The Panthers receiving corps has been surprisingly effective this season even after losing Kelvin Benjamin in preseason. While tight end Greg Olsen is Cam Newton’s first option in the passing game, Ginn has become his favorite receiver.

Ginn hauled in a season-high five passes last week for 59 yards and added 43 yards on his one carry. The nine-year veteran out of Ohio State has shown he still has the ability to make plays, and he’s worth a gamble at his extremely reduced price this week against the Colts on Monday Night Football.

Ginn is only 3,400 on DraftKings and a solid 5,300 bargain on FanDuel. He’s available in over 60% of ESPN leagues, but he has been increasingly involved in the Carolina attack and his a solid play against the Colts’ suspect secondary.
