Panthers Name Bryce Young The Starting QB

Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich made it clear on Wednesday that rookie quarterback Bryce Young is the team's starting QB early in training camp. The No. 1 overall pick in this year's NFL draft was going to be named the Week 1 starter sooner or later this summer, and the Panthers are making abundantly clear early in camp that the 22-year-old is their guy in 2023. Young has worked with the first-team offense since the start of organized team activities this spring, so this announcement shouldn't come as a total surprise. Veteran Andy Dalton will be the backup. Young will continue to build chemistry with his receivers in camp. While he has plenty of long-term upside, fantasy managers should expect the Alabama product to have his growing pains with a receiving corps that includes DJ Chark, Adam Thielen and Terrace Marshall Jr.
