Cam is a risky fantasy play. Yeah, he had 75 yards rushing and 2 TD yesterday, but if he DOESN’T get that, it’s unlikely he will have the passing totals to make up for it anytime soon. He’s the #7 QB so far this week with the MNF games still to play. He may be an ok fantasy starter, but early in the year I don’t think he will be a fantasy difference maker. Like you said, once he can get some passing totals, he will probably be worth starting with more confidence.
Like I said he has a good solid floor due to his rushing just like the other QBs that rush well.
It was RPO with Cam, many different directions and blocking schemes. All, with exception of a QB sneak, were non-existent For the most part with Brady. Brady was great at QB sneak though.
Yeah, I watched. I was just being facetious.It was RPO with Cam, many different directions and blocking schemes.
On the one hand, Cam's completion rate is higher now than it used to be thanks to earlier work with Norv turner, and on the other hand NE uses 4 or 5 different backs and a variety of formations. Seattle might end up dominating NE this weekend, but if they do it won't be because they know how to beat 2016 Cam.
Only 42.55 pts this week in my league. Can't wait for the Pats offense to get rolling.
And Cam has to stay healthy too. You have to admit that even on different teams there weren’t many years when both Edelman and Newton were both healthy.
They are more likely to go after OBJ or Robinson. At least that’s what I thought before tonight. I am not convinced NE will be able to dial up 400 yards passing against other teams. SEA secondary was banged up.
I thought the OL looked really good in pass protection. Running the ball, not so much. Maybe Sony and that OL don’t mix. Probably Sony and any OL don’t mix.
Cam also doesn’t have the same talent for skilled position players as Russ does. But you are correct that Wilson will make teams pay.
I've had him on & off my fantasy teams over the years. This is as accurate I have ever seen him. I laughed as people were drafting Edelman this year. Apparently I was wrong.
Yeah, I didn't understand that playcall. Maybe if the ball is inside the 1, but it was 2 yards. Better to spread the field and have a back next to Cam and do the read option.
They ran the same exact play for a TD earlier in the game. For what it's worth.
Fully agree. Taking a lot of shots though.
It had to be COVID. Teams couldn't get him in for a physical.
It seems like they didn’t want to negotiate a large money contract extension. The coach, from NO, was comfortable with Bridgewater due to his experience in NO. I think other teams were not into Cam since he had proven little since his shoulder injury. In fact, the Pats did not pay him his worth. So I think Newton chose less money to have crack at starting job rather than be a back up(like Dalton took in Dallas). It is turning out to be a great bargain for the Pats and a good deal for Newton. If he has a solid year he will make a huge contract out of his year in NE.
I don't really know, but I see about 9 plus matchups rest of the year. Playoffs he has two good matchups, but both on road, and a rough week 16 vs Bills at home.

In the "your biggest sleeper of 2020" thread I had him at QB5-8. Right now he's ~QB5.
He was washed up ..that throwing shoulder was bad , he had no range , his last year he wasn't even having fun anymore ..looked slow
I think he will finish behind Jackson, Mahomes, Wilson, Murray and Dak, and maybe Allen. So top 10. And his floor is nice and high since he's going to get 40+ yds rushing, which is an extra TD pass in most leagues. So I would say QB6 or QB7.
As someone else already pointed out this is the same play they have run for a few TD's so far this year. I would have guessed Seattle was looking for it and the result proves that. I think I would have run the pass option off that play again if I used that formation. For me, I probably spread the field with 4 or 5 WR's and then let Cam QB draw if the front was right or roll out. I also think a naked bootleg would have worked as well. Overall it was an obvious play call based on what NE has done through two games and Seattle was ready for it.
I would package him for Murray in a heartbeat but I doubt the Murray owner will go for it.
I understand Cam has scored a couple of TDs with this play. But Seattle was clearly ready for it. I would just want to have multiple options from a full 2 yards out....Cam keep it himself, Cam hands to RB, or pass.
Cam wasn't asking for a contract extension. He said he would play out the last year of his contract, and he would prove himself. He wanted to stay in Charlotte. I don't know if it was Rhule or Tepper (I don't think it was Hurney) that in the end didn't want to keep Cam. I didn't like how Tepper fired Rivera before the season ended, and I didn't like how Cam was sent packing either. Olsen too. I don't like the Patriots, but I like Cam, so I'm rooting for him to do well. I'm rooting for Rivera as well.
