Young's knee injury and O-line woes leave him vulnerable to Broncos' elite pass rush.

Young was brilliant in Weeks 1–2 with three TDs and 24+ fantasy points in both games, but suffered a minor knee injury in Week 3 that he's played through with a brace, limiting his mobility. Since then, he's thrown just seven TDs and four interceptions over six contests. The Panthers' offensive line has been ravaged by injuries; Young has been pressured on 50% of his dropbacks over the last two weeks with a 35.4 passer rating and 20% success rate against pressure, averaging just 9.39 fantasy points per game in those two outings. He now faces a Broncos defense with the league's fourth-highest pressure rate (40.3%) and second-highest quick pressure rate (21.7%), both increasing in recent weeks. Young is well outside QB1 range and closer to the back of QB2 range.
