The Carolina Panthers will face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 16. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding QB Bryce Young.
Is Bryce Young Playing in Week 16?
Young is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any unexpected setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

Should You Start or Sit Bryce Young in Week 16?
The 83-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Coker under duress was good to see, but on 14 other pressured dropbacks against Dallas, Young produced one (1) passing yard.
Over the past month or so, we seem to get breadcrumbs when it comes to a positive profile, but nothing substantial enough to have my interest in any capacity for the remainder of this season. Case in point: Young hit Micah Parsons — unofficially a top-three most scary player on a football field these days — with a spin move last week, and it worked!
He then finished the run with a lost fumble.
That’s pretty much Young’s career arc up to this point. I’ll be paying attention in the offseason, not in the current times with no room for error in the fantasy playoffs.
