Stewart had a dreadful 2.5 yards-per-carry average in a win over the Detroit Lions, but he did find the end zone once and finished with a solid 11.90 fantasy points. As long as the Panthers are without their veteran lead back, DeAngelo Williams (thigh), Stewart is worth a roster spot in most fantasy leagues. He'll have a plus-matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers' questionable run defense in Week 3.
