Bryce Young announced as Panthers’ ‘QB1’

According to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team, Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich confirmed that top-pick rookie QB Bryce Young is the team’s “QB1.”

Fantasy Impact

This was fully expected to be the truth eventually, but it was uncertain if Young would start Week 1 or if Andy Dalton would see the field first. Young will get the chance to develop on the field early in his career as the Panthers enter a new phase for the franchise. Dalton will play the backup QB role. Young’s average draft position is QB19.

Anthony Richardson works with second team Wednesday

First-round rookie QB Anthony Richardson ran with the second-team offense on Day 1 of the Indianapolis Colts’ training camp on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Richardson, only a one-season starter at QB for the Florida Gators, is still relatively inexperienced at the position compared to his 2023 NFL Draft contemporaries. As a result, the Colts may take it slower with Richardson, a toolsy, high-upside quarterback, to avoid building any bad habits early in his career. Richardson’s athleticism and size will make him a dual threat when he does get on the field. He is going on average as the QB1 in fantasy rookie drafts.

Marvin Mims suffers injury while training prior to camp

Marvin Mims suffered an injury while training ahead of training camp, but should be a full-go in four-to-five days, per Broncos’ head coach Sean Payton.

Fantasy Impact

Mims has a chance to carve out a role in three wide receiver sets if he is able to develop chemistry with Russell Wilson. While there was no specifics given on the nature of the injury, it appears the 21-year-old rookie will not miss to much time at the start of training camp.
