I think it's safe to say at this point in Bryce Young's career that he has fallen short of expectations as the No.1 overall draft pick in 2023. We're all familiar with his rookie season -- a season where, in a seven-game stretch between Weeks 12-18, he tossed only two TDs. His play spiraled downward in the first few weeks of 2024, leading to his three-game benching. He assumed the starting position in Week 7 and proceeded to have the best stretch of his short career. He tossed at least one TD in every game the remainder of the season while also limiting his turnovers.
Young is now solidified as the starter heading into 2025, which makes him worthy of a late-round flyer. His solid finish last season was a great way to remind fantasy managers of his potential. Much of Young's continued development will depend on how fast he connects with rookie wideout Tetairoa McMillian, as well as the continued development of the ascending offensive line. Young would best serve as a QB2 with some potential of a top-12 finish any given week.

 Bryce Young suffers sprained ankle in Week 7
Expected to miss Week 8
By: Mike Krueger | Mon Oct 20, 11:45 am
|  | #Panthers QB Bryce Young suffered a high ankle sprain on Sunday, an MRI revealed, and he is expected to miss this week’s game against the #Bills, per sources. Andy Dalton is now in line to start against Buffalo, and quite possibly beyond. The exact timetable for Bryce Young is TBD. This type of high ankle sprain is generally a 2-4 week injury, though Carolina is hopeful he could miss as little as one game. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: Carolina's bye doesn't come until Week 14 so we're likely to see Dalton at quarterback for the next couple games (BUF, @GB). Young is currently the QB28 and doesn't hold much fantasy value outside of 2-QB or Superflex leagues. We might actually get some better passing performances out of the Panthers with Dalton under center.
