Panthers QB Andy Dalton is expected to start in Week 8 against the Bills.

24 October 2025

Bryce Young (ankle, doubtful) hasn’t officially been ruled out for Sunday’s game, but we can see the writing on the wall here. Young is dealing with a high-ankle sprain he suffered in Week 7’s win over the Jets, and could be at risk of missing more than just one game. With Young set to be ruled out at some point before kickoff, the Panthers will pivot to Andy Dalton, who has thrown for 118 yards and one touchdown on 13 pass attempts. Dalton will have some appeal in 2QB/superflex leagues but shouldn’t be trusted in 1QB formats.
