Cam Newton signs with Panthers

Nov 11, 2021

Free agent quarterback Cam Newton has signed with the Carolina Panthers.

Fantasy Impact:

Reunited, and it feels so good. The Carolina Panthers have added Cam Newton. Newton is now vaccinated and claims to feel the best that he has in years, so this may be his final shot. It may take him some time to familiarize himself with the playbook, so it may be P.J. Walker under center for Week 10. This is a huge move for a Carolina team that has a playoff-caliber defense and has struggled with Sam Darnold's ineffectiveness holding them back. Sam Darnold being sent to injured reserve created the need for an upgrade in the quarterback room, and Cam Newton was the answer. Newton is always interesting due to his QB1 upside, and now armed with more weapons than he has had since his Super Bowl run, he could push for weekly QB1 status when he takes over under center.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
