Bryce Young Struggles On Sunday, Will Remain Under Center
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young threw for 219 yards and one touchdown off 19-for-28 passing in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. He also had two picks and added 12 yards and a score off three touches. The signal-caller has played better of late compared to the start of the 2024-25 campaign. However, he seemingly took a small step backward in Week 15. But it appears Young will have an opportunity to turn it around, with head coach Dave Canales stating the 23-year-old would remain under center in Week 16 versus the Arizona Cardinals. With that in mind, that won't necessarily make him a trustworthy fantasy option.
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young didn't throw his first touchdown of the 2024-25 campaign until the Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos. Yet, he's tossed at least one touchdown in every game since then. Granted, there is still room for improvement. But there have been signs of life from Young, with the signal-caller falling just two yards shy of his first 300-yard passing performance of the year in Week 13. With Carolina sitting on only three wins, the team's playoff hopes faded away weeks ago. Still, Young will likely try to prove his worth for the remainder of the season, giving him some upside for Sunday's meeting against a shaky Cowboys defense. Does the favorable matchup make the 23-year-old a viable fantasy option? Not necessarily. However, he does deserve some recognition for those participating in deep two-QB setups. Young will also see some attention from DFS managers in Week 15.
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young completed 55% of his pass attempts for 191 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in a 22-16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Young also added 29 rushing yards on seven attempts. For the most part, Young continued to look poised and confident, a recent development for the second-year quarterback. On 3rd-and-11 from Carolina's two-yard line, with 2:43 left in the fourth quarter and down six, he delivered a strike on a scramble drill play to Xavier Legette to keep the Panthers' hopes alive. Later that drive, Legette dropped the potential go-ahead touchdown with under a minute remaining. While Carolina has no postseason aspirations, the front office will closely monitor the play of their quarterback, who takes on Dallas in Week 15.
Bryce Young Continues Career-Best Stretch Against Buccaneers
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has continued showing much-improved confidence and talent over the last month, culminating in his best game against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Young finished the overtime loss with 298 yards, one passing touchdown, 17 rushing yards, and a rushing touchdown in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to Tampa Bay. He also added a clutch moment to his resume, connecting with Adam Thielen for a 25-yard touchdown to tie the game with 30 seconds remaining, capping a nine-play, 60-yard drive. It's clear that a midseason benching and reset were pivotal for Young, who has been guns blazing since his return to the lineup. However, a Week 14 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles will be his toughest test yet.
According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, the Panthers are pleased with the recent progression of quarterback Bryce Young. As a result, Carolina isn't expected to select a quarterback "early" in the 2025 NFL Draft. The 23-year-old struggled to begin the 2024-25 campaign. Although he still has a long way to go, he has at least thrown for over 224 yards in two of his previous four appearances. With that in mind, Young's job is far from secure. But as long as he continues to show improvement, it appears he'll remain under center. Still, the signal-caller has work to do before earning a consistent spot in fantasy lineups.
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is coming off his best game of the season against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. He completed 60% of his passes for 263 yards, one touchdown, and 20 rushing yards. In Week 13, a division foe comes to town as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers look to keep pace with the NFC South-leading Atlanta Falcons. Tampa Bay ranks 29th in points allowed to quarterbacks this year, making this Young's most favorable matchup of the season. However, he will be without pass catchers Jalen Coker (quadriceps) and Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck), who are both out. RotoBaller has Young ranked as QB28 this week.
Bryce Young Gives Chiefs A Scare, Will Remain The Starter In Week 13
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young had 263 yards and a touchdown off 21-for-35 passing in Sunday's three-point loss to the Chiefs. He added three carries for 20 yards. The signal-caller has had his share of struggles throughout the 2024-25 campaign. However, Young arguably had his best showing of the season. Head coach Dave Canales remained adamant Young would remain starting for the Week 13 NFC South meeting with the Bucs. Unfortunately, he'll need a few more acceptable performances before fantasy managers consider him a starting option.
Carolina Panthers second-year quarterback Bryce Young will start in Week 12 versus the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, according to head coach Dave Canales. The Panthers were non-committal on their QB situation heading into their bye in Week 10, but they will stick with last year's first overall pick instead of turning back to veteran Andy Dalton. The 23-year-old was benched for Dalton after his first two starts this year, but he has looked better while starting each of the team's last three games while leading Carolina to back-to-back victories. In his last three starts, Young has completed 62.5% of his 88 pass attempts for 521 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions. He'll be looking to build on that in Week 12, but a breakout is unlikely to come against one of the defenses in the league this week as the Chiefs look to bounce back after their first loss in 2024.
Bryce Young Leads Panthers To Second Straight Win Against Giants
For the first time in his career, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has initiated a winning streak as the Panthers defeated the New York Giants 20-17. While not spectacular, Young played his role and didn't turn the ball over, contributing 126 yards, a touchdown, and a 60% completion rate. The 23-year-old also added 30 rushing yards on two attempts in Sunday's win. Since taking over for veteran Andy Dalton, Young has a 4:3 touchdown-to-interception ratio, and the Panthers are 2-1. Carolina has a Week 11 bye and will face the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs in late November. Head coach Dave Canales declined to name Young the starting QB going forward, but given the win streak and his serviceable play, he should be expected to continue manning the helm.
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is coming off his best performance of the season against the New Orleans Saints in Week 9. Young finished that game with 171 yards, one touchdown, one interception, and a 61% completion rate. He also orchestrated a game-winning drive to secure Carolina's second win of the season. In Week 10, he'll travel to Germany to face a feeble New York Giants team who've lost four straight. Young has utilized some emerging targets in the Panthers' offense, such as tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders and wide receivers Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker. Still, as a QB fighting for his starting job every week, the second-year quarterback remains a low-end QB2 this week.
