Cam Newton, Julian Edelman's Fantasy Outlook After Reported Patriots Contract

The New England Patriots signing Cam Newton not only altered the NFL landscape for 2020, it could also have a massive effect on the fantasy football season.

It's still important to temper expectations.

The Patriots reportedly signed the quarterback to a one-year deal for the veteran minimum, although he can make up to $7.5 million in incentives, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. This contract tells us even New England isn't sure what it will get out of the 2015 league MVP.
