All Fantasy Points insights about Bryce Young
NegativeBustOct 26, 2026
Bryce Young has dramatically regressed after five to six weeks of looking incredible, turning into a pumpkin in a 43-13 loss to Tampa Bay. He took five sacks, had three turnovers, and the Panthers revoked his volume despite being down 30 points. The source notes this is old Bryce Young—a ghost of his recent self—and questions whether his recent success was real or just a fake-out.NegativeBustOct 21, 2026
The source expresses skepticism regarding Bryce Young's recent performance, suggesting he will eventually regress and turn back into a pumpkin.PositiveProjectionOct 19, 2026
Bryce Young is a legitimate every-week fantasy starter, ranking as a fringe top-10 to top-12 quarterback due to the Panthers' high pass rate over expectation and improved efficiency, having surpassed 280 passing yards in all five games this season.PositiveProjectionOct 16, 2026
The source believes current projections for Bryce Young are too low, noting he is the QB3 in fantasy points per game and ranks eighth in EPA per dropback. He is considered a viable streaming option for Week 6, supported by the offense's high pace and pass rate.PositiveValueOct 6, 2026
Bryce Young is a viable waiver wire target, currently 76% rostered and available in 24% of leagues. He previously finished as the QB6 against the Detroit Lions defense.PositiveUsageSep 28, 2026
Scott Barrett highlights Bryce Young as a fantasy asset due to the Panthers' extreme pace of play and high volume, noting they are now letting him 'ball out' with 48 pass attempts in the recent game and finally allowing him to throw more frequently.PositiveBustSep 24, 2026
Bryce Young is a sit for the week. The source is not yet willing to buy into him as a fantasy superstar and notes he is not currently a top-12 quarterback.PositiveProjectionSep 22, 2026
Bryce Young is a viable C-tier one-week fill-in for fantasy managers. While the source remains skeptical due to his historical performance and reliance on soft matchups against the Bears and Falcons, Young has shown recent improvement with four straight games of 250+ passing yards and increased pass-heavy usage.PositiveProjectionSep 21, 2026
Bryce Young has recorded four consecutive games with 35+ pass attempts and 250+ passing yards, averaging 24 fantasy points per game. He remains elite in deep-ball efficiency metrics, including hero throw rate and accurate throw rate, suggesting he is showing genuine development as a reclamation project.PositiveBustSep 15, 2026
D-tier waiver target despite 361-yard performance against weak Bears defense; boom-bust archetype with QB1 finishes in only 6 of his last 22 games (compared to Brassette's 11 of 12). When he does finish top-5, results are elite (finishes of 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th), but inconsistency and height limitations make him unreliable week-to-week. Strong Week 1 performance likely reflects Bears defense weakness rather than sustainable improvement.NegativeProjectionAug 26, 2026
Bryce Young is used as a comparative benchmark for efficiency and production to illustrate the significant drop-off in fantasy value for elite mobile quarterbacks who suffer lower-body injuries.NegativeProjectionAug 24, 2026
The source remains skeptical of Bryce Young's passing volume and overall efficiency, which creates hesitation for drafting his pass-catchers. However, there is an expectation that the offense will need to increase its pass rate to remain competitive, which should lead to more 'easy button' throws for Young.NegativeRoleJul 25, 2026
Scott Barrett identifies Bryce Young as a significant limiting factor for his receivers' production. Young is described as underperforming at quarterback—"stinks and is short and awful"—which constrains offensive output despite elite yardage market share from receivers. Young's 198 passing yards per game ceiling prevents receivers from reaching their ceiling even with elite efficiency metrics.NegativeProjectionJul 10, 2026
Bryce Young is averaging only 180 yards per game passing in his entire career, and the analyst notes this is the one big thing that could hold Chuba Hubbard back, as Young needs to take a big step forward.PositiveRoleMay 27, 2026
Bryce Young brings a big-time size-speed combination and is expected to be on the field a lot for the Saints.NegativeProjectionMay 6, 2026
Has not reached 190 passing yards per game in any of his three NFL seasons and averages 6.0 yards per pass attempt, ranking 36th among 37 qualifying quarterbacks, limiting his receivers' upside.PositiveProjectionApr 30, 2026
Bryce Young is projected to be a starter for New Orleans in year one based on the team's draft strategy of adding speed and athleticism at receiver, though he fell in draft order and some analysts were higher on him pre-draft.PositiveProjectionNo date
Ranked QB14 by the source but positioned as a firm QB1 for this week against Detroit's elite pass defense. The source emphasizes strong recent performance: three of his seven best games by passing yards have occurred in the past three weeks, with massive play volume and elevated pass rate over expectation. Detroit has given up over 100 more passing yards than any other defense and the most rushing fantasy points to opposing QBs, creating an ideal game script. The source states: "I don't know how you can tell our subscribers to sit Bryce Young against this Lion's defense in this potential game script." In head-to-head QB comparisons, Young is favored over Bo Knicks, CJ Stroud, and Brock Purdy (though Jaylen Hurts is preferred). The source concludes: "I think I'll take Bryce over all those guys not named Brock Purdy. He's firmly a QB1 for me."NegativeProjectionNo date
The analyst questions whether Bryce Young can support two fantasy-relevant weapons in the passing game, noting that limitations could come from Young's ability to sustain weekly productivity.
