Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton went 14-for-27 for 212 yards against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. He also rushed for 43 yards on seven carries during the game.

Footballguys View: Newton was a fantasy dud because Jonathan Stewart punched in both of the short yardage running scores and the team also settled for field goals multiple times. It’s fair to wonder if the Panthers will use him as much as runner around the goal line after he was concussed, but Newton should still be a strong QB1 in any event with a porous Panthers pass defense that is likely to get him in high-scoring games.
