Who Should I Start? Jake Browning or Bryce Young

Tuesday, October 7, 11:19 AM

According to Cincinnati Bengals beat writer Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic, the team's internal options at quarterback are "not in consideration" to replace current starter Jake Browning in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers. As such, any potential replacement would have to come from outside the building. In three starts since replacing Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) under center, Browning has thrown for 516 yards, four touchdowns, and five interceptions while leading the team to an 0-3 record. However, it does not appear Cincinnati has confidence in current backup QB Brett Rypien or practice squad QB options Mike White and Sean Clifford. Most likely, Browning will be the signal-caller in a difficult Week 6 matchup against the Packers.

Bryce Young is not worth consideration for fantasy championship lineups in Week 17. In Week 16, Young had two touchdowns while completing 21-of-32 attempts for 191 yards. He totaled 17.6 Fantasy Points against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That performance marked the third consecutive game that Young finished with 15 or more fantasy points. Through 16 games played this season, Young has averaged 14.4 Fantasy Points, and his recent and overall production just isn't enough to help fantasy teams win. In Week 17, the Panthers will face the No. 1 seeded team in the NFC, the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks rank 10th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to QBs this season (14.9). The Carolina QB has only two games with 20+ fantasy points scored this year. He should only be started as a lower-end superflex option.
