“Killa Cam” [8.10.19]

Written by: Steven Seaman

Do you like MVP winning quarterbacks? Do you like top 3 upside for a cheap price? If so, Cam Newton is your guy.

I understand the shoulder concerns coming into this year but the later we get into August, the more it looks like Newton is ready to return to full form. Remember how scared everyone was of Andrew Luck last season because of the shoulder? He won so many people leagues drafting him at a similar price and made everyone who passed on him look foolish.

Before his injury, Cam had an 11 game span averaging 250+ passing yards and 2 or more touchdowns. He was near the top of the fantasy QB list a majority of the year and still finished at 10 with a bum shoulder and limited rushing playbook.

Newton has finished in the top 10 six times since his rookie season and has finished as the QB1 during his MVP season. He’s performed at an elite level before and there is no reason to think he can’t perform that way again with this Panthers roster.

He is a dominant rusher which gives him a great floor, especially in leagues where passing touchdowns are worth 4 points instead of 6.This also could very well be the best group of weapons Cam has ever had with CMC, DJ Moore, Curtis Samuel, and a healthy Greg Olsen.

Elite production in the 8th round of Fantasy drafts are what championships are made of. Put all the concern aside and draft this potential league winner for a bargain price.
