Fantasy Football Trade Targets – Cam Newton

Since the other two players also come from the same team like the Bucs did, let’s throw in a wild card and include Cam Newton. Some leagues might not need this advice, because they only need one and you can stream a lot easier. Even in those leagues, it might not be a good idea to have a quick finger on the drop button for Cam.

Last season, he finished as the QB14 despite missing 2 games. He also finished at QB7 in points per game, which helps illustrate Newton should have nowhere to go but up after this Week 1 stinker.

When Newton doesn’t run the ball, that can be a detriment to his ceiling and floor. To just hit 18 points, he would need at least 250 passing yards and 2 touchdowns. Despite the fact he might have the most raw talent to work worth in his career, Cam still needs to be a little selfish.

Running for -2 yards isn’t helping anyone who rostered him but his career average is 38.8 yards per game. That’s a free touchdown in four point passing leagues and it’s a matter of time before Newton starts running a bit more. The Rams have talented corners in Aqib Talib and Marcus Peters, plus slot corner Nickell Robey-Coleman. It’s not hard to see why D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel didn’t explode in this game. If you can get a top 10 quarterback for a song, there’s no reason not to do it.
