Who Should I Start? Bryce Young or Jalen Coker

Friday, December 20, 12:48 PM

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said that quarterback Bryce Young will start the final three games of the 2024 regular season. "Bryce is going to finish the season for us," Canales said. Young took a step back in the Week 15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, but the Panthers have no reason to go back to veteran Andy Dalton while out of playoff contention. The 23-year-old second-year signal-caller got off to a terrible start in 2024 and was benched after two games in favor of Dalton, who gave the club a spark initially. Eventually, Dalton got injured, forcing the Panthers to go back to Young. In his last seven starts, Young has taken a step forward, completing 60.6% of his passes for 1,492 yards, eight touchdowns and six interceptions while also running for two scores. Still, he turned the ball over four times last Sunday and has only one passing touchdown in each of the last six games.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (quad) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The rookie wideout hasn't played since Week 10 while he recovers from a quad injury. It now appears that Coker will be back in the mix this weekend. However, it's uncertain what kind of role Coker is going to have with Adam Thielen healthy and playing well right now. Coker might end up falling into the WR4 role which isn't going to offer much fantasy value. Coker will be a desperation flex option for Week 15.
