3 years agoNew England Patriots quarterbacks Cam Newton and Mac Jones are both expected to get some playing time when the New England Patriots open the preseason against the Washington Football Team on Thursday night. It has been a battle to earn the starting nod, but it seems Newton will be the Week 1 starter based on reports out of camp. Newton being the starter could lower the ceiling of running back Damien Harris, who will probably get his touchdown upside limited because of the dual-threat ability that Newton possesses. Jakobi Meyers, N'Keal Harry, Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne, Jonnu Smith, and Hunter Henry will surround Newton this season, which is a much-improved group from last year. Whoever is the starter in New England will have some fantasy appeal, especially Newton with his rushing ability. Newton will be a solid QB2 in fantasy and can be a great streaming option against weak opposing teams.--Tommy Adamopoulos - RotoBaller
