Fantasy Impact:
Young's benching does not directly affect most fantasy managers due to his low roster percentage. While the Panthers have hit rock bottom, Dalton offers a sliver of hope for Carolina's fantasy assets. Diontae Johnson, Xavier Legette, and Adam Thielen should benefit as pass catchers. Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders may offer a slight boost in fantasy production, but not enough to trust them fully. Ultimately, things will depend on Dalton's performance. The former TCU Horned Frog has plenty of experience and should bring a more functional offense. In Dalton's lone start in 2023, he scored 23.5 fantasy points, finishing as the QB7 overall; but don't expect that from Dalton in Week 3.
