Coming on in recent weeks, rookie Devin Funchess has been seeing the field more and more. Over the past four games, Funchess has seen his snap count grow from 13% in Week 8 to 79% in Week 11.
The Michigan product finally took advantage of the increased playing time in Week 11, turning his new found opportunity into 64 receiving yards and a touchdown. With Cam Newton playing the best football of his life and showing the rookie plenty of attention -- he saw eight targets in Week 11 -- look for his role to continue to expand this week.
A matchup against the Dallas Cowboys isn't the most ideal situation -- the Cowboys are 15th in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play. However, the opportunity and increased playing time are enough that you should consider Funchess if you find yourself with a hole at wide receiver this week.
