Who Should I Start? Teddy Bridgewater or Bryce Young

Wednesday, November 26, 1:00 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said on Wednesday that quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will get most of the practice reps this week to prepare him in case Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is unable to play on Sunday against the visiting Arizona Cardinals, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Mayfield has a chance to play in Week 13 after suffering a mild AC joint sprain in his left (non-throwing) shoulder in the Sunday night loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but nothing is certain. The 33-year-old Bridgewater went 8-for-15 passing for 62 yards after taking over for the injured Mayfield on Sunday. He'll have a much better matchup against Arizona with time to prepare this weekend if he makes his first start of the season, but Bridgewater should still be considered a low-upside QB2 streamer, at best, in superflex leagues if he gets the nod.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has a chance to get his team to the playoffs, as he looks to bounce back from a rough outing last week against the Seahawks. He only managed 54 passing yards and also threw an interception in tough weather conditions in his team's Week 17 home loss. The 8-8 Panthers can still win the division, though, if they knock off the Buccaneers in Tampa on Saturday afternoon. Carolina will also make the playoffs even with a loss if the Falcons beat the Saints on Sunday. Young and the Panthers just faced and beat the Bucs in Week 16, with the QB throwing for two touchdowns and 191 yards in the 23-20 victory. On the season, Young has 21 touchdowns and 10 interceptions while averaging 183 passing yards per game. If he can duplicate his Week 16 performance, he is a streaming option in two-QB leagues, although the tough matchup on the road keeps him from being a strong play in single-QB formats.
