Who Should I Start? Davis Mills or Bryce Young

Wednesday, September 4, 9:12 AM

Houston Texans backup quarterback Davis Mills has signed a one-year contract extension according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The deal features $5 million per year in new money and keeps Mills with the Texans through 2025. There are also playing time incentives written into the contract extension. The 2021 third-round pick is locked in as the backup to C.J. Stroud and the new extension provides a bit of job security in the near future. This shouldn't have fantasy implications unless something were to happen to Stroud.

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said that quarterback Bryce Young will start the final three games of the 2024 regular season. "Bryce is going to finish the season for us," Canales said. Young took a step back in the Week 15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, but the Panthers have no reason to go back to veteran Andy Dalton while out of playoff contention. The 23-year-old second-year signal-caller got off to a terrible start in 2024 and was benched after two games in favor of Dalton, who gave the club a spark initially. Eventually, Dalton got injured, forcing the Panthers to go back to Young. In his last seven starts, Young has taken a step forward, completing 60.6% of his passes for 1,492 yards, eight touchdowns and six interceptions while also running for two scores. Still, he turned the ball over four times last Sunday and has only one passing touchdown in each of the last six games.
