Question posted by Massimiliano: Cam Newton has had better fantasy stats through two weeks. Who do I start in week 3, Ben Roethlisberger or Cam Newton?
Well, first, "Massimiliano's" statement that Cam Newton has outscored Big Ben through the first two weeks is true. And if you're playing real life football, Newton has also put up the better numbers. So honestly this question to me is easy to answer. You start Cam Newton. I know there will be plenty of people out there who disagree with that, particularly Steelers fans (of which I am not, but in no way is my bias influencing my opinion), but the numbers so far prove out that Cam Newton is the better fantasy option.
Also, Big Ben was hit by a very good Baltimore Ravens defense, and still hit by a mediocore Seahawks defense. Now he will be facing an Indianapolis Colts defense with two defensive ends in Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis who should just dominate the Steelers tackles and make them look like they're playing Pee Wee Football.
So Cam Newton is the better option this week, and maybe even for the rest of the season.
