2024 Season Outlooks

Young finished 30th in Fantasy points per game as a rookie behind the likes of Zach Wilson and Aidan O'Connell. In 2024, his outlook has changed due to the significant investment the Panthers made to surround Young with more help. For starters, the Panthers hired Dave Canales to run the offense fresh off the job he did in Tampa reviving Baker Mayfield and generating a playoff-caliber offense. They upgraded the offensive line with the signings of Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis in free agency and they traded up into Round 1 to draft WR Xavier Legette. Young has looked good early in OTAs, but he still projects as a QB who should not be on your radar in one-QB leagues and only as a high-upside QB3 or back-end QB2 in Superflex and two-QB leagues.

Young enters his second NFL season looking for a big leap forward after a rough rookie campaign. The Panthers ranked last in passing yards, total yards and points scored last season, leaving Young with a 23rd-place finish among QBs in fantasy points. Year 2 tends to be the breakout age for many quarterbacks, so hope remains, especially considering Young added some value with his legs (10th among QBs in rushing yards) and, more importantly, he has a new coaching staff (Dave Canales led Baker Mayfield to his best season in 2023) and better supporting cast (Diontae Johnson, Xavier Legette, Jonathon Brooks). Young may not join the fantasy elite in 2024, but progress is likely and he's well worth late-round consideration.
