Cam Newton's Fantasy Football Appeal With the Patriots Is Well Worth the Risk

After the Carolina Panthers released longtime quarterback Cam Newton in March, it was only a matter of time before he found a new NFL team.

Yet it took quite a while for the former MVP winner to make it official. He's now a member of the New England Patriots.

The agreement is just a one-year deal that's deemed "incentive-laden" by ESPN's Adam Schefter, and that implies that Newton isn't exactly walking into a Week 1 starting job despite the ostensibly weak quarterback competition.

That's what makes projecting Newton difficult in fantasy football for 2020.
