Bryce Young Logs Second Straight Full Practice on Thursday

Thursday, October 30, 4:08 PM

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.

Bo Nix News

Bo Nix is a Must-Start QB1 in Week 8

Friday, October 24, 11:41 PM

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix enters Week 8 as RotoBaller's sixth overall-ranked quarterback in a plus matchup against the Dallas Cowboys at home. The Cowboys' defense has been abysmal this season, allowing the most passing yards per game (288.0) of any team so far in 2025. Nix should be able to exploit the Cowboys through the air as he pleases, as the Cowboys have allowed a total of 16 passing touchdowns so far on the season. Nix should be easily inserted in lineups this week as a QB1 after erupting last week for a new career high in fantasy points scored.
