The worst nightmare for the Carolina Panthers and fantasy football owners everywhere came true when Cam Newton was evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons, according to Max Henson of the Panthers' official site.
Now, Derek Anderson will be thrust into the spotlight as he fills in for the reigning MVP. Just because he is now in a position to start for the Panthers, though, doesn't mean Anderson should immediately be considered a viable fantasy option.
Since arriving in Carolina in 2011, Anderson made two total starts before this season.
