Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Bryce Young

Monday, November 17, 9:18 AM

NFL insider Ian Rapoport mentioned on Good Morning Football that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) is dealing with a fracture in his left wrist, but has not been ruled out for Sunday and is pushing to play. Rodgers missed the entire second half of Sunday's game with the injury, and backup quarterback Mason Rudolph played great, completing 12 of 16 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown. If Rodgers were to miss time, Rudolph, who does have 32 career NFL games under his belt, is a solid backup quarterback who can certainly keep the Steelers afloat. Through 11 weeks of the season, Rodgers has thrown for 1,969 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions, and has been a fantasy streamer quarterback at best at this point in his career. The Steelers face the Chicago Bears in Week 12, who allow the third most points to the quarterback position in fantasy football, making Rudolph a solid QB2 streamer if Rodgers doesn't go.

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said on Monday that the team won't have an update on quarterback Bryce Young's ankle injury until Thursday, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. Person notes that this is standard operating procedure with Canales during his Monday press conferences. The 24-year-old signal-caller appeared to suffer a serious injury early in Sunday's overtime win against the Atlanta Falcons, but he didn't end up missing a snap and finished with a career day. Young went 31-for-45 passing for 448 yards and three touchdowns in the Week 11 victory, mostly peppering receivers Tetairoa McMillan and Xavier Legette with targets to bring the team back from down 14 points. He could be limited in practice this week, but he should be able to play in Week 12 against the San Francisco 49ers. As long as his ankle doesn't negatively impact him in that game, Young will have high-end QB2 appeal in fantasy against San Fran's banged-up defense.
