Cam Newton Will Start In Week 11
3 years agoCarolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said that quarterback Cam Newton will start in Week 11 against the Washington Football Team. "Cam will take the first play," Rhule says. The quote from Rhule makes it sound as though P.J. Walker could still be involved, but even if he is, we'd expect to see a much larger dose of Newton under center this Sunday in his second game back with the team. It was nice to see Newton return and score two touchdowns immediately for Carolina, but Washington's defense has allowed only 97.1 rushing yards per game this year, and fantasy managers shouldn't expect Newton to return to similar production that he had in his prime with the Panthers. However, with a bigger workload, he should at least serve as a solid QB2 streamer in two-QB leagues because of his rushing prowess.
