedule is insane and much more difficult than last season's.I like the Panthers and like to see them succeed. Their regressions in the past have been frustrating.I hope this time is different. Right or wrong, I just can't shake the feeling that it won't be.

You don't have to put faith in figuring SOS you just need to put your faith in the law of averages. The Chiefs had a run last year of the Falcons, Chiefs, Bucs, Saints, Cardinals, Raiders, Lions, Falcons, Packers, Bucs, Broncos. Odds are their schedule in 2009 will be harder simply because their Schedule was significantly easier than expected this year (and not just because of their division). an Average ood schedule would be harder for them. As for 30 TD- The Titans loved to run last year and had 2 good backs and had 24 TDs, The Falcons loved to run last year and had 2 good backs- and had 23 TDs. In 2007 the Vikings lead the league with 22 rushing TDs- Colts and Chargers had 19, in 2006 SD had 32 and Jacksonville was second with 23 (two good backs, love to run), 2005 Seattle had 29 and KC had 26. A total of 4 teams since 1999 have had 30+ Rushing TDs (the other two were KC teams). Simple having a couple of quality backs and the desire to run is insufficient to rack up 30 TDs, it takes a lot of things coming together (like KC putting together arguably the best run blocking line of all time) to put up those seasons.
 
I am having difficulty ranking Jonathan Stewart above his current ADP of RB26 and 55 overall. He is locked firmly in a RBBC plan, where although extremely talented, he received only 38.5% of the carries in 08. That same rushing game provided 28 TDs, of which Stewart accounted for ten. I will be very surprised if either Stewart or D. Williams scores as many TDs this season. I also think that it is very likely that the Panthers will increase their passing attempts from only 414 a year ago. In 06, they had 538 pass attempts and they followed that up with 535 in 07. A decrease of over 120 or 7.5 per game shouts out a low point that should increase this season.

The Panthers also added another RB, so there is it possible that the 18 carries by other RBs than D. Williams and Stewart could be increased a little.

Still high value dyansty player, but underperformance in redraft leagues.

Jonathan Stewart 165 carries 760 yards 4.6 ypc 20 targets 14 catches 84 yards 6.0 ypc and 8 total TDs

 
So this guy still hasnt been drafted in round 5 of an 16 team idp dynasty im in. He's falling like a brick atleast in my drafts. Are his injury concerns really that big of a deal. He was nicked up, but he was pretty much available for most of the season. Im starting to wonder if he's worth investing in. His talent is fantastic, but he seems to be going the way of Caddilac Williams. Any new insight?

step off the edge of the cliff dude. He's a second year player coming off a very succesful rookie campaign. He is the future of the organization.
 
As far as dynasty..... Stew is a 22 year old back behind a 26 year old back with 2 years left on his rookie deal. Stew averaged 4.5 yards a carry, had 184 carries for 836 yards and 10 TD's. Whats not to like about this guy? Deangelo wont be around for long and if Deangelo chases big money and leaves after his rookie deal Stewart will be 24 and ready to be a top 5 back. See MJD.

Well, my WR's are weak...but we have a high scoring IDP format and my LB's are sick. I've got a solid team all the way around and with a couple of good breaks, I have a real shot at winning it all this year along with some strength for future years.I can PM you more if you want.... :)
 
It's looking like Stewart's hamstring injury could hamper him for awhile this season. According to CBS's rapid reports, Stewart missed another full day of practice today (after practicing yesterday).

Stewart has an ankle injury.
Well an achilles tendon injury
He hurt his ankle yesterday at practice.
They listed him as missing practice today because of his achilles. His ankle, achilles etc etc. I doubt the guy will ever be able to stay healthy. Good for the guys that get DW at the bottom of the first.

I'm not making it up. He has had an achilles problem all summer. His "newest" injury is on his ankle which happened yesterday. Go to their website and their twitter site and you will see.

I am not saying you are wrong, I know he hurt his ankle on Tuesday. But the last thing I read was that he missed practice this afternoon because of his achilles.

Carolina's site has (ankle) beside Stewart's name in numerous places for missing practice today. I'm sure his achilles is still lingering as well. I'm glad Carolina has Goodson as a #3 RB now, although Stewart will probably be fine once the season starts. It's good to have three backs, especially on a team that loves to run the ball.
 
I see Stewart as a strong backup to D. Williams. If you followed preseason last year, reports were that Williams was finally growing up and he was taking to being the mentor for Stewart and that mind set carried over into his play.

Throw in the fact that Stewart seems to get dinged at least his fair share if not more, it's hard to love this guy. To be honest, I liked him more last year at this time, than I do this year.

130 carries, 490 yards rushing and 5 td's

To be honest, I liked him more last year at this time, than I do this year.130 carries, 490 yards rushing and 5 td's
Explain that projection to me. I can understand if you think his injuries will not allow him to get as many carries, but 3.7 yards per carry? :goodposting:
