Who Should I Start? Daniel Jones or Bryce Young

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) underwent surgery to repair his Achilles, which will sideline him for six to eight months. This should give Jones the ability to get fully cleared in time for training camp next summer. Jones is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but the two sides have reportedly not been discussing a contract extension. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Colts are expected to try to re-sign Jones, but the question is at what cost. Before going down in Week 14, Jones was experiencing a bounce-back season. The 28-year-old threw for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, eight interceptions, while rushing for 164 yards on 45 rushing attempts and five scores over 13 games in 2025.

Bryce Young is not worth consideration for fantasy championship lineups in Week 17. In Week 16, Young had two touchdowns while completing 21-of-32 attempts for 191 yards. He totaled 17.6 Fantasy Points against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That performance marked the third consecutive game that Young finished with 15 or more fantasy points. Through 16 games played this season, Young has averaged 14.4 Fantasy Points, and his recent and overall production just isn't enough to help fantasy teams win. In Week 17, the Panthers will face the No. 1 seeded team in the NFC, the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks rank 10th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to QBs this season (14.9). The Carolina QB has only two games with 20+ fantasy points scored this year. He should only be started as a lower-end superflex option.
