Cam Newton will have a pitch count to start camp

Jul 24, 2019

Ron Rivera on training camp plan for Cam Newton: There will be a pitch count, but “we believe he’s ready to roll.”

Fantasy Impact:

Cam Newton won't go on the PUP list but will have his reps monitored to keep wear and tear off his throwing shoulder. Even with these limitations for practice, this is good news for Newton and the Panthers. Add in a healthy Greg Olsen and Christian McCaffrey, D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel as targets and Newton's fantasy upside remains high.

Steelers have signed QB Ben Roethlisberger to a new contract for 2021.

Fantasy Impact:

It's highly unlikely we'll see a return to prior 2019 form for Ben Roethlisberger, but he remains the starter in Pittsburgh for 2021. Even without JuJu Smith-Schuster if he decides to sign elsewhere, the 39-year old QB does have plenty of surrounding offensive weapons and should be considered a QB2 heading into this season.

Giants released WR Golden Tate, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

Last year wasn't the best for Golden Tate, who put up a 35-388-2 line for the Giants in 12 games. The 32-year old will look to get a gig with another NFL team, most likely a one-year deal.

Saints release TEs Jared Cook and Josh Hill

The Saints have officially released TE Jared Cook and TE Josh Hill. The Cook move is procedural, as he was scheduled to be a free agent at the start of the new league year.

Fantasy Impact:

Jared Cook will be 34 at the start of the 2021 season and may have some trouble finding a starting gig, but does still have some playmaking abilities. Josh Hill could find work in the blocking department for a team this season, after spending all his eight-year career with the Saints. For now, Adam Trautman assumes the starting role in New Orleans at TE.
