The Panthers ruled out WRs Diontae Johnson (rib) and WR Adam Thielen (hamstring), while QB Andy Dalton (right thumb) is doubtful.

So it'll be Bryce Young throwing to backup receivers on Sunday in Denver.

It's probably not a good idea to start any Panthers players this week, and that likely includes Chuba Hubbard.

Panthers QB Andy Dalton was involved in a automobile accident today in Charlotte, according to a team spokesperson.

He was traveling with his wife, three children and dog. No one was transported by emergency medic personnel, but Dalton is being evaluated by team medical personnel, the post went on to say. Obviously we all hope it's not a serious situation, but from a fantasy angle, if Dalton can't play Young would get the start at QB.

There wasn’t much suspense about who will be starting at quarterback for the Panthers in Week 4, but head coach Dave Canales made an announcement at his Monday press conference anyway.

“Andy Dalton is our quarterback. He gives us the best chance to win,” Canales said. “That’s the approach as we get ready for the Bengals.”

Andy Dalton was 26-of-37 for 319 yards and three touchdowns in Carolina’s 36-22 win over the Raiders in Las Vegas. That was a huge leap up from what the Panthers did on offense with Young running the offense in back-to-back losses to open the season. Even better, fantasy owners of Chuba Hubbard and Diontea Johnson saw signs of life from those players.

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, the Panthers are benching Bryce Young to start Andy Dalton — beginning with this week’s matchup against the Raiders.

As the story said, after the Week 2 loss HC Dave Canales said, "Bryce is our quarterback." But as the story added, Young has looked overmatched so far this season after struggling to a 2-14 mark last year. Young has completed just 55.4 percent of his throws for 245 yards with three interceptions. His passer rating is 44.1 and he’s averaging just 4.4 yards per attempt. As for Dalton, he's 36 and likely won't be considered a must-acquire fantasy target. But, he will have some weapons to work with in Diontae Johsnon, Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, so he may have some value in deeper superflex leagues.

Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) is off the injury report and is good to go Sunday vs. the Vikings.

The prevailing sentiment was that the Panthers would give Young a little more time to recover after veteran Andy Dalton eclipsed his two-game yardage total in one fell swoop, but it looks as if they are going to get the rookie back out there. He should not be started in any but the deepest Superflex fantasy leagues.

Panthers QB Bryce Young was a full participant in practice today, a good sign he’s ready to return to the field despite an ankle injury.

Bad news for fellow sickos who were considering paying way down for Andy Dalton in DFS matchups. The prevailing thought was that the team would ease Young back from his injury after he looked absolutely overwhelmed on an NFL field through two weeks of the season, but here we are. If he is cleared to play, keep him on your fantasy benches.

Bryce Young officially ruled OUT Sunday vs. Seahawks. Andy Dalton will start.

Panthers HC Frank Reich said doctors expect Bryce Young to miss a week or two with a sprained ankle.

Bryce Young hasn't been the sharpest through his first two starts of his NFL career, so it's hard to call this a major downgrade for the Panthers fantasy pieces. Adam Thielen remains a decent enough Flex play, while Hayden Hurst is in the conversation as a top-20 tight end.

Panthers’ QB Andy Dalton is now expected to start Sunday at Seattle.

For a second straight day, Panthers’ rookie QB Bryce Young will not practice due to his ankle injury. Panthers’ QB Andy Dalton is now tracking to start Sunday at Seattle.

It's still early in the week, so we'll keep an eye on this, but it's just one more negative bit of news about a Panthers offense that already looks lost. In the deepest of deep Superflex leagues, feel free to go grab Andy Dalton.
