2025 Fantasy Outlook
After a shockingly dominant start to his career in 2023, the third-round pick put up nearly identical numbers last season: 62 tackles, including 7.5 sacks, a pass defense and a forced fumble. Young was aided by Jared Verse stepping in alongside him to provide a two-headed monster at outside linebacker that kept opposing quarterbacks on their toes on every snap. The Rams spent a third-round pick on Josaiah Stewart to solidify the depth chart behind the talented duo, and Young should continue to act as a pillar on defense for the Rams in Year 3.

Signed a four-year, $5.56 million contract with the Rams in July of 2023.
Gets to Stroud in Week 1
Young logged nine tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 14-9 win over Houston.
ANALYSIS
Young was one of three Rams players to record a sack Sunday, with his takedown of C.J. Stroud early in the second quarter leading to a Texans punt two plays later. Young logged 15.5 sacks over the first two years of his NFL career, and the 2023 third-rounder is expected to play a prominent role in the Rams' pass rush alongside fellow edge rusher Jared Verse.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
The Rams were able to find elite talent in the third round of the 2023 Draft with Young, who stepped into a starting role and produced a solid 61 tackles, 8.0 sacks and two forced fumbles while starting all 17 games for a young Rams defense. He'll have a new face alongside him at outside linebacker, as L.A. used its first-round pick on Jared Verse, who should be helpful addressing the pass rush after Aaron Donald's retirement. Expect Young to be one of the core pieces of the Rams defense along with LB Ernest Jones and DL Kobie Turner.
