| Panthers | Cam Newton gets praise from teammate |
Thu, 03 Jul 2014 10:26:08 -0700
Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen praised QB Cam Newton. "I don't know if there is another QB in the league that does what he does...he has really grown," Newton said.
Fantasy Tip: The big question with Newton will be his health after undergoing an ankle procedure in the offseason. If he is healthy going into training camp, he should be considered a QB2 going into the season.

| Panthers | Offense too conservative? |
Mon, 09 Sep 2013 16:28:48 -0700
Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera admitted that his team's offense was too conservative in their Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. QB Cam Newton only had three pass attempts of more than 10 yards in the game. "There are some things that need to be looked at on both sides in terms of getting the ball vertical," Rivera said as he looked ahead to Week 2 at the Buffalo Bills. "We looked through it. We talked about it and those will be the things that we look to do. We have to create more of those opportunities." The Panthers rushed for 134 yards on 26 carries against Seattle.
Fantasy Tip: To be fair, the Panthers were facing one of the better pass defenses in the league in the Seahawks. However, expect Newton and the offense to attempt to stretch the field more often, beginning in Week 2. This should benefit Steve Smith, Greg Olsen and the other receiving options.

| Panthers | Three stars favor HGH testing |
Sat, 27 Jul 2013 23:38:25 -0700
Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton, WR Steve Smith and TE Greg Olsen have all come out in support of testing for human growth hormone, something currently not done in the NFL. "Whatever the NFL decides to do I'm all for it, whether HGH testing or any testing," Newton said. "I'll be prepared to do the test." Olsen also called it good for the game, and Smith said he is all for weeding out the cheaters.

| Panthers | Greg Olsen showing rapport with Cam Newton |
Tue, 18 Jun 2013 06:08:18 -0700
Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen is showing great timing with QB Cam Newton during offseason workouts.
Fantasy Tip: Olsen could re-establish himself as a solid No. 1 tight end option this season. He's expected to play most snaps and could develop into Newton's top target. Look at him as a sneaky low-end No. 1 option.

Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen had team-highs with six receptions and 89 yards in the Week 4 loss against the Atlanta Falcons, and he had a 17-yard touchdown to open the game's scoring.
Fantasy Tip: Despite the solid day, Olsen and the Panthers offense faces another difficult matchup in Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks. Olsen should still be considered a fringe fantasy option heading into that game in leagues of 16 or fewer teams.
