Who Should I Start? Bryce Young or Dresser Winn

Wednesday, January 15, 12:53 PM

After a disastrous rookie season in 2023, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young got off to a terrible start in 2024 and was benched after just two games in favor of veteran Andy Dalton. The Athletic's Joseph Person writes that the second-year signal-caller made arguably the most important 180-degree turnaround in franchise history. Young was among Pro Football Focus' highest-graded QBs in the final 11 weeks of the season, and his turnaround was sparked by improved body language and fire and much better footwork. Young's footwork ended the year "light years ahead" of where it was at in 2023 and to begin this season, according to a team source. The former No. 1 overall pick had a 61.8 completion percentage, 2,104 yards, 15 TDs and six interceptions in his last 10 starts. He won't be a QB1 in fantasy in 2025, but his turnaround gives fantasy managers hope he could eventually get there.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Dresser Winn could make the initial 53-man roster as the No. 3 option on the depth chart, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. A product of the CFL, Winn is on his second stint with the Rams and played the entirety of Saturday's preseason finale, completing nine passes for 72 yards and adding another 20 yards on the ground. Rapoport indicates that the Rams could roster three quarterbacks, and with Jimmy Garoppolo suspended to start the year, Winn is on track to make the team behind Matthew Stafford and Stetson Bennett. If he does make the roster, Winn would likely be inactive on gameday as the Rams' emergency third quarterback.
