Is Bryce Young Playing in Week 15?

We’ll continue to monitor the Panthers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Young in Week 15?
Young threw three touchdown passes (two on fourth downs) against the Rams in Week 13, his fourth game with a TD hat trick through the air this season.
We love that, but it’s impossible to overlook the floor when we are talking about the highest scoring position in our game. Those three-touchdown efforts have been more than offset by seven games with one or fewer TD tosses, and the rushing production isn’t nearly consistent enough to put him anywhere close to our radar in one-QB formats.
The progression here is slow. Young looked better last year than his rookie season, and I think there have been strides taken this year, but not nearly enough in this era of highly consistent signal callers.
There is talent on this roster, and that’ll keep Young on the QB2 radar (this week, the rest of this season, and next season), but that’s the extent of my interest in the 24-year-old.
