Cam's just happy to be alive. (USATSI)
The fact that Panthers quarterback Cam Newton survived his wreck in Charlotte is a miracle. There was someone looking out for him upstairs and he knows it.
Newton was released from the hospital on Wednesday and posted an inspired message on Instagram. On Thursday he met with the media and noted he thinks he's on the Big Guy's fantasy team.
"I'm on somebody's fantasy league and I think it's the man upstairs," Newton said.
Newton is likely going to miss all of Sunday's Week 15 game against the Buccaneers -- Derek Anderson is officially the starter -- but he doesn't care, pointing out he's happy just to be breathing.
"I feel great. I could be feeling worse, as we all know," Newton said. "I'm lucky to be standing here. God is good."
He certainly is. But here's the real question: is Newton on God's fantasy team? Because you'd think he would want him active for the playoffs.

Texans WR Andre Johnson misses practice Wednesday due to concussion, currently day-to-day
The Houston Texans could be without wide receiver Andre Johnson when they face divisional foe the Indianapolis Colts, in Week 14. Johnson was knocked out of the team's 27-13 win at Jacksonville on a second quarter hit by Jaguars' LB Telvin Smith and has yet to practice this week. When asked about Johnson's status after the missed practice, head coach Bill O'Brien was mum, not saying whether Johnson had made any progress in the league's concussion protocol. The only thing he stated was the the 33 year-old Johnson was, "day-to-day."
The Colts have the fifth-stingiest defense against wide receivers in fantasy this season, so the matchup is already a tough one. If Johnson isn't cleared, WR DeVier Posey would replace him, and that would create a less favorable matchup for DeAndre Hopkins than the one he was already facing. Don't expect big things from the Texans' receiving corps this week.
