• Panthers' Bryce Young: Five total TDs in OT win

  01/05/2025 • By RotoWire

  Young completed 25 of 34 passes for 251 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed five times for 24 yards and another two touchdowns in the Panthers' 44-38 overtime win over the Falcons on Sunday. Young put a fitting cap on a strong stretch run in which he finally began to look like a player befitting the top overall pick invested in him, tying a career high with his trio of touchdown passes and establishing a new personal best with five total scores. The TD tosses went to Miles Sanders (33 yards), Tommy Tremble (12 yards) and David Moore (nine yards), and Young tacked on two more end-zone trips via two- and 10-yard rushes. The second-year signal-caller finished the regular season with three straight games with multiple touchdown passes, as well as four rushing scores in his last four contests. Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports that head coach Dave Canales gave his young quarterback a significant vote of confidence during his postgame press conference, noting that "Bryce is our quarterback" and adding he was proud of how Young had successfully taken on the challenge of improving after being benched early in the campaign.

• Panthers' Bryce Young: Sleeper QBs

  01/04/2025 • By Jamey Eisenberg

  It's been fun to watch Young improve as the season has gone on, and he scored at least 20.9 Fantasy points in two games in a row and three of his past five coming into Week 18. And he should have the chance for another strong game at Atlanta. The Falcons are No. 6 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks, and Andy Dalton scored 18.9 Fantasy points against Atlanta in Week 6 when Young was benched. Young will hopefully have one more solid outing to prove he deserves to be Carolina's starting quarterback in 2025.

  Young has scored at least 20.9 Fantasy points in two games in a row and three of his past five, and he should have the chance for another strong game in Week 18 at Atlanta. The Falcons are No. 6 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks, and Andy Dalton scored 18.9 Fantasy points against Atlanta in Week 6 when Young was benched. Young is worth a flier in deeper leagues.

• Panthers' Bryce Young: Serviceable numbers in loss

  12/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  Young completed 15 of 28 passes for 203 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed twice for eight yards in the Panthers' 48-14 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also fumbled twice, but Carolina retained possession both times. Young wasn't very efficient during the lopsided loss, but he was able to salvage his fantasy day with touchdown passes of 17 and 40 yards to Adam Thielen in the first half. The second-year signal-caller otherwise found success hard to come by against what had been a vulnerable Buccaneers pass defense, and he extended his streak of games with at least one touchdown pass to nine. Young, who has undeniably improved since returning to the starting role in Week 8, will look to close out the campaign on a positive note on the road against the Falcons in Week 18.

  Young could have all of his weapons available for Week 17 at Tampa Bay with Adam Thielen off the injury report, and Xavier Legette (hip/wrist) is listed as questionable. Along with Jalen Coker and David Moore, Young should have the chance for a quality outing against the Buccaneers, who are No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Young scored 31.1 Fantasy points against Arizona in Week 16, and he scored 25.6 points in his last meeting with Tampa Bay in Week 13. Young could be a solid replacement if you need a starter in Week 17, given the matchup.
