The Panthers needed a safety. And the Panthers signed a safety Brian Burns Jersey , in the form of former first-round draft pick Eric Reid.New teammate Greg Olsen, appearing on Friday’s PFT Live, suggested that Reid could be ready to go as soon as next Sunday, following Carolina’s annual week off.“I think it happened at a good time bringing him in during the bye week,” Olsen said. “Kind of get a head start on prepping to hopefully be able to contribute really quickly C.J. Anderson Jersey , as maybe as early as next week. So we鈥檒l see how he practice goes when we start back up on Monday but I鈥檓 sure he鈥檚 happy to be back in the league and kind of have that behind him and we鈥檙e happy to have him.”Olsen said he’d heard “whispers” about the team possibly adding Reid. Those whispers could end up being a roar, if Reid can play for the Panthers like he has in the past.“Got to see him yesterday,” Olsen said. “I was at the facility doing some of my rehab and treatment and he was in for his physical, so I got to visit with him for a quick minute. . . . Here鈥檚 a guy who can really help us. Here鈥檚 a guy from all measures of everyone who knows him, who knows him personally as a teammate and just as a friend Luke Kuechly Color Rush Jersey , says nothing but great things about him and speaks very highly of him. Guys like Torrey Smith and those guys who have played with him out in San Francisco have nothing but great things to say about him as a person and of course we all know what he鈥檚 done as a player. So we鈥檙e looking forward to having him we think he can really help us and just getting another veteran presence in that secondary with some of the young guys that we鈥檝e had come on strong this year I think will make our defense better.鈥滱t a time when the Panthers have had plenty of injuries, Reid won’t make the defense any worse. And with Carolina caught in a three-way tie atop the NFC South, anything that can help them on the field will help them in the standings. I get lots of fantasy advice in my inbox regarding waiver wire pick-ups. Here are the ones I think make sense for Week 8.Fantasy Pros week 8 Waiver Wire SuggestionsOf course you can use Fantasy Pros to search the waiver wire for you and suggest the best players to pick up for each of your teams. I have all eight of my teams connected so that when I click on a player it tells for which of my teams the player is available. It’s pretty sweet really.I think Oakland running back Jalen Richard is the easily best pick up this week. He could get No. 1 running back carries while also being a pass catching option as well. A better but less available option is Browns running back Nick Chubb. With Carlos Hyde jumping into the Jacksonville fire it leaves the lion’s share of carries for the talented rookie. If you need a wide receiver then certainly Saints wide receiver Tre’Quan Smith has a chance to put up a big number sometime soon, especially with Ted Ginn now on injured reserve. A second option is the Chargers Tyrell Williams. He is a boom or bust option but it was sure a boom last week.We have a stand out at the tight end position as well, a guy I actually picked up last week and he produced for me. That would be Bengals tight end CJ Ozumah. There no one else I would consider. At quarterback it is a little tougher to find a worthy selection. The only viable ones available generally are Joe Flacco and Case Keenum. This is a tough call but I would go with Flacco. Keenum has been terrible lately ... not counting their last game. That was more due to the defense killing the Cardinals. The Panthers secondary is going to give up some passing yards and a score or two. I’m not saying they will lose Ryan Kalil Color Rush Jersey , just that I think Flacco will out score Keenum.Good luck to you!
