Who Should I Start? Drew Lock or Bryce Young

Seattle Seahawks quarterbacks Jalen Milroe and Drew Lock will split the reps in the team's first preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday. Reporters are expecting the two quarterbacks to split half of the game on Thursday as the Seahawks will rest Sam Darnold, along with several other key starters. Offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is also expected to call several QB runs for Milroe when he's in the game against the Raiders, which makes the rookie an interesting choice for preseason DFS contests. Milroe and Lock are battling in training camp to be the backup to Darnold when the regular season opens. If he were to get on the field in 2025, Milroe would be very interesting from a fantasy perspective thanks to his elite rushing upside.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday due to an ankle injury, per ESPN's David Newton. Newton reports that "Young is still day-to-day" and the team "hasn't named a starter" for their Week 8 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Young was forced to exit early from Carolina's Week 7 win over the New York Jets due to the injury. Veteran quarterback Andy Dalton finished Week 7 under center for the Panthers and would be in line to start against the Bills if Young is unable to play. In six games (five starts) for Carolina in 2024, Dalton completed 66.3% of his pass attempts for 989 yards, seven touchdowns, and six interceptions. Fantasy managers should avoid Dalton in Week 8, even in two-quarterback formats.
