Who Should I Start? Andy Dalton or Trace McSorley

Wednesday, October 29, 5:07 PM

Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, according to the team. Dalton struggled mightily in his first start of the season in Week 8 against the Bills, completing 16 of 24 pass attempts for 175 yards and no touchdowns while turning it over three times and taking seven sacks. It's unclear when the 38-year-old suffered the injury to his right thumb, but his practice status will be monitored as the week goes along. It may end up being just a one-week fill-in for Dalton, as starting quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) practiced in full on Wednesday and appears to be trending toward playing in Sunday's matchup against the Packers.

Washington Commanders quarterback Trace McSorley shined in the second half as he threw for 125 yards with a passing score and added 40 yards on the ground. The former Penn State product led the Commanders to all of their 20 points in the second half. McSorley tallied his passing score in the final minutes of the game on a four-yard pass to Martavis Bryant. Jeff Driskel got the starting nod as he is currently listed as the No.3 quarterback on the depth chart, but McSorley's performance does put him in the conversation to take over that role. McSorley appeared in six games in the 2022 season and got the start in a Week 16 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and threw for 217 yards. While his performance on Sunday evening may have earned him a spot on the final roster, he will only be fantasy-relevant if the quarterback room suffers numerous injuries.
