Who Should I Start? Bryce Young or J.J. McCarthy

Saturday, October 25, 6:21 PM

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) is currently listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Unless a miracle happens, Young figures to be watching from the sideline this weekend. However, the Panthers are hopeful that Young is only going to miss one week of action. The team is targeting Young to return for the Week 9 contest against the Green Bay Packers. In the meantime, Andy Dalton will almost certainly be under center for Carolina this weekend. The 37-year-old isn't a recommended streaming option, but hopefully Young will be back after this game.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) will return to the starting role in Week 9 if he's fully healthy, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. McCarthy has missed five consecutive games, leaving Carson Wentz as the team's starting quarterback. The veteran is now 2-3 while filling in for McCarthy, and the urgency to hand the reins back to the Michigan product could be growing after Wentz struggled in the Vikings' 37-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night. Rapoport cautions that while the starting job will belong to McCarthy, he's only going to play if he's fully healthy. The 22-year-old will now have 10 days to get healthy before a quarterback decision must be made in Week 9 against the Detroit Lions.
