Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young had his most efficient game of the season before the bye against the Los Angeles Rams. He completed 15 of 20 passes for 206 yards and three touchdowns while adding five carries for 23 yards as a runner in the upset win. Young will be looking to put together a consistent stretch of quality games, something he has struggled with this season and throughout his career. Notably, in the week after his career-high 448 passing yards in Week 11 against the Atlanta Falcons, he followed it up with two interceptions and only 169 passing yards against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football. The 2023 No. 1 overall pick still sits as a low-end QB2 most weeks, and he has a tough matchup in Week 15 against a New Orleans Saints defense that hasn't allowed a 200-yard passer in four straight games.

ESPN's Dan Graziano writes that he expects the Carolina Panthers to pick up quarterback Bryce Young's fifth-year option for the 2027 season, but that there is uncertainty about Young's future in Carolina beyond his rookie contract. The number one overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft, Young has rebounded from a horrendous rookie season over the past two years, most notably leading Carolina to a 7-5 record in his starts this season. However, questions remain about the 24-year-old's true franchise-leading upside. Across 12 starts in 2025, Young has completed 63.4% of his pass attempts for 2,337 yards, 18 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. He hasn't exactly had an amazing supporting cast around him in Carolina, but Young has also averaged an extremely underwhelming six yards per pass attempt across his 42 career NFL games. It appears as though the Panthers are committed to Young in the short term, but remain in wait-and-see mode as far as handing him a contract extension.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young led his team to a big upset win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 13, completing 15 of 20 passes for 206 yards and three touchdowns to go with five carries for 23 yards. Young bounced back after a disappointing game last Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers, consistently showing up in the biggest moments of the game. His first touchdown came on a swing pass to Chuba Hubbard on third down that Hubbard turned into a 35-yard score, while both of his other touchdowns came on pivotal fourth downs on beautiful throws. The Panthers leaned into the run more with 35 total running back carries after just nine last week in San Francisco to help put Young in more favorable situations. The third-year signal caller hasn't been consistent game to game, but he's delivered in some big spots and helped lead the Panthers to a massive upset win over arguably the best team in football in the Rams. Young and the Panthers will ride this momentum into their Week 14 bye before three big divisional games in the final four weeks.

Bryce Young is not worthy of consideration for fantasy lineups in Week 13. In Week 12, the Carolina QB logged 10.3 fantasy points and one passing touchdown. He also completed 18-for-29 attempts for 169 passing yards and threw two interceptions. In the past four weeks, Young scored less than 11 fantasy points in three games and surpassed 200 passing yards only once. Carolina faces the Los Angeles Rams in Week 13. The Rams rank fifth in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to QBs this season. The Rams' pass defense has also registered 12 interceptions, which is the third-most in the league. Due to the unfavorable matchup against Los Angeles and underwhelming fantasy totals on the year, Young should be benched in all formats. Fantasy players should consider an alternative if available in Superflex leagues.

Bryce Young followed up his best performance of the season in Week 11 with another underwhelming outing in Week 12's 20-9 loss to the 49ers. The third-year QB went 18-for-29 for 169 yards with one TD pass. He also threw two interceptions, including one in the end zone, and registered only 10.3 fantasy points. Through 11 games, Young has scored 20-plus points only twice while averaging 13.3 Fantasy Points Per Game. The Panthers will have a tough matchup for Young in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams, who rank fifth in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to QBs. The Rams' pass defense has registered 12 interceptions this season, which is tied for the third-most in the league. Considering his mediocre fantasy totals for the year and the terrible matchup against Los Angeles, fantasy players should leave Young on the bench in all formats. You should even consider an alternative in superflex leagues if possible.

Bryce Young is coming off the best performance of his NFL career. In Week 11, Young finished with three passing touchdowns, no interceptions, and set a new Panthers single-game franchise record with 448 passing yards. He was also the fantasy QB2 for the week and earned a season-high 31.8 fantasy points. Carolina faces the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. The Niners' defense continues to be riddled with injuries. San Francisco ranks 24th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to QBs and has surrendered the second-most passing yards (2,817) in the league this season. Last week, Arizona QB Jacoby Brissett completed 47 passes for 452 yards and two TDs against the Niners. Fantasy players looking for a streaming option in deeper leagues should consider Young. He may produce quality fantasy totals for Week 12 even if he doesn't quite approach last week's numbers.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Thursday, according to the team's website. The former No. 1 pick was listed on the injury report with the ankle injury he suffered in last Sunday's win against the Atlanta Falcons, but it didn't prevent him from getting on the field in preparation for Week 12 against the San Francisco 49ers. Fantasy managers should monitor how his ankle responds to the next two days of practice, but all signs point to him suiting up on Monday night. He'll look to build off last week's terrific showing that included 448 passing yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He has QB1 upside, but for now, he ranks in the mid-to-low QB2 tier.

Carolina Panthers' QB Bryce Young scored an impressive 36.40 fantasy points in Sunday's Week 11 win in Atlanta. Young threw for 448 yards on 31-of-45 with three touchdowns.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) had one of the best games of his career in Week 11, completing 31 of 45 pass attempts for 448 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions in a win over the Atlanta Falcons. Unfortunately for Young, he also suffered an ankle injury that may affect his status for Week 12. Young was able to finish the game against Atlanta, but Panthers head coach Dave Canales said the team won't have an update on Young's ankle until Thursday. The Panthers play the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. If Young can play, he could be in a position to build upon his Week 11 breakout against the shorthanded San Francisco defense. However, Young has topped 200 passing yards just twice in 10 games this season, so expectations should be at least somewhat limited. Young profiles as a solid fantasy QB2 heading into Week 12.

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said on Monday that the team won't have an update on quarterback Bryce Young's ankle injury until Thursday, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. Person notes that this is standard operating procedure with Canales during his Monday press conferences. The 24-year-old signal-caller appeared to suffer a serious injury early in Sunday's overtime win against the Atlanta Falcons, but he didn't end up missing a snap and finished with a career day. Young went 31-for-45 passing for 448 yards and three touchdowns in the Week 11 victory, mostly peppering receivers Tetairoa McMillan and Xavier Legette with targets to bring the team back from down 14 points. He could be limited in practice this week, but he should be able to play in Week 12 against the San Francisco 49ers. As long as his ankle doesn't negatively impact him in that game, Young will have high-end QB2 appeal in fantasy against San Fran's banged-up defense.

Dynasty | Panthers quarterback Bryce Young completed 31-of-45 passes for 448 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in a win against Atlanta. Dynasty Analysis: Young had posted just one other game with more than 200 passing yards on the season, so this one came out of nowhere. While he hasn't quite progressed as much as many hoped this year, he's still posted a solid year where for a Panthers team that's won five-of-six games. Young somehow has Carolina in the playoff chase and has again shown why it's too early to give up on him. He's still a QB2 in dynasty leagues but progress still seems to be happening.

Panthers' QB Bryce Young passed for a monster 448 yards on 31-of-45 with three touchdowns in Sunday's win in Atlanta.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young completed 31 of his 45 pass attempts for 445 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 11 win over the Atlanta Falcons in overtime. He also took five sacks. Young was banged up in the gritty victory, as he exited twice after a player stepped on his ankle on two different occasions. Both of his departures were brief, though, and he was healthy enough to keep the Panthers in the game before leading a game-winning drive in overtime. Young set a new career-high in passing yards and will look to keep the momentum going against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. The former No. 1 pick has led his team to a 6-5 start with wins in five of the last seven games. Carolina is just half a game out of first place in the NFC South, trailing the 6-4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) departed and then returned to Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons after being stepped on, according to David Newton of ESPN. The former No. 1 overall pick missed a game earlier this year with an ankle injury, but was given the all-clear to return against Atlanta. Young has had mixed results this season, but entered the week ranked outside of the top 25 fantasy quarterbacks and has mostly been a matchup-dependent option in Superflex formats.
