Any narrative that Young turned the corner doesn't show up in the actual numbers, which is why he's still considered one of the least enticing fantasy options at the position... on a per-game passing basis, he was still sitting at QB24. He's improving, but moving from QB34 to QB24 per game isn't a dramatic leap.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Young's QB24 per-game passing rank shows minimal improvement; insufficient to elevate receiver upside.

Bryce Young's overall fantasy ranking shows minimal improvement: QB23 in 2023, QB20 in 2024, QB19 in 2025 on a per-game basis (QB40, QB29, QB28 respectively). While his passing stats improved in 2025 (63.6% completion, 6.30 Y/A, 23 passing TDs), he ranked only QB24 per-game in passing production, a modest improvement from QB34 in 2024. This trajectory does not support the narrative that Young has turned the corner, and his per-game passing rank of QB24 is insufficient to unlock meaningful growth in his receivers' target volume or touchdown output.
