We've got you completely covered. Quarterback Cam Newton FD 8400 DK 6400 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 22.64 DK - 23.28 After an early Week 3 bye, the Panthers return in Week 4 with a cupcake-ish match-up against a 1-3 Giants team with a -22 point differential. Cam comes into this games as the third-best points-per-game fantasy quarterback on the season thanks in large part to what he’s done on the ground. He’s second overall in quarterback rushing yards (despite playing one less game than basically anyone else).

He’s tied for second in the league with 11 touchdown passes and, for the first time in quite a while, is working with a fully healthy and competent receiving corps. The combination of AJ Green and Tyler Boyd have a combined 69 targets for 46/646/7. Gone are the days where teams could sit on Green while essentially ignoring the other WRs (and the running game). The Bengals also have impressive wins against the Ravens and Falcons (on...
