Cam Newton
The No. 1 overall pick in April’s draft stunned fantasy owners with a 422-yard, 2 TD pass performance in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Newton, who became the first NFL player to throw for 400 yards in a debut, will face a stout Green Bay Packers defense next week on the road. How Newton performs will be laid heavily on the backs of his offensive line against Clay Matthews and the defending champion Packers.

Chris Johnson
The Pro Bowl running back had one of his worst rushing performances of his career, rushing for a measily 24 yards on nine carries and caught six passes for 25 yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Johnson will have his hands full against Ray Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens run-stuffing defense next Sunday in the Titans home-opener. If you were to choose a week to sit Johnson, this would be the one.
