He has plenty of appeal on his own -- his rushing makes  Roberto Clemente Jersey him a potential top-12 QB on its own -- but if Newton can just be somewhere north of abysmal, that's an upgrade over what the Panthers have right now."Christian McCaffrey's best season came when Newton wasn't healthy, but he still had 107 catches with Newton in 2018, so I'm not concerned about Newton's rushing abilities taking away from him, and he would be an upgrade for D.J. Moore, who has top-12 potential himself if he can sustain his target share around 30%." -- Chris Towers (CBS Sports Fantasy Analyst)
