Bryce Young went 11-for-20 for 102 yards and one interception in the Carolina Panthers' 16-13 upset victory over the Green Bay Packers in Week 9. After missing last week's game due to an ankle injury, Young logged his worst fantasy performance of the 2025 season this week, registering only 4.0 fantasy points. The third-year quarterback also recorded the lowest number of passing yards in a game, failing to pass for a touchdown for the first time this season, and had his lowest completion percentage since Week 1 (55%). Despite Young's struggles, the Panthers won this game through strong performances on defense and the running game. Rico Dowdle scored the Panthers' two touchdowns, while the defense held the Packers to one TD and two field goals. Fantasy players who roster Young in superflex leagues can consider starting him against the Saints in Week 10. New Orleans allowed four TD passes to Matthew Stafford in Week 9.

Bryce Young is back after missing Week 8 due to an ankle injury, but he goes against the Green Bay Packers in his return. Green Bay is on a three-game winning streak and has not allowed more than 23 points in two of those wins. Over the past two weeks, the Packers defense registered nine sacks. This season, Young has averaged 13.9 fantasy points per game but registered fewer than that in four of his last five outings. In seven games played this season. Young has finished as a top 10 fantasy QB once. If the Panthers play from behind, Young can be a productive passer, as 876 of his 1,288 total pass yards this year were recorded while trailing. Young is best suited as a low-end QB2 for Superflex formats.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) has been cleared to return to face the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field in Week 9 on Sunday. Young suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 7 win over the New York Jets and was unable to play in last week's blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills. However, the 24-year-old has healed quickly and returned to full practice this week. The former first overall pick will play this weekend, but there's a good chance his mobility will be limited, making him slightly less attractive in fantasy as more of a QB3 option in superflex formats. In addition to his ankle potentially limiting his scrambling ability, the matchup on the road against a stout defense in the Packers is not ideal for fantasy purposes. Green Bay's defense has allowed the 20th-most fantasy points per game this year to opposing QBs.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) practiced in full for the second consecutive day on Thursday as he battles an ankle injury that sidelined him in Week 8. Young appears to be trending towards making his return in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers, but the team has not officially announced his status. Panthers backup quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb) was limited in practice on Thursday due to a thumb injury, so Young may actually be the team's healthiest option. Across seven games in 2025, Young has completed 61.6% of his pass attempts for 1,288 yards, 11 touchdowns, and five interceptions. Even if he's active, Young should likely be avoided by fantasy managers as he heads into a difficult Week 9 matchup against Green Bay.
Oct 30, 2025 4:08 PM EST
Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, according to David Newton of ESPN. Despite Young's return to a full practice, head coach Dave Canales said that the team will decide on the starting QB in the next few days for Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers. The 24-year-old is being considered day-to-day for now, but a full practice on Wednesday suggests he has a good chance of returning this weekend after missing the Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills due to a high right-ankle sprain that he suffered in Week 7 against the New York Jets. Veteran Andy Dalton was forced to make the start last weekend and came out of the blowout loss with a right-thumb injury. All signs are pointing toward Young making his return this Sunday at Lambeau Field.
Oct 29, 2025 3:23 PM EST
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) returned to practice Wednesday after missing Week 8 due to a high-ankle sprain. Young was seen practicing on a wet field, which bodes well for his availability this week. The Panthers have emerged as a playoff contender behind the 24-year-old signal caller. The team will face the Green Bay Packers on the road this week, in a pivotal NFC matchup. If Young can play, it will set up a matchup of rising signal callers as he takes on Jordan Love. Rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan could also benefit from a full-strength offense.
Oct 29, 2025 2:07 PM EST
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) had a good running session on Monday, according to his head coach, Dave Canales. While he is still considered day-to-day, there is a chance he returns this week after missing one game with an ankle injury. With Andy Dalton running the show in a Week 8 loss to the Bills, the Panthers' offense struggled mightily, failing to gain 250 total yards and turning the ball over three times. While Dalton completed only 16 passes on the day, seven of those went to Tetairoa McMillan for 99 yards, signaling that the rookie receiver should be able to produce a safe fantasy floor on volume alone, regardless of who is under center when the Panthers face the Packers in Week 9.
Oct 27, 2025 3:00 PM EST
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) is officially listed as inactive for Sunday's tilt against the Buffalo Bills. The former first overall pick suffered this ankle injury during their Week 7 victory over the Jets. Young was unable to practice all week and will set his sights on returning in Week 9 when the Panthers travel to Green Bay to face the Packers. With Young sitting out, veteran QB Andy Dalton is slated to operate as the team's QB1. Last season, Dalton eclipsed at least 20.0 PPR points in three of the four games he logged more than 40 offense snaps. Facing a tougher Bills defense that has allowed the sixth-most PPR points to opposing QBs, Dalton carries low-end QB2 upside.
Oct 26, 2025 11:50 AM EST
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) is currently listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Unless a miracle happens, Young figures to be watching from the sideline this weekend. However, the Panthers are hopeful that Young is only going to miss one week of action. The team is targeting Young to return for the Week 9 contest against the Green Bay Packers. In the meantime, Andy Dalton will almost certainly be under center for Carolina this weekend. The 37-year-old isn't a recommended streaming option, but hopefully Young will be back after this game.
Oct 25, 2025 6:21 PM EST
The Carolina Panthers are listing quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) as doubtful to play in Week 8 this Sunday against the visiting Buffalo Bills, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. Young is not going to play this weekend after sustaining a high-ankle sprain in last week's win over the New York Jets, and is also probably going to be in question going into the Week 9 contest at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, Nov. 2. With Young unavailable to play this Sunday, veteran Andy Dalton will make his first start of 2025 for the Panthers. Dalton has the weapons to put up some numbers for fantasy managers in need of a second QB in two-QB leagues, but the Panthers could lean on their strong backfield of Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle, as long as the game script allows. At best, consider Dalton a low-end QB2 streamer in fantasy this week.
Oct 24, 2025 12:59 PM EST
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday due to an ankle injury, per ESPN's David Newton. Newton reports that "Young is still day-to-day" and the team "hasn't named a starter" for their Week 8 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Young was forced to exit early from Carolina's Week 7 win over the New York Jets due to the injury. Veteran quarterback Andy Dalton finished Week 7 under center for the Panthers and would be in line to start against the Bills if Young is unable to play. In six games (five starts) for Carolina in 2024, Dalton completed 66.3% of his pass attempts for 989 yards, seven touchdowns, and six interceptions. Fantasy managers should avoid Dalton in Week 8, even in two-quarterback formats.
Oct 23, 2025 4:11 PM EST
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) was held out of the first practice of the week on Wednesday due to the high-ankle sprain he suffered in the Week 7 win over the New York Jets on Sunday, according to Darin Gantt of Panthers.com. Head coach Dave Canales said that Young is considered "day-to-day" for this Sunday's contest against the Buffalo Bills. High-ankle sprains typically sideline players for at least several weeks, so fantasy managers should be planning on being without the 24-year-old this weekend. The good news is that the young signal-caller wasn't seen wearing a walking boot on Wednesday. The team isn't ruling Young out yet for Week 8, but the expectation is that veteran QB Andy Dalton will make his first start of 2025 this Sunday against the visiting Bills. At best, Dalton will be in play as a low-end QB2 streamer in leagues that start two QBs if Young is officially ruled out.
Oct 22, 2025 3:56 PM EST
According to head coach Dave Canales, the Carolina Panthers are looking to add quarterback depth this week. Starting QB Bryce Young (ankle) suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Jets, and it was veteran backup Andy Dalton who closed out the game. With Young expected to miss some time, Dalton is in line to get the start when the Panthers host the Bills in Week 8. Behind Dalton, the Panthers currently have no other quarterbacks on the active roster, so the team will likely activate third-year pro Hendon Hooker from the practice squad to the game day roster, but will look to bring in another arm as they attempt to add to their three-game winning streak.
Oct 20, 2025 2:45 PM EST
According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) is expected to miss his team's matchup with the Buffalo Bills in Week 8 after sustaining a high ankle sprain. Young left Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets after picking up the injury, and although initial X-rays returned negative, an MRI revealed the sprain. The grade of the injury was not reported, though these issues typically entail a few weeks of recovery and could linger. Veteran Andy Dalton is set to work in the third-year pro's stead while he's shelved. As of now, it's unclear how long that will be. Dalton has shown competence in spot starts before, but he'll have his hands full this Sunday against a Buffalo defense that's allowed the second-fewest passing yards per game (167.2).
Oct 20, 2025 12:17 PM EST
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) is undergoing tests to evaluate the severity of his ankle injury, according to head coach Dave Canales. Young exited during the second half of Sunday's Week 7 win over the New York Jets and was unable to return. Andy Dalton took over in his absence, and while he did close out the victory, he was unable to lead a scoring drive. The Panthers were relatively fortunate that Young's injury came in a softer matchup against the Jets, who were never able to mount a true comeback threat. Their schedule gets much tougher in Week 8, though, as they take on the Buffalo Bills. Having Young available will be key for the Panthers as they look to pull off the upset at home. Fans and fantasy managers should keep an eye on the Panthers' injury reports over the next week.
Oct 19, 2025 4:58 PM EST
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the New York Jets. He was taken to the locker room and was initially listed as questionable to return before being downgraded to out. He finishes Sunday's game having completed 15 of 25 passes for 138 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. He also rushed for 10 yards and took a sack. Young was replaced by Andy Dalton, who will be tasked with preserving Carolina's multi-possession lead over the Jets. Fantasy managers invested in Young's status should monitor the Panthers' practice reports leading up to Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills.
Oct 19, 2025 3:53 PM EST
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the New York Jets. He was taken to the locker room and is officially questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had completed 15 of 25 passes for 138 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. He also rushed for 10 yards and took a sack. Young was replaced by Andy Dalton, who will be tasked with preserving Carolina's multi-possession lead over the Jets.
Oct 19, 2025 3:39 PM EST
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has played better of late and is coming off his most efficient game of the season against the Cowboys, completing 17 of 25 passes for 199 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. After a brutal Week 4 showing in a 42-13 loss to New England, Young has responded with two solid performances. The third-year QB has performed well at home, leading the Panthers to wins in all three contests in Carolina, but he's struggled on the road. Young will look to change that as the team travels to New York to face the 0-6 Jets in Week 7. He offers QB2 value, but the ceiling is limited.
Oct 18, 2025 4:13 PM EST
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has shown signs of growth in his third season in the National Football League. While he hasn't been consistent, he's still had some favorable outings for fantasy managers. The signal-caller most recently threw for 198 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception off 19-for-30 passing in the Week 5 win over the Miami Dolphins. Although things could have gone better in that one, it's safe to say Young could have played much worse based on his volatile track record. Truth be told, he at least did enough to keep his team competitive in Week 5, with Rico Dowdle handling the rest by amassing 206 yards and one touchdown on the ground. With that in mind, Young has work to do before earning the trust of fantasy managers. However, with injuries at the quarterback position and a few teams getting the week off, the 24-year-old can realistically occupy a spot in Superflex lineups versus a weak Cowboys defense, assuming managers are comfortable taking a gamble.
Oct 11, 2025 8:56 PM EST
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young hasn't been able to find much success early in the season. Young posted a 328-yard performance in Week 2, but has been quiet outside of that. In his other three games, Young has been held to 154 passing yards or less. The Panthers offense isn't clicking right now, but they do get a favorable matchup in Week 5. They'll go up against the shaky Miami Dolphins secondary this weekend. Sadly, this offense doesn't have the weapons to get the job done on a consistent basis. Young will offer low-end QB2 value for this weekend.
