Who Should I Start? Tyrod Taylor or Bryce Young

Friday, December 12, 12:26 PM

New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor (groin) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post. Taylor injured his groin early in last week's loss to the Miami Dolphins and was unable to practice this week. Justin Fields (knee) has also been ruled out for a second straight week, leaving rookie Brady Cook to make his first NFL start this weekend in Jacksonville. The Jets will also be without rookie tight end Mason Taylor (neck), leaving Cook with limited options against the first-place Jags. Taylor, who had taken over for Fields as the starter under center, will try to make his way back for a Week 16 date with the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Dec. 21. Avoiding all of the Jets' offensive skill players this weekend is probably a good strategy in fantasy in Week 15.

Bryce Young led the Panthers to a shocking 31-28 upset win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 13 before the bye. In that game, Young logged 22.5 fantasy points with three passing touchdowns. He also completed 15-of-20 attempts for 206 passing yards. Young is one of the more inconsistent QBs in the league this season. Through his last three games, he registered over 20 fantasy points twice. In his previous five starts, he finished with less than 11 fantasy points three times. Carolina will face the New Orleans Saints for the second time this year in Week 15. New Orleans ranks 11th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to QBs this season. In Week 10 against the Saints, Young finished with 124 passing yards and 2.6 fantasy points, his lowest total in a single game this season. Due to his inconsistency throughout the year and his performance vs. the Saints in the last matchup, Young cannot be trusted to help teams in the opening round of the fantasy football playoffs.
