Bryce Young, QB, Carolina Panthers
Admittedly, having backed Bryce Young during the offseason, I’d begun to give up on the Carolina Panthers quarterback after some dismal performances. Young has the talent to be an NFL quarterback, but he has looked more like the nervous liability he was as a rookie than the leader he was down the stretch last year.
However, after a messy start to Week 5, Young inspired an unlikely comeback win over the Arizona Cardinals, making several clutch plays in the process. He looked far more confident, and the Panthers’ offense grew in confidence along with him.
I’m still not 100% back in on Young, and even his late comeback wasn’t enough to make an impact in 1QB fantasy leagues. However, with renewed confidence and some returning weapons to throw to (Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker, Ja’Tavion Sanders), I’d be willing to take a shot on him as my QB2 in Super Flex.
Given his low cost, he is a low-risk addition with massive potential upside if he can rediscover his form from late 2024.
C.J. Stroud, QB, Houston Texans
Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud ended Sunday as the QB1 overall on the week after throwing four touchdown passes against the Ravens. The Texans demolished Baltimore by 44 points to 10, leaving the Ravens 1-4 for only the second time since their relocation from Cleveland in 1996.
Stroud’s real-life talent has often failed to translate into fantasy production, but his name value is still substantial, which should make trading him away slightly easier this week. That’s even though he has finished outside the top-12 quarterbacks every other week and outside the top 22 in three of the first four weeks of the year.
The Texans’ offense has been poor this season, and they have far tougher matchups following their Week 6 bye. Stroud was the 29th-ranked quarterback in PFSN’s QB Impact metric heading into Week 5; the Texans’ offense ranks 19th in Offense Impact, despite their win over Baltimore.
If you can get low-end QB1, or even high-end QB2 value for the Texans star, you might want to cash in while you can.
