Who Should I Start? Deebo Samuel Sr. or Bryce Young

Sunday, September 7, 7:40 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. caught seven of his 10 targets for 77 yards during Sunday's Week 1 win over the New York Giants. He also added a 19-yard rushing touchdown. On a team with several weapons on the offensive side of the ball, it was intriguing to see Samuel emerge as the top contributor. He had 14 more scrimmage yards than Jacory Croskey-Merritt, five more receptions than Terry McLaurin, and twice as many targets as Zach Ertz. Given his prominent role, Samuel should be trusted as a low-end WR2 heading into Thursday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young received a vote of confidence from wide receiver Adam Thielen after the veteran pass-catcher was traded to the Minnesota Vikings last week. "He's a great quarterback," Thielen said of Young. "You saw that at the end of last year." He also proceeded to commend Young for overcoming periodic struggles last season and returning to inject some life into the Panthers' offense near the end of the year. If that carries over into 2025, Young has the potential to be a mid-range fantasy QB2 while the Panthers could sneak into the Wild Card conversation.
