Fringe Starting Potential For Cooper Rush

Saturday, October 4, 1:54 PM

Baltimore Ravens backup quarterback Cooper Rush is a fringe QB2/Superflex option with his team taking on the Houston Texans in Week 5. The veteran is filling in for the injured Lamar Jackson (hamstring) for what has been a highly effective offense, but obviously is not a 1:1 replacement for Jackson's part in the running game. Additionally, Rush will have a tough matchup, as Houston's defense is leading the NFL in scoring percentage (19%) by a significant margin and has been particularly hard on fantasy quarterbacks, allowing the second fewest points. Baltimore's offense has enough talent to give Rush a chance on Sunday, but only fantasy managers in deeper, two-QB formats should be considering him as a lineup option.

Bryce Young Offers QB2 Value

Friday, October 3, 6:16 PM

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young hasn't been able to find much success early in the season. Young posted a 328-yard performance in Week 2, but has been quiet outside of that. In his other three games, Young has been held to 154 passing yards or less. The Panthers offense isn't clicking right now, but they do get a favorable matchup in Week 5. They'll go up against the shaky Miami Dolphins secondary this weekend. Sadly, this offense doesn't have the weapons to get the job done on a consistent basis. Young will offer low-end QB2 value for this weekend.
