Fantasy Football Highlights: Panthers 0 - Jets 27

Game Summary: The Carolina Panthers had a rough preseason debut as their top pick, Bryce Young, struggled to find his footing. Young completed only 4 of 6 passes for a measly 21 yards, and the Panthers were shut out 27-0 by the New York Jets. The Jets' defense dominated the game, sacking Panthers quarterbacks five times and holding Carolina to just 165 yards of total offense. Despite the lackluster performance, Young remained optimistic, calling his first NFL preseason start a "dream come true."

McAlister's Deli Quick Bites: - Israel Abanikanda (floridamans): The rookie running back had a solid outing, rushing for 37 yards on six carries. Abanikanda showcased his power and determination on a 26-yard run where he dragged a defender for the final 5 yards before being taken down near the goal line. Keep an eye on him as a potential fantasy pickup. - Aaron Rodgers (riskybiznesss): The star quarterback was once again sidelined, as the Jets chose to rest him for the second straight preseason game. Fantasy owners will have to wait a little longer to see Rodgers in action with his new team.

Free Agent Spotlight: One player who stood out in this game was Tim Boyle, the Jets' third-string quarterback. After throwing an interception, Boyle bounced back and threw touchdown passes to tight ends EJ Jenkins and Zack Kuntz. He finished the game 9 of 10 for 84 yards and could be a potential free agent pickup in deeper fantasy leagues.

Next Games: The Jets will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday night, hoping to continue their strong preseason performance. Meanwhile, the Panthers will visit the New York Giants on Friday night, aiming to bounce back from their disappointing loss.
