The Facts: It's uncommon for a 6-5, 245-pound quarterback to be the most athletic player on the team, but that's certainly the case with Newton in Carolina. The two-time Pro Bowler is unquestionably the Panthers' most dynamic offensive weapon.

Diehards Line:As NFL.com's Bucky Brooks explained, OC Mike Shula takes advantage of Newton's rare skill set by crafting a game plan that routinely puts the QB on the perimeter. Newton deftly executes designed runs and various zone-read plays, but it's his ability to spontaneously take off when the pocket collapses that scares opponents. He is too big for many second- and third-level defenders to bring down on the perimeter, making him a dangerous weapon to use on run/pass option plays -- particularly down in the red zone (he has 33 rushing touchdowns in four years). With Newton also displaying a big arm and unlimited range as a passer, the Panthers have one of the NFL's most dangerous offensive threats at their disposal. Fantasy owners shouldn't overlook that rushing component.
