The logic is that running QBs are massive fantasy players. Even if Newton struggles as a starter, he'll still be a decent fantasy play.

Yes, I realize he had 400+ passing yards and less than 20 rushing yards, but the rushing TD plus the rushing is almost 8 points in most leagues. A 300 yard passer is only 15. That's how big a skew a rushing QB creates.

Kim is in an ultra deep keeper league where she finished second last year. I was absolutely flabbergasted that Newton was still on the board when she picked at #11. He has a chance to be a fantasy anchor for the next fifteen years.

Thus the reason I wanted Vick. 187/2 = 17.35pts....add in the 97 rushing, I'm sitting at 25ppg. - Will Hunting Sep 14, 10:31
Next year, I'm probably going to have to decide whether to keep him for the price of a 5th round pick. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 14, 10:07 1
- We'll find out a lot more about him as a pro as the season progresses but he tore up the SEC in a way I hadn't believed possible. -- nm - David Sep 14, 10:16
