Fantasy Impact:
The simple fact that Newton might not play in the preseason opener shouldn't
concern fantasy owners. Even if he plays, he would only receive one or two
series. With a limited workload expected anyway, there's no reason to panic
just yet. This is the franchise protecting their greatest asset. With the wide
receivers needing reps and Rivera hinting at handoffs for Newton, it’s a good
bet that he sits Friday.
