The Facts:
DeAngelo Williams saw the bulk of carries on Sunday after Stewart’s left hamstring cramped up on a 43-yard run in the second quarter. “I cramped up right when I burst through the hole,” Stewart said. “My left hammy just tightened up. I tried to keep running. I think it was because it was cold and I wasn’t warmed up properly because I’d been sitting on the sidelines for awhile. It’s a lesson learned.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Gazette staffer Steve Reed suggested, you could tell something wasn’t right with Stewart because two defensive backs ran him down behind, eventually forcing him to fumble. Lucky for the Panthers, guard Travelle Wharton hustled down the field and recovered the ball at the Green Bay 3 to prevent a turnover and set up a touchdown -- a one-yard run by Jake Delhomme.
