Jonathan Stewart may not be back to the talent he used to be, but he looked determined to reassert himself as a legitimate NFL rusher when he squared off against the Seahawks' defense in Carolina in Week 8. Stewart commanded 16 of the 18 carries and was the only back to be targeted on pass plays for the Panthers, which he turned into 94 total yards.

Things should be even easier when the Panthers get to face the Saints on Thursday Night Football. New Orleans did get the short end of things and are forced to play Thursday after a Sunday night affair against the Packers. The Saints are already in the bottom third in the league in allowing fantasy points to running backs, so all signs point to a pretty solid game from Stewart.
