Williams to start, Stewart to finish: The Herald reports Carolina first-round RB Jonathan Stewart is largely recovered from offseason toe surgery. Whether he's ready to practice fully remains to be seen. Either way, his absence has opened the door for DeAngelo Williams to claim a starting job. Williams might be the incumbent, but it's Stewart who best matches coach John Fox's philosophy. A thicker, physical runner, Stewart appears to be the best chance they have of replicating Stephen Davis circa 2003, and all they did was go to the Super Bowl that year. They'll use them both, but it's hard to imagine Stewart not having more carries by December. (Updated 07/21/2008).
Injury Report
No information available at this time (Updated 7/26/08).
Fantasy Analysis
For now, go into the season with Stewart as a No. 3 Fantasy option and Williams at No. 4. Even if Williams start, Stewart will likely score the touchdowns. By the end of the season, it appears Stewart will be the full-time back. (Updated 07/21/2008).

The Carolina Panthers signed running back Jonathan Stewart to a five-year deal that includes $10.8 million in guaranteed money, putting all their draft picks under contract early Saturday before the team's first training camp practice.
Our Dave Richard explains some solid running back draft strategies for Fantasy owners to consider in 2008, and adds why there are so many good rushers out there for people to consider on Draft Day.
For the Buccaneers and Panthers, all focus is on their running back battles come camp time. Tampa Bay has a trio to choose from while Carolina hopes rookie Jonathan Stewart can be another weapon in the backfield, Clark Judge says.
