Having an elite quarterback is key not only for NFL teams but also for fantasy football managers. But, sometimes managers have to rely on less talented quarterbacks as well due to injuries or bye weeks and that could be the case in Week 10.
Mac Jones and Bryce Young fit in that description, and ahead of Week 10, which quarterback is the better option for fantasy managers?
Is Bryce Young a good fantasy pick?
Bryce Young has struggled this season and there are much better fantasy options. However, Young is back as the Panthers starting quarterback, as Carolina goes to Germany to play the New York Giants.

A knock on Young is the turnovers, as he's thrown six interceptions in six games.
Is Mac Jones a good fantasy pick?
The Jacksonville Jaguars will likely start Mac Jones at quarterback in Week 10 as Trevor Lawrence is dealing with a shoulder injury on his non-throwing arm.
The Jaguars play the Minnesota Vikings at home on Sunday, which could be a good spot for Jones. The Vikings' pass defense has been a major issue, as Minnesota is allowing 272.87 passing yards per game.
With Jones likely stepping in for the start, Jacksonville could rely heavily on the run which could impact his fantasy projections.
Bryce Young or Mac Jones: Who Should I Start?
Sportskeeda's fantasy start/sit optimizer suggests that fantasy managers should start Bryce Young over Mac Jones.
The tool has Young going for 10.6 fantasy points, while Jones should have 9.3 points.
The tool projects Young to throw for 177.1 yards and an interception. He is unlikely to throw for a touchdown. He'll also rush for just over 15 yards.
Jones, meanwhile, is projected to throw for just 154.3 yards and isn't projected to throw for a touchdown or an interception.
Ultimately, the tool suggests starting Young over Jones, but there are much better quarterback options available.
