Cam Newton, Ted Ginn, Jonathan Stewart Post-Week 14 Fantasy Advice

Tyler ConwayDec 13, 2015

The Carolina Panthers continued their rampage through the NFL on Sunday, earning a 38-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons

Cam Newton and Ted Ginn connected on two long touchdown passes, while Jonathan Stewart added a one-yard touchdown. The Panthers are football's lone remaining unbeaten and put up 30-plus points in their last four games. 

Here is a look at how Carolina fared in Week 14 and what that means from a fantasy perspective going forward.

Cam Newton

There's not much analysis needed here. Newton is arguably the favorite for NFL MVP and is an every-week start in all fantasy formats. He's posted multiple touchdown passes in eight games this season, has more rushing touchdowns than all but three running backs and appears to be hitting his stride of late.

There is no reason to consider benching him. Even in games where he's not throwing for a high yardage total, Newton typically does enough on the ground to justify a solid performance.

Carson Palmer and Tom Brady are producing more from a traditional standpoint, but only Brady had more fantasy points coming into this week.

Just keep riding the hot hand.

Much of the same can be said of Stewart, who is a clear-cut RB1 this season. Stewart has posted double-digit fantasy points in seven of his last nine games. In 2015, that more than qualifies for every-week status in all league formats.

He came into the week seventh in fantasy points among running backs, but it's his consistency that helps him win out. The Panthers have fed him the ball at least 20 times in eight of their last nine games; not even Adrian Peterson or Doug Martin can say that.

Much like Newton, it's time we start recognizing Stewart among the best at his position.

Ted Ginn

Some days Ted Ginn is going to be awesome; others, not so much. Figuring out which version of Ted Ginn will show up has flummoxed folks for his entire career. With four touchdowns in the last two weeks, it's going to be tempting to throw him in your lineup.

Just a quick word of caution: Do you really feel confident putting your fantasy playoff life in the hands of a touchdown-dependent deep threat who is a couple weeks removed from putting up goose eggs across the board?

Didn't think so.
