Newton found Greg Olsen in the end zone for his touchdown pass in the first quarter. He accounted for seven total touchdowns over his previous two games.
Fantasy Impact: Newton has been disappointing for fantasy owners this season, but he is finally coming alive just in time for the start of the fantasy playoffs in a lot of leagues. With at least 40 yards rushing in each of his last three games, Newton is producing yards every which way. He should be considered a solid fantasy starter in just about every format going forward.
