Draft note

by John Paulsen

Newton is a sure bet to outproduce his ADP as long as he remains the starter in New England. Typically, rookie quarterbacks drafted early in the first round–in this case, Mac Jones–see quite a few starts, but Newton offers more than most of the incumbents typically usurped by first round rookies. Newton is a sneaky pick given all the new receiving weapons in New England.

Patriots Beat: QB Cam Newton performs like the starter

The Athletic

0 minutes ago

Overall, in terms of quality reps and performance, this was the first practice of camp when Cam Newton truly looked like the starter. Coach Bill Belichick, of course, recently noted Newton is the starter at the moment, and there’s no disputing that based off Newton leading off every competitive team period.

Related players: Mac Jones

Fantasy Impact:

The story added this was the first time Newton had a distinct advantage in reps with starting-caliber teammates around him on offense and defense. Newton was 5 of 7 in 11-on-11s against the starting defense, while Jones was 0 of 4 with an interception in 11-on-11s against the starters and 1 of 2 against the backups.

NE QB Cam Newton - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. New York Jets
Cam Newton's contributions in the passing game are negligible at this point. He is essentially a pure running quarterback and was pulled last week for Jarrett Stidham as the Patriots offensive struggles continued. The only saving grace for Newton this week is a matchup with the lowly Jets, though they have been playing better as of late after beating the Rams and Browns. With Newton's passing floor being nonexistent and rushing production being difficult to project, he is a volatile fantasy option, and one that will bust more of than he booms. If you're playing Newton this week, it's because you're banking on the Patriots trampling the Jets in the run game, which is far from a safe bet. Newton is nothing more than a volatile QB2 at this point in his career.
