2025 Fantasy Outlook

No targets in win
WRSeattle Seahawks
September 26, 2025
Young wasn't targeted in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Cardinals. He returned one kick for 29 yards.
ANALYSIS
Young also recorded three solo tackles on special teams. He played just two offensive snaps, and it appears he'll only handle a serious amount of offensive work if injuries stack up or the Seahawks are in a blowout game.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Young is on the roster bubble heading into 2024 after he played just nine offensive snaps over six games in 2023, as he struggled with multiple injuries. The 2022 seventh-round pick is an athletic specimen that showed promise on special teams, but the new regime in town may find his skillset redundant.
A seventh-round pick, Young earned a roster spot in camp but rarely played unless Marquise Goodwin was hurt. He finished with two catches for 24 yards. Young is still a project from a Division II school, but his standout athleticism - he ran a 4.47 40-yard dash with a 6-foot-3, 220-pound frame - is useful on special teams while he develops. The Seahawks won't need Young to make an impact this year as long as their three star receivers stay healthy.
Young beat out third-year receiver Freddie Swain and rookie seventh-round pick Bo Melton for the sixth wide receiver spot. An interesting prospect, Young was highly productive as a receiver and as a rusher at Division II Lenoir-Rhyne, and he ran a 4.47 40-yard dash at 6-foot-3, 220 pounds. He'll need some time to develop his skills at the NFL level and projects for limited usage in 2022.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Improves stock vs. Kansas City
WRSeattle Seahawks
August 16, 2025
Young continued his strong training camp with a good performance in the Seahawks' 33-16 preseason win over the Chiefs on Friday, finishing with three catches on as many targets for 52 yards, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Young saw additional work in Friday's game after Tory Horton left in the second quarter due to an ankle injury. Young played 22 snaps on offense and led both teams in receiving yards Friday while adding a 29-yard kickoff return early in the second quarter. The 2022 seventh-rounder has served mostly in a special teams role in the first three years of his NFL career, and that remains his clearest path to making the Seahawks' 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp and preseason.
