Who Should I Start? Jeff Driskel or Bryce Young

Tuesday, September 2, 12:55 AM

The Las Vegas Raiders announced that they have signed free agent quarterback Jeff Driskel to their practice squad. The veteran signal caller is now on his ninth NFL team, albeit in a reduced capacity. He spent 2024 with the Washington Commanders but hasn't actually attempted a pass since 2023, when he was a member of the Cleveland Browns. The 32-year-old is expected to offer depth behind Geno Smith and Kenny Pickett (hamstring). Las Vegas also has rookie Cam Miller on its practice squad, but it's unclear whether he or Driskel should be considered the third-string quarterback behind Smith and Pickett. Regardless, it's unlikely Driskel gets into a game anytime soon, and it's even more unlikely that he'll possess any fantasy value. Managers should continue to leave him on waivers.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young completed 31 of his 45 pass attempts for 445 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 11 win over the Atlanta Falcons in overtime. He also took five sacks. Young was banged up in the gritty victory, as he exited twice after a player stepped on his ankle on two different occasions. Both of his departures were brief, though, and he was healthy enough to keep the Panthers in the game before leading a game-winning drive in overtime. Young set a new career-high in passing yards and will look to keep the momentum going against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. The former No. 1 pick has led his team to a 6-5 start with wins in five of the last seven games. Carolina is just half a game out of first place in the NFC South, trailing the 6-4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
