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.

Signed a four-year, $37.96 million contract with the Panthers in July of 2023.
Misses practice, still day-to-day
Young (ankle) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Newton, a Panthers team spokesperson said Thursday that Young remains day-to-day and has displayed some progress since suffering a right high-ankle sprain in this past Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets. That said, Young has yet to practice this week and doesn't seem to be trending toward playing in this Sunday's matchup with the Bills. Andy Dalton has taken all of the reps with the first-team offense Wednesday and Thursday and will likely be named the Panthers' Week 8 starting quarterback following Friday's practice.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

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 miss multiple games
Young has been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain after being knocked out of Sunday's win over the Jets, and Andy Dalton is expected to get the start for the Panthers in Week 8 against the Bills, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Carolina isn't yet ruling Young out for the game versus Buffalo, but high-ankle sprains typically have a 2-to-4-week recovery period. With the team not getting its bye until Week 14, that figures to put Dalton under center for multiple contests. Young has taken a modest step forward in 2025, with his 61.6 percent completion rate tracking toward a career high, and he's already thrown 11 TDs in seven games after tossing just 15 in 14 games last season.
