Bryce Young
2025 Season Outlooks
Young has some sleeper appeal heading into this season, but he's not worth drafting in most one-quarterback leagues. In Superflex and two-quarterback leagues, Young is worth a mid-round pick. In 2024, Young ended the season with three games in a row with at least 20.9 Fantasy points, including two outings over that span with at least 31.1 points. Prior to that, he had one game with more than 20 Fantasy points all season, and he was also benched early in the year for Andy Dalton before getting his job back. This offseason, the Panthers gave Young a first-round rookie receiver in Tetairoa McMillan and two running backs in Rico Dowdle and rookie Trevor Etienne. Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker Chuba Hubbard, and Ja'Tavion Sanders are all back, and hopefully Young will continue to improve heading into Year 3. If he starts off the season playing well then you can add Young in all one-quarterback leagues, and he could prove to be a solid waiver-wire addition during the year.
Young is entering his third NFL season looking to carry over the momentum from a strong finish to 2024. After a tough rookie campaign, the 2023 No. 1 pick was briefly benched last season prior to making a big leap once back in the lineup. Young played 10 full games from Week 8 on and averaged 18.0 fantasy PPG, which would've ranked 10th over the full season. He posted a pair of top-2 fantasy weeks in his final three outings. Young threw multiple passing TDs in each of those final three games, but perhaps most notable was his leap as a rusher (30-208-5 during his final eight games after totaling 294 yards and one TD in his first 22 pro games). Young still has a lot to prove, but the 23-year-old's late-season surge, as well as the arrival of first-round WR Tetairoa McMillan, is enough to make him worth late-round consideration on draft day.
