Bryce Young is not a talent elevator and the team seems to be hiding him behind the ground game. He needs to take a significant step forward this season or he cannot support Tee Higgins' path to becoming a league winner.

Young's efficiency metrics declined significantly in 2025: 7.7 yards per attempt in 2024 dropped to 5.6 in 2025, with passer rating and other metrics down, partly due to limited receiver options to spread the field.

In 2024, Young averaged 11.2 yards per completion and 7.3 adjusted yards per attempt with a .11 EPA per dropback out of empty formations, showing solid efficiency when the field is spread.

Bryce Young is being underutilized by the Panthers offense, with the team not showing willingness to give him more volume or allow him to freelance and make plays, which is limiting the offense's potential.

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.

PositiveProjectionJul 9, 2026NFL: The Insiders

Young is positioned for growth in year two with Brad Izzik as the new play-caller and Dave Canales in a CEO role. Izzik's specialty is wide receivers and his connection with Young has been really cool to see. Izzik challenged Young to be more vocal with the team and use his leadership, and Young responded by showing a different version of himself to players. The Panthers created a basketball team of 6'3 or taller receivers for Young, which should help unleash the offense in a new way.

Bryce Young showed some flashes last season at age 24 and is only 25 years old, leaving room for improvement in the Panthers offense.

PositiveProjectionJul 7, 2026Footballguys

Jeff Haseley projects Young could crack the top 15 QB in 2026 if his touchdown trend continues and the Panthers' passing game becomes more aggressive. Young increased touchdown passes from 15 in 2024 to 23 in 2025, and has 8 rushing touchdowns in the last two years. Ryan Weisse notes Young posted career highs in passing yards, touchdowns, completion percentage, and passer rating in 2025 under Dave Canales, with full-year chemistry established with Tetairoa McMillan and the addition of rookie Chris Brazzell II expected to continue the upward trajectory. Jeff Bell highlights Young's second-half breakout as a sleeper profile: QB27 in first half (Weeks 1-10) but QB11 from Week 11 onward, with completion percentage jumping from 61.7% to 66%, yards per game from 168.2 to 213.9, and 17-game TD rate from 20.8 to 29.1; he also doubled rushing from 9 to 18 yards per game and carried this improvement to the playoffs. With improved offensive line, deeper routes developing downfield under new coordinator Brad Idzik, and an upgraded receiving corps, Young's weekly floor and overall fantasy ceiling should continue to rise in 2026. Andy Hicks notes the Panthers are fully committed to Young with backup Andy Dalton no longer on the roster, and Young has finished as a high-end QB2 in each of the last two seasons, largely driven by breakout performances including a 448-yard, three-touchdown outing against the Falcons.

PositiveValueJul 6, 2026FantasyPros Articles

Bryce Young is undervalued to the point where most fantasy managers are not even considering him as an option, unfairly blamed for the Panthers' lack of success despite flashing serious potential. The Panthers restructured the offensive line and acquired high-end, big-bodied weapons like 2025 Offensive Player of the Year Tetairoa McMillan and rookie Chris Brazzell II, signaling their investment in Young. The receiver room includes Xavier Legette (still proving himself as a first-round talent) and Jalen Coker (emerged as a highly reliable target). Young finished as QB19 with 229 fantasy points in 2025; with this overhauled setup, the source projects his production to jump to a floor of QB12 with a ceiling around QB11. You lose nothing by drafting him late in dynasty startups, making the former top pick an ideal target in a vastly improved offense.
