Trade for Cam Newton? WHIR!

Postby Lenny6 » Fri Oct 07, 2011 4:33 pm

The team that has Tom Brady has Cam Newton as a backup, but he needs help at WR. Will Cam Newton be able to keep scoring like this, and will he be a big improvement over my QB's, Matt Schaub and Eli Manning? Newton is #3 in scoring in our league behind Ridgers and Brady, 1 point ahead of Brees; Eli is 8th and Schaub is 16th. The scoring for our league is 1 pt per 25 pass yards, 1 pt per 10 rush/rec yards, 6 pts per pass/run/rec TD.

I suppose it comes down to whether or not Cam can keep up his 1 TD rushing and 35+ pass attempts per game, or will defenses start to game plan better for him? His passing TD:INT ratio is only 5:5, about what I'd expect for a rookie QB, but not for a top fantasy QB without the extra production.

My team:
QB: Schaub, E.Manning (start 1)
RB: Chris Johnson, Hillis, Bradshaw, Addai, Tate (start 2)
REC: Roddy White, Nicks, Bryant, Steve Johnson, Dallas Clark (start 3)

His team:
QB: Brady, Newton
RB: Foster, Jones-Drew, Benson, Green-Ellis, DeAngelo Williams
REC: Welker, Colston, Manningham, Hines Ward, Ochocinco

I was going to offer Steve Johnson or Dez Bryant + Schaub for Newton and Ochocinco if you think that improves my team. Leave a link and I will help in return. Thanks!

He will keep it up. Carolina is a new team. With a new o-coordinator who loves to sling the ball...which is what cam does best. He will continue to produce at a high level and they will continue to be in shootouts due to one the panthers having one of the worst run defenses in the nfl. I love cam and i had him i would start him on a weekly basis. I would offer Johnson or Bryant then trade ur exta qb for a wr.
