Carolina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart will be used as the team's short-yardage back, according to Scott Fowler of The Charlotte Observer.
This isn't particularly surprising, as rookie Christian McCaffrey is expected to be used more in the passing game, but it does serve as a reminder that Stewart will still play a big role in Carolina this season.
numberFire's models project Stewart for 10.3 carries, 41.2 yards and 0.3 touchdowns, making him our 33rd-ranked fantasy running back in Week 1.
