Who Should I Start? Bryce Young or Keon Coleman

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young went 25-for-34 with 251 yards and three scores during their overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons. He added 24 yards and two touchdowns on five rushing attempts. This was his best performance of his young NFL career. After having a quiet first quarter, Young was able to punch in a five-yard score with his legs and threw a 33-yard TD pass to Miles Sanders in the second frame. In the third quarter, he found tight end Tommy Tremble and wide receiver David Moore on a 21-yard and nine-yard TD pass respectively. Then in the fourth quarter, Young tallied his second rushing score of the afternoon, this time from ten yards out. The former first-overall pick would then lead the Panthers to a game-winning drive in overtime which was capped off by a Miles Sanders TD run. Despite his struggles last season and at the start of this season, Young has begun to turn the corner. During Weeks 12 through 17, Young averaged a solid 22.0 PPR points per game and will carry some solid momentum into the offseason.

Fantasy managers using Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman this week better hope his receptions are of the downfield variety. He's not catching many passes. The rookie has logged one, one, three, and two receptions in the four weeks since his return from a wrist injury. While one of those catches went for 64 yards and he scored on another, Coleman has been more of a miss than a hit. If he can avoid matchups with star Denver cornerback Pat Surtain II, he may have a downfield look or two. That's about all fantasy managers can hang their hat on if using the second-round pick in fantasy lineups.
