Cam Newton 'not very likely' to play Sunday for Panthers
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is "not very likely" to play in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals, per head coach Matt Rhule.
What It Means:
Newton will travel with the Panthers to Arizona for Sunday's game, so there's a chance he will play, but Rhule said Week 11 against the Washington Football Team is probably more realistic. Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports believes Newton could be active against the Cardinals "as either an emergency player or subbing in for some special packages," which would limit Christian McCaffrey's touchdown upside. P.J. Walker will make his second NFL start for Carolina on Sunday.
Walker is the QB25 in numberFire's Week 10 fantasy rankings and our models project him for 13.9 FanDuel points. The Cardinals have the second-best overall defense and second-best pass defense in numberFire's NFL Team Power Rankings.
