Draft note

by John Paulsen

The Patriots signed Newton to a one-year "prove it" deal. He missed most of 2019 with a foot injury, completing just 50-of-89 passes for one interception and no touchdowns while rushing five times for negative two yards. In 2018, he completed 67.9% of his passes and had a 24-to-13 touchdown-to-interception ratio while rushing for 35 yards a game. This looks like a great signing for the Patriots, who were obviously uncomfortable going into the season with Jarrett Stidham and/or Brian Hoyer as their only options. If Newton is fully healthy, he's a threat for QB1 numbers. He has five top 4 finishes in his career and has never finished outside the top 17 when he has played 14 or more games. The signing is good news for all of the New England offensive players (outside of Stidham/Hoyer, obviously).

Latest news

Patriots QB Cam Newton (COVID) returning to practice

Oct 14 · 4:18 PM EDT

Patriots starting quarterback Cam Newton will practice Thursday after missing time due to testing positive for COVID-19.

Fantasy Impact:

This is huge news for the Patriots as they will likely escape their COVID outbreak only missing Newton for one game. Newton's return is an instant upgrade to the fantasy prospects of anyone associated with the New England offense as Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer looked disastrous in their time on the field. So long as Newton is cleared to play before this weekend, lock him into lineups as a QB1.

NE QB Cam Newton - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Denver Broncos
Cam Newton was cleared to practice on Thursday so it certainly looks like he will return as the Patriots' starting quarterback against Denver in Week 6. Newton's return instantly upgrades the fantasy prospects of just about everyone associated with the New England offense. The Broncos are a bit of a pass-funnel defense as they are good at stopping the run, which is what New England does best on offense. Newton may have to pass more than the Patriots would like in this one, but he still profiles as a strong QB1 as he can put up numbers through the air when called upon and still has unique rushing upside at the quarterback position. Get Newton back into starting lineups for Week 6 and his presence should be highly beneficial to the entire offense's production.
