Who Should I Start? Daniel Jones or Bryce Young

Wednesday, July 23, 11:28 AM

The Indianapolis Colts have rotated quarterbacks Anthony Richardson Sr. and Daniel Jones between the first and second teams so far at training camp practice, but Jones has gotten more work with the first-team offense, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. Richardson and Jones are battling for the starting QB job this summer after Richardson missed some spring work due to an aggravation of his surgically repaired right shoulder. Richardson has since been cleared for camp, but the Colts will be mindful of his workload, which should allow Jones to work a little more with the starters. Jones, the former sixth overall pick by the New York Giants in 2019 out of Duke, threw 24 touchdowns as a rookie but was never able to reach that level again in his six years in the Big Apple. Richardson has the much higher fantasy ceiling, but the Colts could opt to go with stability at the position to open the 2025 season.

The Athletic's Joseph Person writes that Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has shown an increased comfort level in his second year in head coach Dave Canales' offensive system, especially when he carved up the first-team defense in the red zone during minicamp. Young's intensity also caught the eyes and ears of media members this offseason. Pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney said that Young needed to play with more energy last year, and the former first overall pick has engaged in trash-talk sessions with cornerback Jaycee Horn. The 23-year-old was pretty bad in his first year and a half, but he looked different down the stretch in 2024 after being benched and threw seven TDs and no picks in his final three games. He's going to need to improve his accuracy and decision-making to take the next step in Year 3, but Young at least showed some signs to give fantasy managers hope that he can be a solid QB2 with upside.
