3 years agoCarolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton will get the majority of first-team practice reps this week in preparation for the Washington Football Team in Week 11. Newton will be in line for his first start of the season after he was used sparingly in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals, where he was able to throw a touchdown pass and run one in himself. In his second stint in Carolina, Newton could offer some QB2 appeal because of his ability to run the ball effectively near the goal-line, giving him a higher floor for fantasy production. The 32-year-old likely has his best days behind him, but he still has the ability to produce stat lines that will be attractive to fantasy managers. Newton could be one of the top waiver pickups this week as some notable quarterbacks have their BYE weeks approaching.--Tommy Adamopoulos - RotoBaller
