  • Carolina Panthers tight end Ed Dickson had a fantastic game against the Lions  on Sunday, hauling in all five of his targets for 175 yards.
  • Dickson’s 175 yards eclipsed his season totals from both the 2015 and 2016, and his 245 yards since replacing injured starter Greg Olsen in Week 3 are good for the third-best season total of his career.
  • Dickson still has his issues as a run blocker, where his 41.7 grade to this point will need to improve for the Panthers (who started the week ranked fourth in our PFFELO ratings) to have success in the run game.
