Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 11: Cam Newton an easy call vs. Saints
Cam Newton is having a season to forget, but look for him to have a big game vs. the Saints.

The Carolina Panthers’ 3-6 start can be largely pinned on the drop-off Cam Newton has had this season.
After winning the NFL MVP award last year, Newton has struggled to find that same magic in 2016. He enters Week 11 as the 15th-leading fantasy scorer among quarterbacks after finishing first in 2015.
Newton has also thrown for just 10 touchdowns this year, four of which coming in Week 2 vs. a putrid San Francisco 49ers defense. The good news is one of his best games this season came against the New Orleans Saints, who Carolina will host on Thursday Night Football.
Back in Week 6, Newton threw for 322 yards and two touchdowns against the Saints while rushing for another score. We should expect Newton to have a similar performance this week with the game now in Carolina.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Newton as the second-best quarterback in Week 11. He faces a Saints defense allowing the 13th-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season.
Keep Newton in your starting lineup this week.
