Will Grier Fantasy

Carolina Panthers quarterback Will Grier failed to throw a touchdown during the loss to the Colts on Sunday but had no issues turning the ball over, either, as he ended the day with three interceptions. The rookie also logged 224 yards and did so while completing just 61.4 percent of his passes. Hopes were high for Grier after the team opted to name him the starter over Kyle Allen heading into this one, however, he didn't begin his career on a good note. With the team having nothing left to play for, he will likely get another chance to prove his worth in his first start at home against the Saints in Week 17.

Carolina Panthers interim head coach Perry Fewell confirmed on Thursday that rookie quarterback Will Grier will start in Week 16 against the Colts. The expectation earlier this week was that the Panthers would give Grier the keys to the offense for the final two weeks, and now that is confirmed. With nothing to play for, Carolina will get a better read on the rookie quarterback. Grier will be a desperation QB2 in the fantasy finals this week, and you should expect him to struggle against Indianapolis. His presence under center doesn't help receivers D.J. Moore or Curtis Samuel at all.

The Carolina Panthers are expected to make a quarterback change in Week 16 against the Colts. Rookie third round pick Will Grier is expected to get the start while Kyle Allen will head to the bench as Grier's backup. The move isn't official and hasn't been announced by the team yet, but the move has been anticipated by Ian Rapoport and his sources. There isn't a ton of fantasy relevance to the change at quarterback. Allen was very inconsistent and turnover-prone during his stint as the starter, but it's hard to know if Grier will be similar or a bit more conservative at this point.
