Panthers Elevate Mike White From Practice Squad

Thursday, October 30, 11:50 AM

Per the team, the Carolina Panthers have signed veteran quarterback Mike White from the practice squad to the active roster. Offensive lineman Brady Christensen (Achilles) was placed on IR in a corresponding move. Fortunately, Bryce Young (ankle) got in a full practice on Wednesday. However, that wasn't the case for teammate Andy Dalton (thumb). The 38-year-old picked up a thumb injury, presumably in Carolina's loss to Buffalo in Week 8, that kept him from practicing altogether. White's addition to the roster is likely just precautionary, as Young appears on track to play after a promising start to the week. Still, if Dalton trends in the wrong direction, it'll be White backing up Young when the team takes on the hosting Green Bay Packers this Sunday.

Justin Herbert Nightmare Season Could Get Worse in Week 4 vs. Seahawks

Saturday, October 3, 5:12 AM

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has had a rough start to his 2026 campaign and will face his toughest defense yet on Sunday. In three games, Herbert has yet to throw for over 250 passing yards or multiple touchdown passes in a single game. Herbert and the Chargers will head to Seattle to face the reigning Super Bowl champions, who have the league's most feared defense. The Seahawks' defense has allowed the fewest passing yards while forcing the most interceptions (4) this season. As a result, Herbert enters Week 4 as RotoBaller's QB26 and shouldn't be in fantasy lineups. Herbert has yet to surpass 15 fantasy points in a game this year and has thrown more interceptions than touchdown passes. The 28-year-old is a risky superflex play at best, and better quarterback streaming options are available on the waiver wire in Week 4.
