Who Should I Start? Andy Dalton or Jayden Daniels

Sunday, October 27, 3:13 PM

The Carolina Panthers will not have quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb) or running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. Dalton is inactive after injuring his right thumb during a minor car accident earlier this week. His absence re-inserts Bryce Young into the Panthers starting lineup for Week 8. Meanwhile, Brooks is still on the non-football injury list after Carolina failed to activate him on Saturday. The rookie still has not made his NFL debut. The Panthers must activate him by November 6; if they don't, Brooks won't be able to play this season. Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders will handle most of Carolina's rushing opportunities until Brooks is healthy enough to play.

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels went 22-for-31 with 299 passing yards and two scores in their upset victory over the top-seeded Detroit Lions. Daniels added 51 yards on 16 rushing attempts. Daniels found his top wideout, Terry McLaurin, on a 58-yard TD strike in the second quarter. He would then find his tight end, Zach Ertz, on a five-yard TD pass later in the quarter. The rookie targeted his No.2 wideout Dyami Brown the most often but spread the ball around as four pass-catchers caught at least four passes. The former No.2 overall pick continues to produce at an elite level, no matter the size of the stage. He remains a high-end QB1 heading into the NFC Championship Game, where he will face either the Philadelphia Eagles or Los Angeles Rams.
