Who Should I Start? Bryce Young or Jaxson Dart

Tuesday, November 18, 11:18 AM

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) had one of the best games of his career in Week 11, completing 31 of 45 pass attempts for 448 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions in a win over the Atlanta Falcons. Unfortunately for Young, he also suffered an ankle injury that may affect his status for Week 12. Young was able to finish the game against Atlanta, but Panthers head coach Dave Canales said the team won't have an update on Young's ankle until Thursday. The Panthers play the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. If Young can play, he could be in a position to build upon his Week 11 breakout against the shorthanded San Francisco defense. However, Young has topped 200 passing yards just twice in 10 games this season, so expectations should be at least somewhat limited. Young profiles as a solid fantasy QB2 heading into Week 12.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) is expected to return to practice on Wednesday "in some capacity," per ESPN's Jordan Raanan. Dart suffered a concussion in Week 10 that forced him to miss New York's Week 11 loss to the Green Bay Packers. It remains to be seen whether Dart will be able to practice in full on Wednesday or if he will be limited, but either way, his presence on the field is a positive sign for his chances of playing in Week 12 against the Detroit Lions. Across nine games (seven starts) this season, Dart has thrown for 1,417 yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions while rushing for 317 yards and seven scores on 57 attempts. If active, he profiles as a solid fantasy QB1 in Week 12 against Detroit. If Dart cannot return, veteran quarterback Jameis Winston would be in line to make his second straight start for the Giants on Sunday.
