Who Should I Start? Daniel Jones or Bryce Young

Indianapolis Colts quarterbacks Anthony Richardson (back) and Daniel Jones are splitting repetitions during organized team activities this week, according to The Athletic's James Boyd. Richardson missed the last two games of the 2024 season due to a back injury, but he's fully recovered now and is in a full-on competition for the starting gig under center in 2025 with Jones. The splitting of reps between Richardson and Jones is expected to continue into training camp this summer. The 23-year-old Richardson, the former fourth overall pick in 2023 out of Florida, was a massive disappointment in his sophomore season. He made only 11 starts due to injury while also being benched in favor of Joe Flacco. There's no question that Richardson has elite rushing upside, but he'll need to improve as a passer to beat Jones out and serve as a QB2 with upside in fantasy this year.

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan said that quarterback Bryce Young told head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan that the team needed to draft him. Young vouched for McMillan, and the Panthers listed and selected the 22-year-old Arizona product with the eighth overall pick of the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday night. The 6-foot-4 pass-catcher excels on contested catches down the field and should immediately be a starter in three-wide sets for the team in 2025 next to Xavier Legette and veteran Adam Thielen. McMillan will give Young a wide catch radius, but there are questions about how much separation he will be able to get on a consistent basis at the next level. If it's true that Young was adamant about the team drafting McMillan, the two could quickly form a strong connection that helps McMillan become fantasy relevant in Year 1.
