Panthers to go with Andy Dalton at QB

Sep 16, 2024

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, the Panthers are benching Bryce Young to start Andy Dalton — beginning with this week’s matchup against the Raiders.

Fantasy Impact:

As the story said, after the Week 2 loss HC Dave Canales said, "Bryce is our quarterback." But as the story added, Young has looked overmatched so far this season after struggling to a 2-14 mark last year. Young has completed just 55.4 percent of his throws for 245 yards with three interceptions. His passer rating is 44.1 and he’s averaging just 4.4 yards per attempt. As for Dalton, he's 36 and likely won't be considered a must-acquire fantasy target. But, he will have some weapons to work with in Diontae Johsnon, Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, so he may have some value in deeper superflex leagues.

Browns TE David Njoku "unlikely" to play Week 3

Kevin Stefanski is hopeful that Denzel Ward (shoulder) can play more than 11 snaps vs. Giants, TE David Njoku 'unlikely' to play.

Related Players: Jordan Akins

Fantasy Impact:

Akins has been seeing a bigger workload this year but not enough for our purposes. Over 49 routes run he has accrued only 37 yards. He can safely be kept on waiver wires.

You love to see it. Fire JJ up everywhere.

Packers QB Jordan Love returns to practice

Jordan Love practicing for first time since spraining his MCL in opener against Eagles. An awfully good sign for QB1’s availability this week in Tennessee.

Related Players: Malik Willis

Fantasy Impact:

Green Bay rolled out the perfect gameplan for Willis in Love's absence, but we shouldn't assume the latter only gets 14 pass attempts if he's good to go for Week 3. If he's ready to suit up, mark him down as a low-end QB1 against the Titans.
