Who Should I Start? Bryce Young or Jayden Daniels

Monday, November 3, 12:39 PM

Bryce Young went 11-for-20 for 102 yards and one interception in the Carolina Panthers' 16-13 upset victory over the Green Bay Packers in Week 9. After missing last week's game due to an ankle injury, Young logged his worst fantasy performance of the 2025 season this week, registering only 4.0 fantasy points. The third-year quarterback also recorded the lowest number of passing yards in a game, failing to pass for a touchdown for the first time this season, and had his lowest completion percentage since Week 1 (55%). Despite Young's struggles, the Panthers won this game through strong performances on defense and the running game. Rico Dowdle scored the Panthers' two touchdowns, while the defense held the Packers to one TD and two field goals. Fantasy players who roster Young in superflex leagues can consider starting him against the Saints in Week 10. New Orleans allowed four TD passes to Matthew Stafford in Week 9.

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said on Wednesday that the team is still "sorting through the medical opinions" on quarterback Jayden Daniels' elbow, according to John Keim of ESPN. Daniels suffered a gruesome-looking left elbow dislocation late in the Sunday night blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but initial X-rays came back negative for any fractures. It remains to be seen whether the 24-year-old suffered any ligament damage in his arm, though, and at the very least, it seems likely that the second-year signal-caller will be forced to Injured Reserve, which would require him to miss at least four games. While the Commanders are holding out hope that Daniels might return this year, we wouldn't be surprised if he's shut down the rest of the way. In the meantime, veteran Marcus Mariota will start at QB for a banged-up Commanders offense that also lost receiver Luke McCaffrey to a broken collarbone.
