Who Should I Start? Jeff Driskel or Bryce Young

Sunday, January 26, 1:58 PM

According to the team, Washington Commanders quarterback Jeff Driskel (illness) is listed as the team's emergency quarterback for the NFC Championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Driskel carried a questionable tag on the team's final injury report with an illness. He was unable to practice on Thursday and Friday. The Louisiana Tech product will only be able to enter this contest if both Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota suffer an injury during the game. Driskel logged just one offensive snap for the Commanders this season and did not attempt a pass.

The Athletic's Joseph Person writes that Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has shown an increased comfort level in his second year in head coach Dave Canales' offensive system, especially when he carved up the first-team defense in the red zone during minicamp. Young's intensity also caught the eyes and ears of media members this offseason. Pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney said that Young needed to play with more energy last year, and the former first overall pick has engaged in trash-talk sessions with cornerback Jaycee Horn. The 23-year-old was pretty bad in his first year and a half, but he looked different down the stretch in 2024 after being benched and threw seven TDs and no picks in his final three games. He's going to need to improve his accuracy and decision-making to take the next step in Year 3, but Young at least showed some signs to give fantasy managers hope that he can be a solid QB2 with upside.
