Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton continued his stretch of poor play in Week 10. The Panthers went down early to the Philadelphia Eagles and the game was effectively over by halftime, with Newton getting sacked nine times and tossing three interceptions on the night.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 11: Cam Newton
Cam Newton had a miserable time on Monday night, but salvaged his fantasy game in garbage time. Will he rebound against the Falcons defense?

Newton did save his stat lines thanks to garbage time in the second half, throwing two late touchdowns to Kelvin Benjamin. He finished with 306 on 25-of-40 passing, but it was a brutally ineffective night that led to the coaching staff denying reports that Newton was dealing with injuries.
Fantasy impact: Newton hasn't reached 20 fantasy points in standard Yahoo! leagues since Week 6. It's been frankly painful to watch him take abuse in the pocket and continually make poor, desperate decisions on his throws. If he has a bounce-back game in him, it should come against the Atlanta Falcons' porous defense in Week 11. At this point, however, Newton can no longer be trusted as a must-start QB1. His fantasy ceiling is severely capped with his running ability taken out of the picture.
