2024 Fantasy Outlook
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.

RANKS
Expected to start again in 2024
The Panthers eventually expect to restore Young as their starting quarterback, though a timeline for him to reclaim the job from veteran Andy Dalton hasn't been established, sources tell Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
ANALYSIS
Young was sent to the bench after completing 31 of 56 pass attempts for 245 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions while taking six sacks in the Panthers' first two games, non-competitive losses to the Saints and Chargers. Though Young has now gone just 2-16 as a starter since entering the NFL as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Panthers apparently aren't yet ready to pull the plug on developing the 23-year-old. According to sources familiar with the situation, Rapoport relays that Young's removal from the starting role is "viewed as a timeout" for the young signal-caller and "not a season-long benching." Young has reportedly handled his demotion well and has continued to work in practice this week as the scout-team quarterback, and the Panthers are hopeful that at least one game of watching from the sideline will be beneficial. Head coach Dave Canales will likely provide an update on the team's plans at quarterback following Dalton's first start Sunday in Las Vegas.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Panthers traded WR DJ Moore and a bevy of picks to Chicago to move up in the draft and select Young first overall. Carolina got the QB it wanted, which likely means Young will be the Week 1 starter rather than 35-year-old Andy Dalton. But Young faces significant questions. He’s small at 5-10, 204, which makes durability a concern, in addition to his ability to see the full field. He throws a good deep ball, though he doesn’t have an elite arm. And unlike other undersized QBs that have held up in the pros, Young isn't especially fast and didn't run much in college. He is noted for being tough, poised in the pocket and accurate (12 INTs on 949 attempts at Alabama), often thriving off-script to creatively extend plays while looking to throw rather than run. The Panthers tried to help him this spring by signing RB Miles Sanders, WR Adam Thielen, WR DJ Chark and TE Hayden Hurst and drafting WR Jonathan Mingo in the second round. The veterans are all capable, but none is a game-changer. The Panthers’ rebuild also features new coach Frank Reich, who should help Young develop. And this year could be more about that than anything else for Young.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be moved in offseason
Several teams have reached out to the Panthers about trading for Young, and sources tell Adam Schefter of ESPN that the quarterback will likely be moved in the offseason.
ANALYSIS
Young threw for only 245 yards in two games before being benched for Andy Dalton in Week 3, and Dalton proceeded to post 319 yards and three touchdowns through the air in a 36-22 win over the Raiders. Carolina plans to keep Young around in a backup role this season and could even opt to turn back to the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft should Dalton struggle or get hurt, but Young may well be moved to another team in the offseason if the Panthers get the right trade offer.
