2024 Fantasy Outlook
The No. 1 pick in last year’s draft, Young had a rough welcome to the NFL. He finished at or near the bottom of nearly every passing category last season, including in yards per attempt where his 5.5 mark was the lowest in the league in a decade. Young was not just inaccurate, but he rarely attempted to stretch the field. Only 7.2 percent of his throws went longer than 20 yards, 29th in the league. When he did go deep, he struggled -- only Mac Jones had a lower completion percentage on downfield passes than Young’s 22.8 percent. Young lacks a signature trait -- he doesn’t have a big arm, doesn’t run much (four designed runs for zero yards) and he’s just 5-10 — but the Panthers didn't exactly help matters last season. They failed to surround him with talent, and the scheme was so futile it cost head coach Frank Reich his job after Week 12. Former Buccaneers offensive coordinator Dave Canales was hired to do for Young what he did for Baker Mayfield last year. Canales plans to use play-action and bootlegs to keep Young upright after 62 sacks last year, in addition to getting the ball out more quickly. The Panthers traded for WR Diontae Johnson, drafted WR Xavier Legette at No. 32 overall and signed a pair of starting guards, ensuring Young will have at least a little more help than he did last year.

Remains starter after bye week
Panthers head coach Dave Canales confirmed that Young will remain the team's starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
After a five-game benching earlier in the season, Young returned to the starting lineup Week 8, when Andy Dalton was unavailable after suffering a thumb injury in a car accident. Though Dalton was cleared to resume playing Week 9, Young proceeded to start in both of the Panthers' final two games prior to their Week 11 bye, guiding Carolina to wins over the Saints and Giants while completing 60.8 percent of his passes for 5.8 yards per attempt and a 2:1 TD:INT between those two victories. While his numbers since reclaiming the starting role aren't overly impressive, Young has still taken a step forward from his lowly production during his 2023 rookie campaign and the first two games of 2024. He'll remain a low-end fantasy option while he continues to start for Carolina, with his utility largely limited to leagues that start two quarterbacks or have a QB flex spot.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Panthers traded WR DJ Moore and a bevy of picks to Chicago to move up in the draft and select Young first overall. Carolina got the QB it wanted, which likely means Young will be the Week 1 starter rather than 35-year-old Andy Dalton. But Young faces significant questions. He’s small at 5-10, 204, which makes durability a concern, in addition to his ability to see the full field. He throws a good deep ball, though he doesn’t have an elite arm. And unlike other undersized QBs that have held up in the pros, Young isn't especially fast and didn't run much in college. He is noted for being tough, poised in the pocket and accurate (12 INTs on 949 attempts at Alabama), often thriving off-script to creatively extend plays while looking to throw rather than run. The Panthers tried to help him this spring by signing RB Miles Sanders, WR Adam Thielen, WR DJ Chark and TE Hayden Hurst and drafting WR Jonathan Mingo in the second round. The veterans are all capable, but none is a game-changer. The Panthers’ rebuild also features new coach Frank Reich, who should help Young develop. And this year could be more about that than anything else for Young.

Starting again Week 9
Young will draw a second consecutive start Sunday against the Saints, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Young started Week 8 against the Broncos after Andy Dalton suffered a thumb sprain in a car accident last Tuesday. He performed reasonably well against a tough Denver defense, throwing for a season-high 224 yards and two touchdowns, albeit with two interceptions as well. Although Dalton was expected to practice in full Wednesday, head coach Dave Canales pre-emptively named Young the starter for the divisional clash against the Saints, while noting Dalton would be expected to serve as Young's backup.
