Bryce Young (ankle) officially out Week 3 for Panthers
What it means:
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) is officially out for Week 3 against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
Young is reportedly not expected to miss more than 1-2 games. Andy Dalton will start for the Panthers in a plus matchup and he could be a slight upgrade for Adam Thielen, Jonathan Mingo, D.J. Chark, Laviska Shenault, and any other potential pass-catcher on the Panthers. Jake Luton will likely be Dalton's backup on Sunday.
Dalton ($6,200) is the QB25 in numberFire's Week 3 rankings and our models project him for 14.4 FanDuel points, with 236.0 passing yards, 1.14 passing touchdowns, 0.8 interceptions, and 8.5 rushing yards. The Seahawks have the third-worst adjusted pass defense in the NFL through two weeks, according to numberFire’s metrics.
