Starting with Bryce Young and the Panthers
For this stack, I paired Bryce Young with Chuba Hubbard and Adam Thielen. Hubbard is involved in both the run and pass game, making him a versatile option regardless of game script. Thielen is the most reliable pass-catcher for Young, and this double-stack creates synergy in my lineup.
Hubbard’s pass-catching role ensures he’s viable even if the Panthers fall behind. Combined with Thielen’s consistent target share, this stack gives a solid foundation for the lineup.
Value Defense: Cleveland Browns
To free up some salary, I went with the Browns defense. It is priced at just $2,200 and faces a Chiefs offense that has sputtered a bit recently. Playing at home in Cleveland, the Browns provide enough upside at this price to warrant inclusion.
Roster Considerations: Derrick Henry vs. Value Plays
While Derrick Henry has a favorable matchup against the Giants and a rushing line around 101.5 yards, his $8,300 salary makes him a tough fit without significant passing-game involvement. Instead of locking in Henry, I opted for value plays that open up the mid-range of the lineup.
Running Back: Chase Brown and Rico Dowdle
Chase Brown has stepped into a leading role for the Bengals, who are clinging to their playoff hopes. As a 5-point favorite against a struggling Titans team, Brown projects for heavy usage at a reasonable price.
Rico Dowdle from the Cowboys is another excellent value. At $6,100, Dowdle has been averaging over 20 touches per game, including consistent involvement in the passing game. With the Cowboys facing the Panthers, Dowdle makes for a strong run-back option in this game stack.
Wide Receiver and Tight End Options
For wide receiver, my focus shifted to some mid-range options like Calvin Ridley and Marvin Harrison Jr., who are consistently delivering strong performances. Jerry Jeudy also remains in play at $6,200 due to his steady target share and unchanged salary.
At tight end, I considered Hunter Henry as a cheap, high-upside option, along with Trey McBride, who has become a target monster. If Cedric Tillman remains out, David Njoku is another viable pick due to his elevated role in the Browns passing game.
Example Lineups
Here’s how the final construction could look based on this Panthers stack, with evaluation from Stokastic’s Single-Lineup Simulator:
- QB: Bryce Young
- RB: Chuba Hubbard
- RB: Rico Dowdle
- WR: Adam Thielen
- WR: Zay Flowers
- WR: Ladd McConkey
- TE: Trey McBride
