Bryce Young's Week 1 struggles spark benching talk, but the piece argues patience over punishment; Carolina should not bail on him after one tough opener, especially with a clearer path to development ahead. The takeaway for fantasy managers: lean into growth and wait for a sturdier supporting cast.

Week 1's misfires stem from more than Young's arm—snaps, drops, and a leaky line. The article notes benching won't fix development and could derail it. It emphasizes the Panthers' surrounding talent and coaches must help him unlock ceiling upside as the season unfolds.

Fantasy takeaway remains bullish on Young if the line and receivers stabilize; monitor Week 2 health and target adoption to gauge midseason upside rather than overreact to a single game.
