Bryce Young Week 16 Outlook - Buccaneers at Panthers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 18th 2025, 1:35pm EST

Bryce Young is the QB25 in fantasy points per game with four QB1 weekly outings this season, including two in his last four games. Young has been an impossible player to predict this season, with these random spike week games when you least expect it, and duds when we chase the previous performances. Young is lined up well again this week to have a strong game, but who knows if that will actually happen. Among 44 qualifying passers, Young ranks 27th in passing yards per game, 34th in yards per attempt, 35th in highly accurate throw rate, and 27th in fantasy points per dropback. This week, he faces a Bucs pass defense that, since Week 11, has been one of the worst in the league, giving up the third-most passing yards per game, the fourth-highest yards per attempt, the seventh-highest CPOE, and the fourth-highest success rate per dropback.
