Cat Crave: 

Prior to last week, tight end Ed Dickson would have been a solid choice but after five catches and 175-yards, everyone knows his name. Then, there’s a very underappreciated offensive line. Center Tyler Larsen has filled in for veteran captain Ryan Kalil since Week 2 and done a phenomenal job stepping in at such a vital but underappreciated position.

Really, every offensive lineman other than tackle Matt Kalil goes unnoticed but the unit as a whole has been great, beginning in the preseason. Carolina currently ranks second to Philadelphia in offensive line grades according to Pro Football Focus and it’s a result of guards Andrew Norwell, Trai Turner and left tackle Daryl Williams.
