Trey Lance Wins the Chargers' Backup Quarterback Job

Sunday, August 30, 7:07 PM

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Trey Lance has made the team's initial 53-man roster, according to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. He won the backup quarterback job behind Justin Herbert after the Chargers released DJ Uiagalelei on Sunday. Lance has seen occasional playing time as a depth option for the Chargers, Cowboys, and 49ers over the last few years, but he hasn't scored a touchdown since his rookie season with the Niners in 2021. He has appeared in just 16 games since being drafted, flashing impressive mobility but never coming close to meeting the expectations that came with being the No. 3 overall pick. The North Dakota State product remains off the fantasy radar in all leagues, and even if he gets thrust into action due to a Herbert injury, he'd still be tough to trust in weekly fantasy lineups.

Bryce Young Should Bounce Back in Week 4

Friday, October 2, 12:30 PM

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has a shot at a bounce-back performance when his team faces the Detroit Lions on Sunday night. The former first-overall draft pick led the league with 939 passing yards after Week 3, but also completed just 54.2% of his passes for 291 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a 21-18 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He was also nursing a knee injury following the loss, but was a full participant at Friday's practice. Week 4 offers a golden opportunity to right the ship, given the Lions have allowed the most passing yards per game (299.3) and the second-most passing touchdowns (9) to start the 2026 season. Young is QB10 in RotoBaller's position ranking, and the upcoming matchup makes him a must-start for Week 4.
