Who Should I Start? Davis Mills or Bryce Young

Thursday, November 27, 12:30 PM

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills has filled in nicely over the last three games with C.J. Stroud sidelined with a concussion. Mills has led the team to three wins, going 69-for-116 passing (59.5%) for 719 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception while also carrying the ball seven times for 38 yards and another score on the ground. He threw for over 250 yards in his first two starts, and he's tossed two TDs in two of his three starts. While the 27-year-old's fantasy stock has been on the rise as a short-term QB2 option in superflex leagues, he could be headed back to the bench this weekend when the team takes on the division-rival Indianapolis Colts on the road. Stroud remains in the league's concussion protocol, but he's practicing in full and is on track to be cleared to play this Sunday. If Stroud is cleared, Mills will head back to the bench in Week 13 and for the remainder of the season.

Bryce Young is not worthy of consideration for fantasy lineups in Week 13. In Week 12, the Carolina QB logged 10.3 fantasy points and one passing touchdown. He also completed 18-for-29 attempts for 169 passing yards and threw two interceptions. In the past four weeks, Young scored less than 11 fantasy points in three games and surpassed 200 passing yards only once. Carolina faces the Los Angeles Rams in Week 13. The Rams rank fifth in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to QBs this season. The Rams' pass defense has also registered 12 interceptions, which is the third-most in the league. Due to the unfavorable matchup against Los Angeles and underwhelming fantasy totals on the year, Young should be benched in all formats. Fantasy players should consider an alternative if available in Superflex leagues.
