Willie Young played better than the stat sheet

Willie Young was coming off two monster performances. His stat sheet did not show a big game against the Packers, but he was constantly providing pressure on Aaron Rodgers. In fact, he caused the initial pressure that led to the Leonard Floyd strip-sack fumble for a touchdown. On paper, Young only finished with a solo tackle and a pass deflection.

Fantasy Impact:

Young is only worth owning in deeper IDP leagues. He has a LB designation, but in this defense plays more like a defensive end. He can have big games, but also disappear on the stat sheet like he did in this one. If you need a bye week fill in, Young could be the guy to help for a week or two. Other than that, look for more consistency in your linebackers.
