Quarterback
Bryce Young - Carolina Panthers $5-$10 FAAB
For the last month, I’ve been telling you that Bryce Young is different this year. Since Week 9 last season, Bryce Young has averaged 21.6 fantasy points per game. He’s currently second in the league in passing yards, behind the other guy I’ve been telling you about, Tyler Shough. This week, the Panthers travel to Cleveland to take on the Browns. After scoring over 30 points each of the first two weeks, I expect Bryce Young to keep impressing fantasy managers.
Honorable Mentions
Tyler Shough is owned in about 50% of ESPN and Sleeper leagues; if he’s still out there, adding the league’s passing leader is never a bad idea. Drew Lock has taken over for Sam Darnold and has been impressive. Throwing to Jaxon Smith-Njigba makes Lock a great option in 2 QB leagues. Kirk Cousins has led the Las Vegas Raiders to a 2-0 start and scored over 20 points in each of the first two weeks of the season.
Running Backs
Emmanuel Wilson - Seattle Seahawks $10-$15 FAAB
If you need a long-term solution, Wilson won’t fix your problem. Emmanuel Wilson saw 21 carries after Jadarian Price left the game Sunday. He ran for 92 yards and saw 1 target. If Jadarian Price spends any amount of time on the injury report, Wilson should be rostered and considered a flex option. If later this week Jadarian Price is expected to play, Wilson’s FAAB price should drop from $10-$15 to $2-$5.
