Bryce Young Week 5 Outlook - Dolphins at Panthers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 2nd 2025, 1:05pm EDT

The deeper we get into the 2025 season, the more Bryce Young DOES NOT look like the long-term answer at quarterback for the Panthers. He hasn't surpassed 6.0 yards per attempt in any game this season, and only once has he thrown for more than 200 yards. He isn't even using his legs, with less than ten yards rushing in each of his last three games. Among 38 qualifying quarterbacks, Young is 36th in yards per attempt, 33rd in highly accurate throw rate, and 24th in catchable target rate. If there was ever a spot to make Young look far better than he is, it's this week against the Dolphins. Miami has allowed the second-highest yards per attempt, the highest passer rating, the 11th-highest CPOE, and the 12th-most passing yards per game. Young is a strong QB2 that could flirt with QB1 production this week (as insane as that sounds). Miami is that bad.
