After suffering a concussion last Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, it now seems doubtful Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton will be cleared to play on Monday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Newton was not at practice on Friday and with no further reports about if he has made any progresss through the concussion protocol, it seems extremely doubtful he plays this week. Derek Anderson will start in his place and could make for a bargain quarterback in DFS this week with the great matchup.
