Scouting report

CAR QB Cam Newton - Week 21, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Super Bowl vs. Denver

Cam Newton dominated the Cardinals in the NFC Championship Game two weeks ago in a blowout victory for the Panthers. He finished the game with 335 yards passing with two touchdowns and a pick, plus he added 47 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the ground. Cam has been a dominant force this year, and has been fantastic through two playoff starts this year.

This week, Cam will face a dominant Denver defense that was fourth in the NFL in scoring defense this year. Still, Cam should be able to use his versatility to put up points against the Broncos, and he’s far and away the better fantasy option in the Super Bowl. Fantasy owners should look to secure Cam in their lineups this week if possible, as he’s a big step up over Peyton Manning at this stage in their respective careers.

CAR QB Cam Newton - Week 20, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

NFC Championship vs. Arizona

Cam Newton didn’t put up big fantasy numbers, but played well last week against a Seattle defense that was first in the NFL in points allowed this season. He finished the game with only 161 yards passing and a touchdown, but came away with a big win as the Panthers went up early on and managed to hold on late for the victory.

This week, Cam will have another tough defense to face, as Arizona ranks seventh in the league in points allowed and eighth in passing yards. Still, Cam has been dynamic all year, and with the other three starting QB’s this week having flaws or matchup problems of their own, we recommend Cam as a top option in all league formats.

CAR QB Cam Newton - Week 19, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 19 vs. Seattle

Cam Newton is coming off his best year as a pro. On his way to leading the Panthers to a 15-1 record and the top seed in the NFC, Newton was tied for fifth in rushing touchdowns, finished 31st in the NFL in rushing yards, and was tied for second in the league with 35 touchdown passes. Newton was fantastic all season despite having limited weapons to work with, and finished the season with an efficient victory over the Bucs, totally four touchdowns (two passing, two rushing) on the day.

This week, Cam faces a daunting task against one of the best defenses in the league. Seattle has allowed 10 rushing touchdowns to opposing offense this year, but otherwise ranks in the top two in nearly every other significant defensive category. Still, Cam managed to put up solid numbers when these two teams faced earlier in the season, and has gotten better since that meeting. Fantasy owners should continue to ride Cam’s success, regardless of the matchup, and he’s our top option at the quarterback position this week.

CAR QB Cam Newton - Week 17, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Tampa Bay

Cam Newton had a rough game against the Falcons last week in the Panthers’ first loss of the season. He had only 142 yards passing, but added 46 yards and a touchdown on the ground. He now has eight rushing touchdowns this year, and remains an elite fantasy option week-to-week.

In the season finale, Newton will face a Bucs defense that ranks 17th in the league in passing yards allowed, and are tied for 25th in the league in touchdown passes given up with 29 on the season. The Panthers will be playing for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs and should be ready to go against their division foes. Cam is a must start this week in all formats and should rebound after a tough outing last week.

CAR QB Cam Newton - Week 16, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Atlanta

Cam Newton had another monster game against the Giants last week, throwing for 340 yards and five touchdowns! He also added 100 yards rushing and just straight up dominated most fantasy leagues in a narrow victory over the Giants that extended the Panthers, undefeated record to 14-0. Cam is now second only to Tom Brady in passing touchdowns this season with 33.

This week, Cam will face a reeling Falcons team that he destroyed just a couple of weeks ago. In that matchup, he had 265 yards and three touchdowns. There’s no reason to think the Panthers won’t once again move the ball effectively against Atlanta, and with 18 touchdown passes in the last five weeks, Cam Newton is a must start in all league formats.

CAR QB Cam Newton - Week 15, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. New York Giants

Cam Newton had another great game against the Falcons last week, throwing for 265 yards and three touchdowns and not turning the ball over all game. The Panthers shutout the division rival Falcons and Cam extended the Panthers undefeated season to 13 games.

This week, Cam should have another fantastic game against the Giants. New York is dead last in the league in passing yards allowed and it’s not even close. Few quarterbacks are as hot as Cam Newton is right now, and he’s even getting MVP talk. He should be considered a top fantasy option this week and should be started in all leagues.

CAR QB Cam Newton - Week 14, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Atlanta

Cam Newton had another big day against the Saints last week in what turned out to be a shootout. He threw for 331 yards and five touchdown passes with only one pick. As he often does, he also added 49 yards rushing, bringing his total on the season to 476 yards on the ground. Cam is playing lights out football during the Panthers currently undefeated season.

This week, Cam faces a tough Atlanta pass defense that has played much better under new head coach Dan Quinn this year, but that shouldn’t affect his ability to put up fantasy points too much. Atlanta has allowed 15 rushing touchdowns this season, and Cam tends to find his way around the goal line. He’s a must start each week while he continues his assault on opposing defenses, and is our top fantasy option this week at quarterback.
