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.

Tosses TD in preseason opener
Young completed four of six passes for 58 yards and a touchdown during Friday's 30-10 preseason loss to the Browns.
ANALYSIS
The third-year quarterback got the start but only handled the Panthers' first two drives before handing things over to Andy Dalton. Young made an impact in his brief time on the field however, capping his final possession with a five-yard TD strike to Jalen Coker, a score set up by a 29-yard connection with rookie wideout Tetairoa McMillan. Young showed signs of growth in 2024 after a disastrous rookie campaign, and Carolina is counting on the first overall pick in the 2023 Draft to take another big step forward with his development this season.

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
Looks crisp in first preseason game
Young, who looked notably improved during the latter portion of the 2024 season, opened preseason in encouraging form against the Browns on Friday night, Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Young played the first two drives with most of the Panthers' offensive starters and completed four of six passes for 58 yards and a touchdown. His most impressive work may have come in conjunction with rookie first-round pick Tetairoa McMillan, who he hit for completions of 30 and 13 yards, and who also couldn't find the handle on what appeared to be a sure touchdown. Young subsequently connected with Jalen Coker for a five-yard scoring toss after a scramble, however, seemingly showing even more command of head coach Dave Canales' offense after another offseason and several training camp practices to absorb it further.
