Quick Reaction: Daniel Jones named Starter, Cam Newton Misses Practice

in #sports5 years ago

Fantasy owners are desperate at the QB position with Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger, and Sam Darnold injured not to mention Mitch Trubisky, Jameis Winston, Eli Manning, and Jared Goff struggling. Cam Newton appears to have the dubious distinction of struggling AND being injured. Daniel Jones has been named the starter for Week 3. Daniel Jones looked the part of an early First-Round rookie pick in preseason. It was never a question of if he would get the start over Eli Manning, but when. So what should you do with these QBs?

Daniel Jones is worth an add if you can't get someone like Josh Allen. Jones starts with a matchup vs TB. In addition to good matchups vs in-division rivals PHI, WAS, and DAL he gets to face MIA, NYJ, and ARI. You just want to avoid playing him vs BUF, NE, CHI, GB, and MIN.


Cam Cam Newton is a different story. Reports are coming out that he re-injured the foot he hurt in preseason. This injury may explain why he's looked off. I'd still hold him if it looks like he'll be back within the next few weeks. Get him off your roster if it's looking like this injury will linger longer than that.
