Bryce Young's Dynasty Value Impacted by Inconsistency
Carolina quarterback Bryce Young has had an up-and-down career since the Panthers made him the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. The soon-to-be-25-year-old signal caller was briefly benched in his second season before reclaiming the job due to injury, and in his third season in 2025, he led the Panthers to an 8-9 record and their first playoff appearance since 2017. His fantasy results have also been held down by a lack of consistency, with finishes of QB23, QB20, and QB19. Young's five 2025 weekly results as the QB12 or better marked a career high, but through three seasons in the league, he has yet to string two such finishes together in consecutive weeks, making him a difficult weekly play outside of best ball formats. His best outing in 2025 came in a Week 11 overtime win over the Falcons, in which he threw for 448 yards and scored more than 36 fantasy points. By contrast, in the two games prior, he scored a combined 0.54 fantasy points while playing 100% of the snaps. At RotoBaller's dynasty QB28, Young is a passable QB2 in superflex leagues, but his devastating lows make him more suitable as a luxury third quarterback.

Panthers Will Continue to Discuss Extension With Bryce Young
Carolina Panthers president of football operations/general manager Dan Morgon told the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero on Tuesday that the organization will continue to "talk through" a potential long-term contract extension with quarterback Bryce Young. Morgan added that the team "will figure it out at the right time," and that the team "loves him" as he works hard to improve year after year. Carolina unsurprisingly picked up the 24-year-old's fifth-year option for the 2027 season, so they don't exactly have to be in a rush to sign him to an extension. The former first overall pick in 2023 out of Alabama looked overmatched as a rookie and was benched in favor of Andy Dalton in Year 2, but he took a big step forward in 2025, throwing for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in 16 regular-season starts. Young's physical attributes don't exactly jump out at you, but he has shown in the last year and a half that he has what it takes to at least be a competent starter in the NFL. His dynasty stock is on the rise, but RotoBaller still has him ranked only as the No. 28 QB in those formats.
