Los Angeles Rams
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Rams were able to find elite talent in the third round of the 2023 Draft with Young, who stepped into a starting role and produced a solid 61 tackles, 8.0 sacks and two forced fumbles while starting all 17 games for a young Rams defense. He'll have a new face alongside him at outside linebacker, as L.A. used its first-round pick on Jared Verse, who should be helpful addressing the pass rush after Aaron Donald's retirement. Expect Young to be one of the core pieces of the Rams defense along with LB Ernest Jones and DL Kobie Turner. Read Past Outlooks

Young (knee) is active for Sunday's battle against the Patriots, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
Young had been questionable heading into Sunday due to a knee issue, but he'll be able to suit up against New England. The second-year outside linebacker will look to extend his current three-game streak of games with at least one sack. The Patriots have given up the third-most sacks (32) to opponents on the season.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
With the Rams choosing to let their top two linebackers in Bobby Wagner and Leonard Floyd depart in free agency, they spent a third-round pick on Young, who notched 23.5 tackles for loss and 12.5 sacks over two seasons in Tennessee. The Rams outside linebacker crew only returned converted defensive end Michael Hoecht and little-used Keir Thomas and Daniel Hardy from last season, setting up Young for a big role in his rookie year.
