Cam Newton Fantasy

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton appears to be at full-strength after undergoing a procedure on his shoulder this past offseason. "It's like night and day," stated cornerback Captain Munnerlyn when asked about how the veteran quarterback has looked during camp. "His arm looks a whole lot better. You can tell he's been working. I'm expecting big things." While fantasy managers will likely continue to be cautious regarding Newton's health, he could easily surpass expectations this season if he can remain injury-free, with those who selected him in later rounds left to reap the potential benefits.

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera confirmed on Tuesday that quarterback Cam Newton nor linebacker Luke Kuechly will play in the team's preseason opener on Thursday on the road against the Chicago Bears. Both of the team's cornerstone players have had their share of dings and dents over the past couple of seasons, and the coaching staff obviously knows what they have in each. Newton remains a legit QB1 in most fantasy formats, while Kuechly is a beast in IDP fantasy leagues for his high rate of tackles. The presence of a healthy Kuechly also makes the Panthers DST a solid No. 2 option.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton returned to practice on Friday after getting a routine day off. Though his absence on Thursday raised some eyebrows, the former MVP put any questions regarding his arm strength to rest by firing a deep shot to wide receiver Curtis Samuel during the teams annual Fan Fest. After undergoing a procedure to address the lack of velocity in his throwing arm, Newton looks healthy and could be a solid mid-round steal for those who still have faith in his skills on the field.
