After a knock down, drag out battle with the 'hawks, everyone thought 'hey,
Cam Newton at home against New Orleans, a team with a weak secondary? He should destroy'um!' In the famous last words to twitter...WELP. Yeah, there have been very few 'wow' type plays from Cam over the last couple of weeks. You could say he's gone from 'Cam wow' to 'sham wow' but that would be such a blatant abuse of the pun world just to sneak in a
Vince remix, I'd like to think I'm above that. What? Who put that link there! I'm appalled! But since it's there already there...I mean, why remove it now, you know? In reality, nothing new has happened for Cam to make me excited about him this week vs what he dealt with last week. He's still getting a great set up for a potential big game against an Eagles secondary that ranks near the bottom in most fantasy categories for points against when it comes to opposing QBs. Well, I would say the main difference is that it's not on Thursday Night...yeah, I am one of those guys who still thinks TNF sometimes gives us more WTF than the regular Sunday/Monday tilt. It changes the dynamics of prep, of healing, of approach in general. Some teams are good at it, some ain't. We'll put Cam and company under the 'can't' for this argument. After the week and a half off leading up to this Sunday, I think Newton and crew come out swinging. The best part is, the Panthers defense is still a mess so the game should stay competitive and give Cam a shot at that elusive 300/100 double bonus dip we all want and love. Of course, if he can just pass for 300 and rush for 50 and add 3 TDs in there, we'll all be happy, right? Right. So now that we've got that opening settled let's start working towards a closing. Here's my hot takes for the week 10 DK slate...
