2025 Fantasy Outlook
Young improved somewhat in his second year, though it took an early season benching before he turned things around. He got back into the starting lineup Week 8 only because Andy Dalton was hurt but played well enough to hold onto the job. In the final three games, Young threw seven TD passes and no interceptions, with three rushing scores. In that span, he had more TD passes of 20-plus yards (three) than he did in his other 11 games (two). Young's accuracy, though, didn't really improve on the whole, and his on-target percentage for the season was 67.2 -- only Anthony Richardson's was lower -- while his completion percentage was 60.9 (33rd), a scant percentage point better than in his rookie season. The Panthers hope to build on the late-season success, of course, and drafted WR Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to help Young. He needs more help. The 6-foot-4, 219-pound McMillan has good speed for his size and should immediately become the No. 1 receiver, but otherwise the Panthers' WR room is quite bare. Adam Thielen, 35, looks like the No. 2 option, after undrafted Jalen Coker outplayed 2024 first-round pick Xavier Legette during their rookie season. The Panthers at least have a respectable offensive line, but their overall roster remains among the worst in the league, making it an uphill battle for Young to even sniff QB1 fantasy status.

Modest output in loss
Young completed 15 of 24 passes for 163 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints. He added seven rushes for 49 yards.
ANALYSIS
As has been the case for much of the season, the Panthers were content to rely on the ground game to power their offense. That limited Young to 25 or fewer pass attempts for the sixth time in his last eight matchups, though he did a solid job pushing the ball down the field when called upon. Young's performance was highlighted by a 32-yard touchdown pass that hit Jalen Coker in stride down the right sideline, and he also tacked on three additional completions of at least 20 yards. Despite the positives, Young has been held below 200 passing yards in all but three games this season, and he now has one or fewer touchdowns in four of the team's last six games.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
The No. 1 pick in last year’s draft, Young had a rough welcome to the NFL. He finished at or near the bottom of nearly every passing category last season, including in yards per attempt where his 5.5 mark was the lowest in the league in a decade. Young was not just inaccurate, but he rarely attempted to stretch the field. Only 7.2 percent of his throws went longer than 20 yards, 29th in the league. When he did go deep, he struggled -- only Mac Jones had a lower completion percentage on downfield passes than Young’s 22.8 percent. Young lacks a signature trait -- he doesn’t have a big arm, doesn’t run much (four designed runs for zero yards) and he’s just 5-10 — but the Panthers didn't exactly help matters last season. They failed to surround him with talent, and the scheme was so futile it cost head coach Frank Reich his job after Week 12. Former Buccaneers offensive coordinator Dave Canales was hired to do for Young what he did for Baker Mayfield last year. Canales plans to use play-action and bootlegs to keep Young upright after 62 sacks last year, in addition to getting the ball out more quickly. The Panthers traded for WR Diontae Johnson, drafted WR Xavier Legette at No. 32 overall and signed a pair of starting guards, ensuring Young will have at least a little more help than he did last year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to have option picked up
Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano of ESPN.com expect the Panthers to pick up Young's fifth-year option for the 2027 season.
ANALYSIS
Young has progressed substantially after initially looking like a bust, but the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft still struggles to produce sustained stretches of strong play, and he has exceeded 206 passing yards only twice in 12 starts in 2025. Young has shown enough upside to warrant having his fifth-year option picked up for 2027 at around $26.5 million in May of 2026, but the Panthers may be reluctant to hand Young a lucrative extension and tie themselves to him long-term unless he shows more consistency.
