Player Notes
October 5, 2008
Defensive end Julius Peppers had only one tackle in the Week 5 win over the Chiefs, but it was a sack that forced a fumble. Fellow lineman Damione Lewis recovered the muff.

Our View:That's three straight games with a sack for Peppers. Considering he had only 2.5 sacks in all of 2007, that's no small feat. We're not sure he's fully back to his old, elite-level form, but Julius is looking better these days.
October 3, 2008
Carolina defensive end Julius Peppers was fined for his hit on Atlanta rookie quarterback Matt Ryan, according to NFL.com.

Our View:Peppers must pony up $10,000 for the helmet-to-helmet hit. He was flagged for unnecessary roughness on the play.
September 27, 2008
Expect a good game from Julius Peppers this weekend as he squares off against the Falcons. Starting left guard, Sam Baker is expected to be out on Sunday due to a concussion, meaning Peppers will matchup with Todd Weiner.

Our View:We are still waiting Peppers to explode for his IDP owners. The DE fell off last year going from 13 sacks in 2006 to just 2.5 in 2007. We are expecting results closer to 2006 this season, but he has just one sack in three weeks. Expect him to abuse Matt Ryan every chance he gets this Sunday.

Julius Peppers has not registered a sack over the first two games of the season, but coach John Fox believes he is playing fine, according to the Charlotte Observer. Fox said, "I think Julius has played exceptionally well this year. I've said this before. Way too much is made of sacks, way too much. I don't know how else to say it. Great players make Super Bowl runs and have only two sacks. It's a team game and there's more to it than sacks."

Our View:Peppers is not helping fantasy owners with only four tackles (two solo) so far, but may register his first sack in Week 3, as he recorded three sacks in his last meeting with Minnesota in 2006.
September 20, 2008
Carolina defensive end Julius Peppers has not accumulated a sack since November 18, 2007, according to Sporting News Today.

Our View:While many say it is because Peppers faces frequent double teams and other schemes, so do other elite defensive ends, yet they still manage to get to the quarterback. Fantasy owners with him in IDP leagues should hang onto him for now, but it's hard to forget last season's 2.5 sack effort.
