No surprise, Panthers will stick with QB Andy Dalton

Sep 23, 2024

There wasn’t much suspense about who will be starting at quarterback for the Panthers in Week 4, but head coach Dave Canales made an announcement at his Monday press conference anyway.

“Andy Dalton is our quarterback. He gives us the best chance to win,” Canales said. “That’s the approach as we get ready for the Bengals.”

Related players: Bryce Young

Fantasy Impact:

Andy Dalton was 26-of-37 for 319 yards and three touchdowns in Carolina’s 36-22 win over the Raiders in Las Vegas. That was a huge leap up from what the Panthers did on offense with Young running the offense in back-to-back losses to open the season. Even better, fantasy owners of Chuba Hubbard and Diontea Johnson saw signs of life from those players.

Dan Campbell says Sam LaPorta suffered sprained ankle

Lions head coach Dan Campbell says tight end Sam LaPorta suffered a sprained ankle during Sunday’s win over the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact:

The injury happened during Jahmyr Gibb’s touchdown in the second quarter. LaPorta got rolled up on in the end zone. He was later carted off the field. He tried to return to the game in the third quarter only to leave shortly thereafter. We’ll likely know more Monday but it’s fair to think LaPorta may miss a little bit of time. The Lions host the Seahawks next Monday night then go into their bye week in Week 6.

Brian Callahan says Will Levis remains Titans starter

Despite his second two-interception game, Will Levis remains the Titans starting quarterback, said head coach Brian Callahan Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

Levis went 26/34 for 260 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions (with one pick-six) in Tennessee’s 30-14 loss Sunday to the Packers. Levis now has four touchdowns and five interceptions for the season and the Titans are 0-3. Levis has turned the ball over eight times through three games. He was also sacked eight times by the Packers and has taken 15 sacks this season. We’ve already seen one major quarterback change among 2023 draft picks, could we see another? The Titans play at Miami next Monday night. For the record, Mason Rudolph is Levis’ backup.

Sam LaPorta carted to locker room

Lions TE Sam LaPorta was carted to the locker room late in the first half against the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact:

The injury happened as LaPorta was blocking downfield on Jahmyr Gibbs’ touchdown. The Lions have had multiple injuries so far today but this is easily the most fantasy-significant for the Lions and across the league. LaPorta had been considered the top fantasy tight end. Hopefully it’s not a serious injury but we will certainly wait for more details. He had two catches for 36 yards before leaving.
