Fantasy Impact:

As announced earlier in the month, Newton will undergo his shoulder surgery Thursday. Schefter reports that the 27-year-old signal caller is expected to be sidelined for "about four months" as a result. Newton will miss spring workouts but should be available for the start of training camp in late-July. Although he is still slated a QB1 by most experts after accounting for a down year in 2016, Newton has work to do before being mentioned in the elite category he was in during the 2015 campaign in which he accumulated 45 total touchdowns.
