Cam Newton (foot) will not play Sunday

Sep 20, 2019

Panthers QB Cam Newton will not play Sunday against the Cardinals because of a foot injury. Kyle Allen will get the start.

Fantasy Impact:

This was the expected news after Newton did not practice Wednesday and Thursday. Kyle Allen will get the start against the Cardinals and it is certainly a downgrade across the board, save for Christian McCaffrey. Expect him to continue to get a healthy does, if not more than he already has this season. Allen played in two regular season games last season, including a Week 17 win against the Saints, though most of the Saints’ backups played in that game.

Diontae Johnson (concussion) remains in protocol

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson remains in concussion protocol, according to Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Fantasy Impact:

Johnson would have to clear protocol and get in a limited practice of two over the next three days to play Sunday against the Titans (assuming the game is not postponed or cancelled). James Washington and Chase Claypool would vie for Ben Roethlisberger's attention if Johnson misses Week 4.

Phillip Lindsay (toe) limited Tuesday

Troy Renck of Denver ABC 7 reports that RB Phillip Lindsay was limited Tuesday because of a toe injury. Renck also said the practice conducted was a walk-through ahead of Thursday night's road game against the New York Jets.

Fantasy Impact:

Lindsay missed Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay and was trending towards playing Thursday when he was listed as doubtful Friday. The Broncos could use their full complement of backs to alleviate the pressure new starting QB Brett Rypien will be facing in his first start. If he does suit up, Lindsay is more of a flex option than locked-in starter.

Jamison Crowder (hamstring) believes he will play Thursday

Jets WR Jamison Crowder told reporters on Tuesday that he believes he will play Thursday, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post. "[Crowder] Said he did some cutting today and ran routes," tweeted Costello. "He has missed last 2 games with hamstring injury."

Fantasy Impact:

Good news for a Jets offense void of receiving talent due to injury. A healthy Crowder will be peppered with targets by Sam Darnold. The Jets slot receiver would fall into WR3 territory after missing two games.
