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.

Locked in as starter down the stretch
QBCarolina Panthers
December 20, 2024
Panthers coach Dave Canales said Friday that Young will be the team's starting quarterback for the rest of the season, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
Young has played much better since retaking the starting role in November, but he's coming off a four-turnover performance in a 30-14 loss to Dallas. The Panthers apparently will continue starting him for the final three games even if he struggles, with an injury perhaps being the exception that would get Andy Dalton back on the field. Carolina hosts Arizona this Sunday.

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
Likely starter next season
QBCarolina Panthers
December 2, 2024
Young has played well enough since being reinserted in the starting lineup that he will likely be the Panthers' starting quarterback in 2025, Dan Graziano of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The second-year QB had trade rumors swirling around him not too long ago, but his improved play has made Carolina more comfortable with the idea of retaining him. Young will have two years remaining on his rookie contract after 2024, plus the fifth-year option, so the Panthers would need to get blown away by a trade offer to consider a reset at the position.
