Bryce Young News

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.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) is not expected to play in Week 3's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Young missed practice again on Thursday and is not expected to play on Sunday, according to the team. With Young sidelined, Andy Dalton will be under center against Seattle. Young struggled with his accuracy in Weeks 1 and 2, and the switch to Dalton could result in more catchable passes for Adam Thielen, Jonathan Mingo, D.J. Chark, Laviska Shenault, and any other potential Carolina pass-catchers. The Panthers are 6.5-point underdogs against Seattle in Week 3. Their implied team total of 17.75 points is tied for the second-lowest team total on Sunday's main slate, according to numberFire's DFS Heat Map.

Chark, Laviska Shenault, and any other potential pass-catcher on the Panthers. Young ($6,400) is the QB25 in numberFire's Week 3 rankings and our models project him for 14.6 FanDuel points, with 221.8 passing yards, 1.11 passing touchdowns, 0.7 interceptions, and 15.5 rushing yards.
