Bryce Young an Intriguing Start in Week 10 Versus Saints

Friday, November 13, 3:05 PM

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young rebounded in Week 9 in a matchup against the Broncos that was tough on paper, finishing as the QB6 after posting QB18 and QB24 finishes the previous two weeks. Young finished the day with 28 completions for 276 yards and three touchdowns, bringing his passing touchdown total to 17 on the year. This performance makes Young all the more intriguing in his Week 10 matchup versus the New Orleans Saints, whose defense ranks 14th in fantasy points per game given up to opposing QBs and has allowed 255.6 passing yards per game. They have also allowed 18 or more fantasy points to QBs in three of their last four matchups. The Panthers' offensive line has been struggling with injuries, but it still enabled Young to perform well last week. The Saints' defense has a lower pressure rate than their Week 9 opponent, sitting at 19th in the league, which could once again give Young room to make plays. He is a borderline top-12 QB play this week and can be comfortably started as RotoBaller's QB13.

J.J. McCarthy News

J.J. McCarthy a Low-End QB2 Against Commanders

Wednesday, November 11, 4:06 PM

New York Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy (hip) is off the injury report and slated to start in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. McCarthy suffered a hip pointer during the Giants' 19-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles but practiced all week and is healthy enough to play Thursday night. In three games with the Giants this season, McCarthy has completed 43 of 68 passes for 622 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. McCarthy is set to face a Commanders defense that has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Washington has also allowed the fourth-most passing touchdowns in the NFL (16) and the third-most yards per game this season (240). While potential inclement weather could be a factor Thursday night, McCarthy should be considered a low-end QB2 in his first start for the Giants at MetLife Stadium.
