FANTASY PROFILE: Cam Newton QB, Carolina Panthers
A rough outing last year has made many of us forget what a fantasy monster Cam Newton has been in his career. Newton has three Top five finishes at the quarterback position in fantasy football in only four seasons. He is healthy with an improved offensive line and more weapons to throw to, as the team added Jarrett Boykin, Tedd Ginn, Jr. and Devin Funchess this off-season to spruce up the passing attack. However, a pre-season injury that will cost Kelvin Benjamin the entire year is not good. He will still get you over 500 yards on the ground and half a dozen touchdowns with his legs as well.
