Cam Newton signs with Panthers

Nov 11, 2021

Free agent quarterback Cam Newton has signed with the Carolina Panthers.

Fantasy Impact:

Reunited, and it feels so good. The Carolina Panthers have added Cam Newton. Newton is now vaccinated and claims to feel the best that he has in years, so this may be his final shot. It may take him some time to familiarize himself with the playbook, so it may be P.J. Walker under center for Week 10. This is a huge move for a Carolina team that has a playoff-caliber defense and has struggled with Sam Darnold's ineffectiveness holding them back. Sam Darnold being sent to injured reserve created the need for an upgrade in the quarterback room, and Cam Newton was the answer. Newton is always interesting due to his QB1 upside, and now armed with more weapons than he has had since his Super Bowl run, he could push for weekly QB1 status when he takes over under center.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
