Who Should I Start? Tyler Boyd or Bryce Young

Tuesday, July 1, 12:16 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers reporter Mark Kaboly said on 93.7 The Fan that the team has had talks with free-agent wide receiver Tyler Boyd. It comes a day after Boyd said he's "absolutely" be interested in playing for the Steelers. It's unclear if a formal offer was made to Boyd, but the money that he's been offered around the league this offseason hasn't been in the neighborhood of what he's looking for. The Steelers acquired tight end Jonnu Smith in a trade on Monday with the Miami Dolphins, but they could still use additional receiver depth behind DK Metcalf. As things currently stand, Calvin Austin III is set for WR2 duties with Roman Wilson, Robert Woods, Scotty Miller and Ben Skowronek also on the roster. After eight seasons with the Bengals, Boyd caught 39 passes for 390 yards and no touchdowns in 16 games (eight starts) for Tennessee in 2024.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) is officially listed as inactive for Sunday's tilt against the Buffalo Bills. The former first overall pick suffered this ankle injury during their Week 7 victory over the Jets. Young was unable to practice all week and will set his sights on returning in Week 9 when the Panthers travel to Green Bay to face the Packers. With Young sitting out, veteran QB Andy Dalton is slated to operate as the team's QB1. Last season, Dalton eclipsed at least 20.0 PPR points in three of the four games he logged more than 40 offense snaps. Facing a tougher Bills defense that has allowed the sixth-most PPR points to opposing QBs, Dalton carries low-end QB2 upside.
