racking up career highs in tackles (82) and sacks (12) while adding an impressive 29 tackles for loss on the way to a fourth-place finish in fantasy points...With Myles Garrett now in Los Angeles, Young has seemingly been relegated to second-fiddle status on the edge in La-La Land. But Garrett's arrival isn't necessarily a bad thing for Young, who will now see double teams on approximately never percent of his snaps.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Byron Young maintains DL1 floor despite Garrett arrival; benefits from reduced double teams.

Byron Young finished fourth in fantasy points among defensive linemen in 2025 with career highs of 82 tackles and 12 sacks plus 29 tackles for loss in his third professional season. Despite Myles Garrett's arrival in Los Angeles, Young remains a high-floor DL1 target because Garrett's presence will eliminate double teams on Young's snaps. Young is an excellent edge-setter who has never had fewer than 60 stops in a season, making him an excellent value target for IDP managers who invested heavily at linebacker early in drafts.
