Cam Newton

According to Pro Football Talk, Cam Newton and the Panthers are open to a reunion for 2022.

Fantasy Impact

After a wacky 2021-2022, Newton saw himself rejoining his former team at the mid-point of the NFL season. During his 2021-2022 tenure, he appeared in eight games and had a passer rating of 64.4 with 684 yards, 4 touchdowns and 5 interceptions. His teams are 13-23 with Newton as the starter over the past four seasons, with Newton throwing 36 touchdowns, 29 interceptions and posting an 84.7 passer rating while rushing for 1,308 yards and 21 touchdowns.

Panthers coach Matt Rhule says Cam Newton will start on Sunday against the Bucs.

Fantasy Impact

Rhule says Newton will "have a major role." Sam Darnold (shoulder) was recently cleared for contact and could return over the season's final three weeks. Rhule has been benching Newton during games lately, which makes him impossible to trust for fantasy purposes.

Panthers QB Cam Newton completed 18-of-38 passes for 156 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding 15 rushes for 71 yards and a touchdown as a rusher in Sunday's Week 15 loss to the Bills.

Fantasy Impact

Newton totaled to scores in Week 15. His 71 yards rushing also helped his cause in fantasy. Newton is an ugly play, but he brings a solid floor in fantasy. Newton gets the Bucs in Week 16.

Panthers QB Cam Newton completed 15-of-23 passes for 178 yards with an interception and ran the ball 10 times for 47 yards with a touchdown in Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact

Newton was benched in the first half but was right back in there in the second. While Newton has been effective as a rusher, he is not getting the job done as a passer. A lot of it has to do with Christian McCaffrey being sidelined. It also has to do with Newton himself needing more help around him. Newton will get a desperate Bills team in Week 15.

Cam Newton started the game for the Carolina Panthers Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons but was quickly replaced by former XFL star P.J. Walker.

Fantasy Impact

Neither Cam Newton nor P.J. Walker should be looked to for fantasy production until the Panthers make a concrete decision on who their starter is for the remainder of the season.
